= All the eCommerce features you need =
Do you prefer an eCommerce solution which is simple and intuitive or one which is rich in features? Too often that tradeoff is one online sellers need to make. Fortunately, Easy Digital Downloads manages to be easy enough for eCommerce beginners to configure without sacrificing any important functionality.
> EDD gives me a solid platform out of the box, with the flexibility of being able to customize anything I want or need to. The best of both worlds!
> Brian Hogg – SellingPlugins.com
Here are some of the features supported out-of-the-box:
- **Frontend shopping cart** - Customers can browse your product catalogue, add items to their cart, and checkout when they are ready. Or they can bypass the cart using Buy Now buttons.
- **Flexible and clean checkout form** - Buyers can complete their purchase with ease, directly on your site's checkout page.
- **Complete customer management** - View and manage detailed records of all customers and their purchase history.
- **Detailed eCommerce reports** - Keep track of your earnings, refunds, sales, and more.
- **Protect product files** - Prevent unauthorized visitors from accessing your product files without paying.
- **Discount codes** - Boost sales by offering potential customers coupon or discount codes which can be applied at checkout.
- **Works with any theme** - Let your chosen WordPress theme handle the design. Easy Digital Downloads will fit right in.
- [And much more](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/edd-features/?utm_medium=readme&utm_source=wporg&utm_campaign=edd-plugin&utm_content=much-more&utm_term=description)!

You can submit a support ticket or pre-sale question from our [support page](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/support/?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=faq_tab&utm_content=support&utm_campaign=readme) at anytime.
= Which file types can I sell? =
Any file type can be sold using Easy Digital Downloads. You can sell .PDF, .DOC, .MP3, .MOV, .EPUB, .PSD, .MP4, .JPG, or any other extension which exists. On the product creation form, there is a file upload field which will accept any file type. Whatever file is uploaded to that field is the file customers will receive instantly when they complete a purchase.
= Is an SSL certificate required to sell digital products? =
Easy Digital Downloads can function without an SSL certificate just fine, making it easy to set up in a testing or development environment. We still strongly recommend you have an SSL certificate for your live store, both for security and for the peace of mind of your customers. [Documentation here](http://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/994-how-to-set-up-ssl?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=faq_tab&utm_content=documentation&utm_campaign=readme)
= What themes work with Easy Digital Downloads? =
Any properly written theme will work with Easy Digital Downloads.
That said, we have a nice collection of free themes that come with support for Easy Digital Downloads, requiring much less design work on the part of the store owner.
[See the free themes here.](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/themes/?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=faq_tab&utm_term=free_themes&utm_content=faqs&utm_campaign=readme)
= Is there a sample import file I can use to setup a demo store? =
Yes! Simply go to Tools > Import and install the WordPress Importer, then navigate to wp-content/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/assets/ and select the sample-products-import.xml file. This will create several sample products and plugin pages for you.
= Can I import all the products from my existing store into EDD? =
Yes! We do have a [basic import solution](http://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/216-can-i-import-and-export-products?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=faq_tab&utm_term=import_addon&utm_content=faqs&utm_campaign=readme) that imports a CSV file, so if you can get your data into the appropriate format then we can import it.

[PDF Invoices](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/pdf-invoices/?utm_source=pdf-invoices&utm_medium=faq_tab&utm_content=pdf-invoices&utm_campaign=readme)

Yes, through the use of our commercial addon called [Recurring Payments](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/recurring-payments/?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=faq_tab&utm_term=recurring_addon&utm_content=faqs&utm_campaign=readme). [Full documentation here](http://docs.easydigitaldownloads.com/article/1142-recurring-payments---overview?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=faq_tab&utm_term=recurring_addon&utm_content=faqs&utm_campaign=readme).
