Product Download Not Starting
-
Hi,
When I test purchasing a digital product that has a download on my website, the download never starts when I click the link under “Download” in the email I recieve. The download does start, when I copy the link in a new browser tab. I am using Google Chrome. I have tried on my phone and it does work on there aswell. The file download method I have selected is “Force downloads”. I have tried “Redirect only” method, and that one does work also, but I don’t want to use it because of security reasons.
Please help!

Hi there ??
It sounds like this issue only happens in Chrome, am I correct? If so, could you please try on another browser like firefox, safari, edge, and let me know what happens?
Hi @gabrielfuentes,
In microsoft edge the download also works normally.
It’s still not working, need support
Apologies for the delay!
That’s strange. It sounds like that it could be that you are using a Google Chrome browser extension that may be causing some issues when downloading it.
Could you please disable all the extensions (In case that you have any) and then try to download the file again? Also, please try again while using Incognito mode on Google Chrome
Cheers!
No worries @gabrielfuentes thanks for getting back to me. I have disabled all my browser extensions and tried again but it’s still not starting.
Thank you for testing! By any chance does it works on Firefox?
Let’s check if there is an error on the WooCommerce Logs. So please, provide us the following:
- System Status: You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select “Get system report” and then “Copy for support”. Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response.
- Error log: share a copy of the fatal error log found under WooCommerce > System Status > Logs (if available)
Thanks in advance!

There are no fatal errors in logs
I think I found the problem and why the downloads aren’t working. I am developing this website on a subdomain which doesnt have SSL certificate! I tested on a domain that has one and the download works on that one.
Hi @svw055 ??
I’m glad to hear that you could find a solution! Could you please confirm that it is working okay for you now?
Thank you!
We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
