This tutorial will provide the steps to attach one or more digital objects to a digital product. Then, when a customer purchases the product, they will gain access to download all of the objects assigned to that product.
key concept Digital Products are the products customers purchase in the store and are created using the Product Editor. Digital products are not the actual file(s) the customers download; those are known in Modular Merchant terminology as Digital Objects. The digital objects that have been assigned to the digital products will be available for customers to access after their orders have been completed. Each digital product can have any number of digital objects assigned to it.
Step 1: Create the Digital Objects
First, create the digital objects. These are the files and/or websites that the customer will gain access to after they have purchased the product.
