Show download links on Shopify’s thank-you page (the page customers see right after checkout) and the Order Status page (the page customers reach from order emails). Customers click and download — no waiting for the email, no logging into customer accounts. Most stores enable this even if they also use email delivery, as a faster path.

Available on the Basic plan and higher. Setup is via Shopify’s checkout customizer (no theme code). Works with Shopify’s checkout extensibility, which all stores should now be on.

## When you’d use this

- Want customers to access downloads instantly after paying, without waiting for an email.
- Email deliverability has been spotty and you want a backup access surface.
- Customers frequently re-share the order status URL (e.g., for re-downloading on another device) and you want the page to support that.
- Pairs naturally with the [order confirmation email integration](/docs/order-confirmation-downloads/).

## How to enable

1. Shopify admin → **Settings** → **Customer accounts**.
2. Click **Customize**, then **Customize** again on your active configuration.
3. Use the page selector at the top to switch between **Thank you**, **Orders**, and **Order status**. Each gets its own Fileflare block.
4. Click **Apps** in the top-left settings, then add the Fileflare app block on each page.
5. Save.

In Fileflare → **Settings** → **Download delivery** → **Download settings**, pick how the box renders on these pages:

- **Default (button + page):** shows a button on the thank-you page that opens a Fileflare download page listing each file. Supports streaming, limit counters, and full styling.
- **Simple (bullet list):** shows a list of direct download links inline. No streaming, no limit counter, but one less click.

- On the thank-you page (right after checkout): a download button or list, depending on your display style.
- On the Order Status page (linked from order emails): same thing.
- On the Orders page in customer accounts: same thing (if you’ve enabled customer account downloads too).

![Fileflare download link rendering on the Order Status page](https://fileflare.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/shopify-order-page-1024x747.png)    ## Common issues

- **Block isn’t appearing on the page** — confirm you added it via the right page selector (Thank you vs Orders vs Order status — they’re separate). Each page gets its own block.
- **Block appears but no downloads show** — the order needs to be in **Paid** status and the products on the order need assets attached in Fileflare.
- **Customer can’t find the download box on the thank-you page** — depending on your checkout extensibility config, the block placement matters. Drag it to a more prominent spot in the customizer.
- **Looks broken on mobile** — Shopify’s checkout extensibility renders responsive by default, but if you’ve added other custom blocks, layout conflicts can happen. Test the block in isolation.
