To Jennifer Moss Your problem is not a problem. I can’t give you his web address, but google “Woocommerce: How to Protect Your Digital Downloads” by WPTuts. This simple solution will work whether you are using Woocommerce or not. Note to site: I just tried to import this into my wordpress/elementor site and it snarled the header bar instantly. The support team at my host site cleaned it up and advised me to tell you: If you clone the add elementor (activity button) method used by “Download Button for Elementor” (which is a customized widget for Elementor Page Builder) my problem would not have happened –they think. I think since so many developers are now using Elementor this would gather support for your own plugin.

This works in the sense that it allows you to pay by STRIPE and gives buyer a download link. HOWEVER the LINK itself is not protected. So once user has the link he/she can share it with anybody. ANYONE who has the link can download the file for free. So this is basically useless.
