Key Features and Benefits

Customizable Downloading Page

• Advertising Space: Use the page to display ads or promotional content. This is an excellent opportunity to monetize your website or promote other products or services while the download is in progress.
• Social Media Links: Include links to your social media profiles, encouraging users to follow you on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram during the download process.

Enhanced User Engagement

• Auto-Play Video: Set up an auto-play video on the downloading page that shows instructions on how to use your product, or provides a tutorial. This allows users to watch something informative while their download is starting.
• Engage with Ads: Display ads during the waiting period, turning the download process into an additional opportunity for advertising revenue or promotion.

Automated Trigger

• Automatic Download Start: After a few seconds on the downloading page, the download will automatically begin. This ensures that users don’t have to wait long and enhances the overall experience.
• Manual Download Link: In addition to the automatic download trigger, a shortcode is provided that displays a manual download link, giving users the option to start the download at their convenience.

Customization with Template Overrides

• Template Customization: The Downloading Page extension comes with an overridable template file. This means you can completely customize the output of the manual download shortcode, allowing you to adjust the design and content to match your site’s branding.

Email Collection and Tracking

This helps you track which downloads are the most popular and how well your email collection strategy is performing.
