Managing Readme's

A Readme file can be associated to Digital Goods in the store.  This allows you to provide your customer some additional information about each download. The Readme will appear alongside the link for the download file. It will also appear during the checkout process, in the basket, and on the invoice page.

Using the menu, go to Catalog > Digital Goods > Readme's to view a page similar to the one shown below.


The Readme management page displays the name of each Readme file.  

In the Digital Goods column, a counter indicates the number of digital products that are associated to the Readme.  You need to associate digital goods to the Readme in order to see the Readme link during checkout.

To change the name of a Readme, click on the Edit button from the Action column.  

Click the Delete button to delete a Readme and any digital product associations.
