Sell digital goods in PrestaShop with software metadata, licenses, domains and downloads
Digital Revolution is a module for PrestaShop stores that turns software into licensed digital products: every purchased unit receives its own licence, included support and a protected download prepared for the buyer's shop. Setup consists of linking a catalogue product and uploading its release; the default licence, domain and support rules are ready.
A software sale needs to preserve ownership after payment. The order records who bought each unit, which shop uses it, which releases belong to it and when support applies. Development and staging subdomains below the licensed production domain use the same licence without consuming another domain slot.
Digital Revolution is quick to launch and detailed to configure. You choose licence periods, the number of production domains, included and paid support, optional installation or custom work, ordering status, live demo, downloadable trial and release presentation for each product. The product page, cart, order, delivery and customer account then use the same choices.
The live-demo launcher opens in a new browser tab, and the finished storefront and administration open from separate links there. In the customer account, the buyer assigns shops, collects eligible releases, reviews downloads, manages support and services, and opens tickets linked to the purchased licence.
The result is more paid installations, fewer manual deliveries, controlled product trials and continuing revenue from support and services. Buyers keep a clear record of what they own, while the seller keeps delivery and after-sales work in one operation.
Summary of what the module offers
Digital Revolution turns PrestaShop into a system for selling software where every purchased unit becomes a separate licence and a protected release for its assigned shop. Products, ownership, delivery and after-sales work remain connected from the product page to the customer account.
- The complete operation: one catalogue joins products, releases, licences, demos, support and services.
- Ownership after payment: each unit receives its own licence, domain slot and traceable delivery.
- Real testing before purchase: live demo shops and downloadable trials present the working product.
- Customer self-service: shops, eligible releases, downloads, demos and support stay in one account.
- Support as revenue: included periods, paid extensions, recurring plans, services and tickets remain tied to the licence.
- Merchant control: dedicated screens cover the catalogue, fulfilment, activity and item-level ownership inside product packs.
Setup takes two actions: linking a PrestaShop product and uploading its release. Detailed rules for licences, domains, demonstrations, support and services are ready when the catalogue needs them.
How does each sale remain tied to its owner and shop?
A completed order creates one licence for every purchased unit and records the included support period. The buyer assigns the production shop that uses the licence, then downloads the eligible release prepared for that domain. A development, staging or test subdomain directly below it uses the same licence without taking another domain slot.
The delivered archive carries the licence, assigned domain and hidden marks identifying its origin. Before delivery, Digital Revolution checks ownership, shop assignment, release eligibility and the remaining download allowance. The installed product also verifies its right to run, so forwarding the archive to another business does not create another valid installation.
Where does the buyer test the product?
You choose an instant live demo, a downloadable trial or both for each product. The live-demo button opens the launcher in a new browser tab. Once the temporary shop is ready, separate links open its storefront and administration in new tabs. The downloadable trial is prepared for the selected domain and delivered as a file.
Each request stays connected to the product, domain and earlier attempts. Repeated requests and blocked addresses stop before another copy is prepared, while the demo overview records which products people launch and request. The working product becomes part of the sales path without turning trials into uncontrolled distribution.
What does the buyer manage after payment?
The order creates the licences, included support rights and purchased services. The customer account then shows products, licences, registered shops, eligible releases, downloads, demonstrations, tickets and recurring support. The purchase remains a durable ownership record instead of disappearing into an old message with a link.
The buyer assigns and removes shops within the purchased allowance, returns for later releases and reviews download history in the same workspace. Digital Revolution checks ownership, selected shop and support status again before preparing a protected download. Routine questions about the current file, registered domain or active support are answered inside the account.
How does support become continuing revenue?
Each digital product carries an included support period, paid extensions and optional services such as installation or custom work. Those choices enter the cart and order with their own prices. A ticket remains attached to the licence and purchase, together with the conversation, files and prepared replies, so the team starts with verified entitlement and useful context.
