03 / Website use cases
Where to use product download expiry note
WooCommerce lets you make download links expire a set number of days after purchase, but the product page never tells buyers, so they find out only when a link stops working. Product download expiry note reads the product's Download expiry and states it in your own wording, with separate text for downloads that never expire.
Time-limited licences
State how long a download stays available before it must be bought again.
Lifetime access
Reassure buyers that their download links never expire.

Product download expiry note compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor and WooCommerce.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot product download expiry note
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is nothing shown?
The product is not downloadable or not a simple product, or its downloads never expire and the No expiry text is empty. The editor explains which.
Why does a variable product show nothing?
Variable products set download expiry per variation, which this widget does not read.
Why does it say the links never expire?
The product's Download expiry field is blank. Enter a number of days to set one.
Why do I see “30 days” in the editor of my product template?
The template has no product while editing, so a sample shows your styling. On a product page it shows that product's setting.
Product download expiry note plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor and WooCommerce.
When does the expiry period start?
WooCommerce counts it from when download access is granted, normally when the order is paid.
Does it change the expiry?
No. It only reads the product's Download expiry setting.
Is it accessible?
