Easy Digital Downloads – Frontend Submissions

Easy Digital Downloads – Frontend Submissions extends Easy Digital Downloads by transforming a standard digital store into a multi-vendor marketplace. Instead of limiting product creation to administrators, this extension allows external users (vendors) to submit and manage their own digital products directly from the frontend.

With this extension, users can register as vendors through a frontend form. Once approved, they gain access to a dedicated vendor dashboard. From this dashboard, vendors can create products, edit listings, track orders, and monitor earnings without accessing the WordPress admin panel.

In addition, the plugin includes customizable submission forms built with a drag-and-drop interface. Therefore, store owners can control what information vendors provide when submitting products, including pricing, descriptions, and file uploads.

Furthermore, all submissions can be moderated before publication. As a result, administrators can review vendors and products to maintain quality standards across the marketplace. The extension also supports commission tracking when paired with the appropriate add-on, enabling revenue sharing between the store owner and vendors.

Overall, this tool is suitable for building digital marketplaces where multiple creators contribute and sell products within a unified platform.
