Powerful built-in email marketing
Easy Digital Downloads is a great plugin for selling downloads, but for email marketing you'll need a separate service like Kit or Mailchimp connected through an extension. Sellfy has email marketing built in on every plan: collect subscribers, send campaigns and manage everything from the same dashboard as your store, with 2,000 to 50,000 email credits a month depending on your plan.
Upsell with Sellfy
Easy Digital Downloads offers upsells and cross-sells through an extension that needs a paid license. Sellfy's Business plan includes upsells, cart abandonment emails and an affiliate program out of the box, with nothing extra to install, license or keep updated. Sign up and try it out!
Fully hosted storefront
Should you go with a hosted storefront or create one on your website? Why not both! Although Easy Digital Downloads offers powerful functionality, they're limited to WordPress. With Sellfy, you can create your own custom Sellfy storefront as well as embed your eCommerce functionality on your website!

How to switch from Easy Digital Downloads to Sellfy
Move your store in six steps. Your WordPress site stays yours, and EDD keeps selling until your Sellfy store is ready.
1. Export your products, customers and orders
In WordPress, go to Downloads > Reports > Export and download CSVs of your products, customers and orders. The product export includes titles, descriptions, prices and file links.
2. Copy your product files
EDD keeps your files in the wp-content/uploads/edd folder on your web host. Download that folder through SFTP or your host's file manager so every file is ready to upload.
3. Set up your Sellfy store
Start a 14-day free trial, no credit card needed. You get a hosted store with checkout, security and updates handled for you, so there's no plugin to maintain.
4. Add your products, or let AI do it
Copy your product details from the EDD export and upload your files. Or give that CSV to Claude or ChatGPT and let it create the drafts through Sellfy's MCP server.
5. Import your email list
EDD's customer export doesn't record email consent, so keep only buyers who agreed to hear from you. On a paid plan, upload them as a one-column CSV under Email marketing > Import.
6. Add Sellfy to WordPress, then retire EDD
Embed Sellfy buy buttons or your whole store on your WordPress pages and connect PayPal or Stripe. Deactivate EDD once past buyers have their files, and leave "Remove Data on Uninstall" off.
