Verified Downloads is a solution for Envato authors. With this plugin only your Envato customers (and nobody else) can download files from your website. People must enter Item Purchase Code, received with purchased Envato item, to get the download link. The link is encrypted and valid limited period of time to avoid its sharing over Internet. As an administrator you can decide either users must purchse certain Envato item to have a chance to download the file (for example, before downloading file ”#1”, user must buy item A from Envato), or the file is available for all of your Envato customers. Use Verified Downloads to distribute free stuff (such as add-ons, bonuses, gifts, patches, etc.) among your customers. It will stimulate people to purchase your items from Envato.
