Clearer digital delivery,
one small system at a time.

Reduce “Where is my download?” messages

A practical handoff pattern that answers the buyer’s first three questions before they ask.

The Etsy digital file limits checklist

03

Name files so buyers can find the right one

Ship product updates without losing the trail

Use versions, checksums, and plain-language change notes to make every release auditable.

05

Write a download FAQ that actually helps

Cover access, ZIP files, devices, printing, and contact details without overwhelming customers.

06

Build a simple release manifest

A compact record of every file, version, size, checksum, license, and compatibility note.

07

Verify a public download with SHA-256