Stripe handles card payment and recurring billing for auto-renewing support. Digital Revolution records the plan, paid period and resulting support right, then reflects cancellation, resumption and renewal in the customer account. Stripe processes the money; the module connects each payment to the correct licence and support history.
What does the merchant control in one place?
Dedicated areas organise the digital catalogue, releases and services; licences, domains and installations; demo requests; support plans and recurring payments; downloads, validation history, demo activity, popularity and product readiness. You choose the linked PrestaShop item, releases, licence periods, domain count, support choices, services, demo modes, ordering status and customer presentation for every product.
Digital Revolution carries those choices through the product page, cart, order and customer account. Consent-based remote assistance keeps an action history for support work, while installation and popularity records show which products are active. A product pack follows the same ownership model at item level: every included product receives its own licence and support right while the buyer keeps one coherent order and account.

Works Well With Digital Revolution
Modules our team genuinely pairs with this one, and exactly why each belongs in the same setup.
Complement
Digital Revolution lets a store sell modules, themes, software and SaaS-style access with versions, licence control, protected downloads and a customer portal, often to professional and agency buyers. Those B2B customers frequently expect to pay on invoice terms rather than upfront, which is a checkout-and-credit matter the digital delivery module does not address.
B2B Deferred Payment Terms covers that separately. It adds a controlled pay-later option for logged-in customers whose groups have active terms and whose carts stay within configured credit rules, seeding common terms such as Due on Receipt, Net 15, Net 30 and Net 60. It handles how business buyers pay; Digital Revolution handles what they receive and how access is controlled.
Used alongside each other they suit a store selling digital goods to businesses: one delivers and licenses the product properly, the other lets approved business customers buy on familiar terms. The tools stay independent, but together they remove a common blocker for B2B digital sales without turning pay-later into a manual email process.
Workflow
A store running Digital Revolution sells licensed digital products, versions, downloads, demos, support access and subscriptions, which generates orders and invoices that an agency or owner needs to account for properly. Digital Revolution focuses on delivery and licence control, not on the broader finance picture of invoices, VAT, costs and exports.
Financial Revolution is the separate finance workflow for that. It connects native invoices, corrections, proformas, expenses, VAT validation, tax reports, partners, numbering, templates and accounting exports in a Back Office finance menu, helping owners see more than turnover. It manages the financial documents and reporting; Digital Revolution manages the digital product and its delivery.
Used together they cover product and money as distinct tools: one runs the licensed digital catalogue and customer portal, the other organises the invoicing, VAT and accounting work the resulting orders create. There is no pipeline between them beyond each doing its own job, but for a store selling software the pair keeps delivery and finance both properly handled.
Complement
Digital Revolution already gives buyers of modules, themes and software a portal with versions, demos and support access, so a store delivering digital goods has a structured relationship with its customers. What it does not provide is a full help desk where pre-sale and post-sale questions become tracked tickets with order context.
Support Revolution covers that separately. Logged-in customers can open tickets and guest ticket creation can be enabled, while staff manage ticket history, customer identity and order-related issues close to the data that matters. It owns the support conversation; Digital Revolution owns the product, licensing and delivery.
Run side by side they fit a digital store well as complementary tools: the digital module handles entitlements and downloads, the support module handles the questions those products generate, from licence queries to compatibility. Customers get both reliable delivery and a documented place to be helped, without either tool depending on the other to do its part.
Complement
Selling digital products through Digital Revolution still produces normal PrestaShop orders, which support staff and bookkeeping reference constantly when handling licences, renewals and queries. When those orders carry default opaque references, identifying and quoting them in support and accounting for a software store is slower than it needs to be.
Custom Order Numbering addresses that on its own, replacing random references with structured, readable ones built from dates, counters, shop or customer context, prefixes and suffixes, previewed in a format builder before a counter is consumed. It only changes the reference an order carries; it has no role in digital delivery.
Used together they make a digital store's orders easier to live with: Digital Revolution delivers and licenses the product, while the numbering module ensures every related order is instantly recognisable to staff and finance. The two never share data, but the cleaner references reduce friction whenever a digital order has to be found, quoted or reconciled.
