Currency Position
This allows you to choose to put the currency sign before or after the amount, like this:
$10 or 10$
Separators
You have the option of choosing what character to use for both the thousands and decimal characters.
Pages
EDD uses 4 different pages to process different parts of the transaction process. When you install EDD it creates them for you, but you can change them on the General Settings page. Keep in mind these are simply plain WordPress Pages with specific shortcodes in them. If you want something other than the default, simply create it, put the shortcode on it, and choose it from the General Settings page.
Checkout Page
This is the checkout page where buyers will complete their purchases. The [download_checkout] short code must be on this page.
Success Page
This is the page buyers are sent to after completing their purchases. The [edd_receipt] short code should be on this page.
Failed Transaction Page
This is the page buyers are sent to if their transaction is cancelled or fails
Purchase History Page
This page shows a complete purchase history for the current user, including download links. This page requires either the [purchase_history] OR [download_history] shortcode.
Login Redirect Page
This option provides a list of existing Pages. A chosen page becomes the destination after a user logs in using a form created by [edd_login].
API
Easy Digital Downloads has an API which can return JSON or XML data. This data is perfect for making mobile apps and rendering data on other sites. For more information check out the API Documentation.
Allow User Keys
By default no API keys exist, and only users with the proper privileges may create keys. Turning on “Allow User Keys” makes it so any user may create keys via the user profile on your account page. When a key is created, keys are listed in Downloads > Tools > API Keys and may be revoked by an administrator.
Tracking
Turning on usage tracking helps us understand how people use EDD, and thereby makes it easier for us to make the software better. Here is what we track.
