WooCommerce Upload Files GPL v85.4 | Activated

WooCommerce Upload Files Plugin Overview

The WooCommerce Upload Files plugin allows customers to upload files during the product purchase process, from the product page to checkout, order details, and thank you pages. This plugin is designed to make file uploads seamless and efficient, providing progress bars for file uploads and various customization options for shop owners.

This plugin supports file uploads for native WooCommerce product types (simple and variable) and allows for easy management of uploaded files directly from the backend.

Key Features of WooCommerce Upload Files Plugin

1. File Upload Across Multiple Pages

• Product Page: Customers can upload files directly from the product page.
• Cart Page: Upload files during the checkout process based on the purchased items.
• Checkout Page: Upload files while completing the purchase.
• Order Details Page: Customers can upload additional files after the order is placed.

2. Visual Progress Bars

• The plugin includes visual progress bars for file uploads, giving customers a clear indication of their upload status.

3. Customizable Upload Fields

• Field Title: Customize the title of the upload field.
• HTML/CSS Description: Add custom descriptions with HTML and CSS for better styling and presentation.
• Post-Upload Text: Display a message after the upload is complete (supports shortcodes for displaying the file list with previews).
• File Type Restrictions: Set allowed file types (e.g., images, PDFs).
• File Size Limits: Set maximum and minimum file sizes, as well as image width, height, and DPI (for image files).
• Multiple File Uploads: Enable customers to upload multiple files per field.

4. Security Features

• Secure Links: Mask file links to ensure that only the shop admin and the customer who uploaded the file can access it. However, note that files may still be accessible via direct links if cloud storage services like Dropbox or Amazon S3 are used.
• Cloud Storage: Save uploaded files directly to Dropbox or Amazon S3 accounts. The plugin automatically moves temporary files to the cloud storage after the order is placed.

5. Integration with Cloud Storage

• Dropbox Support: Files can be moved to your Dropbox account, where each order’s files are stored in a folder under Applications -> WooCommerce Upload Files -> site_name -> {order_id}.
• Amazon S3 Support: Files can also be saved on your Amazon S3 account, with the same folder structure as Dropbox.
• Error Handling: If there are any issues with Dropbox or Amazon S3 connections, the plugin will notify you and keep the files on the local server until the issue is resolved.

6. File Management

• Admins can view uploaded files directly from the backend Order Details page. Optionally, these files can be sent to the shop admin via email.
• File Deletion: Admins can delete uploaded files from the order management page if needed.

7. Easy Configuration

• Configurator Menu: The plugin provides an easy-to-use configurator where admins can set up upload fields for various pages and products.
• Visibility Settings: Configure which products or categories the upload fields should appear for, and customize the visibility based on product variations.

How It Works

4. Customer Upload: Customers upload files during the purchase process, with visual progress bars indicating upload status.
5. Admin Management: Admins can view and manage uploaded files from the backend Order Details page, with the option to send notifications via email.
