Version 1.0.5 has just been released. It is available to download from the WordPress plugin repository and your WordPress dashboards. There are a lot of updates included in version 1.0.5, but most important is the new variable pricing system. This new option gives you the ability to set multiple price variations for a single digital product, much like you would have variations for physical products.
The variable pricing system is very simple to use, just check the box that says “Check this to enable variable pricing”. Once checked, the variable pricing option will appear. You can add as many pricing options as you want.
A great example of the variable pricing option can be seen at https://themethrift.com/.
Another of the major updates in v1.0.5 is the introduction of free downloads. Any download set with a price of zero, will be considered free. When a user checks out, if the total amount in their shopping cart is 0, they will bypass all payment gateways and only be asked to enter their name and email.
