If you’re not familiar with Easy Digital Downloads, it’s a WordPress plugin that helps you sell digital products from your website. It’s loved by customers and developers alike because of its simple setup options and selection of powerful features.
Astra is a powerful WordPress theme that makes it easy to customize the look and feel of your website. With Astra, you get access to tons of different layout options and widgets, so you can create a site that perfectly matches your brand.
So, What’s in It for You?
Wouldn’t it be convenient if you could customize the look of your online store from the same place as your theme? That’s what Astra + EDD aims to bring to you!
Welcome, a full-fledged Easy Digital Downloads Module, right within Astra!
Let us show you some of the awesome new theme settings that will make customizing your store a breeze!
1. Product Archive Settings
Why keep switching between Easy Digital Downloads settings and Astra to customize the look and feel of your store?
Astra’s new Product Archive Settings lets you customize the number of columns in your product grids and what information about your products should be displayed.
You can even change the add to cart button text from this section!
If you have products with multiple options in colors, sizes, or other customization options, the theme customizer lets you choose how the options look on the archive page. The settings can be displayed as options or as a button that takes users to the product page.
2. Product Archive Customization in Astra Pro
The Easy Digital Downloads module in Astra Pro offers even more customization right from the theme customizer.
Product Styling
You don’t have to play around with code to get the colors just right. Astra’s EDD settings let you color and stylize your digital products the way you like, without any fuss!
Cart Icon Settings
Don’t like the boring old cart icon? Switch it up! There are multiple icons and styles to play within the EDD settings.
Just go to Customize > Easy Digital Downloads > General and play around with the settings until you get the look you desire!
3. Single Product Page
Navigation buttons on product pages are usually unnecessary. We want customers who land on your product pages to stay focused on the product itself and not get distracted.
But it may make sense for digital products to allow scrolling through the different pages. That’s why Easy Digital Downloads offers product navigation by default.
If you wish to switch it off, simply go to the Single Product Page settings and disable it with a single click!
There are far more options in the Astra Pro version for customization of single product pages.
Let’s take a look at them.
4. Single Product Customization in Astra Pro
All your product page styles are editable from within the Astra theme customizer with Astra Pro.

The single product settings allow you to disable the product navigation and the add to cart button with just a switch!
