# Digital Downloads

### Overview

Our WP Cloud Plugins seamlessly integrates with WooCommerce, enabling you to deliver digital products straight from your cloud.

### **How to add Files from the Cloud**

1. Create a new WooCommerce product (**Products** → **Add New**) or edit an existing one.
2. In the **Product Data** section, check the **Downloadable** box.
3. Go to the **General** tab within the same section and click the **"Choose from Cloud"** button.
4. A new window will open—select the file from your Cloud Account that you want to add to your product.
5. Wait for the file to be linked to your product.
6. Done!

### **Recommended File Download Method**

When using WP Cloud Plugins with WooCommerce, it’s important to configure the file download method properly:

* If you select **"Force Download"** (**WooCommerce** → **Settings** → **Products** → **Downloadable Products**), files will be routed through your server, which may impact performance.
* We recommend using the **"Redirect Only"** method instead. This allows your customers to download files directly from the cloud, ensuring faster and more efficient downloads.

Unlike server-hosted downloads, the Redirect method is secure as customers are redirected to a temporary download link generated by the API, keeping your files protected.
