Welcome to Imprint Files Docs
An overview of Imprint's features, including secure download links, PDF watermarking, and our creator-friendly free plan.
Imprint is a carefully crafted Shopify app designed to help you sell digital files securely and effortlessly.
If you've ever tried selling files directly through Shopify, you know the struggle: generic download links that can be shared with anyone. Imprint changes the game. We create a unique, encrypted link for every single customer. This gives you the power to limit downloads, track usage, and revoke access at any time.
🚀 How It Works
The entire process is completely automated. Once you set it up (which only takes a few minutes), here is how your customers experience it:
- Instant Delivery via Email: As soon as an order is paid, Imprint automatically emails the secure download link to your customer.
- Instant Access at Checkout: Using our Checkout UI Extension, you can display download buttons directly on the "Thank You" and "Order Status" pages. Your customers get their files the second they buy!
🛡️ The Secret Weapon: PDF Watermarking
This is where Imprint truly shines. We don't just deliver files; we protect them.
Imprint allows you to stamp or watermark your PDF files in real-time. You can overlay unique details: like the customer's Order ID, Email, or Full Name directly onto the pages of the PDF.
Why does this matter? It's a powerful psychological deterrent against piracy. When a file is stamped with a buyer's personal email address, they are significantly less likely to share it publicly on the internet. It turns a generic file into a personal asset.
🌱 Built for Creators (The "Forever Free" Philosophy)
We believe that security shouldn't be a luxury. Imprint is designed to be the most generous digital delivery app on the market.
We know that when you are launching a digital store, budgets are tight. That's why our Free Plan includes almost all of our core features, including the powerful watermarking engine. We want to help you launch without the stress of monthly fees. We only grow when you grow.
