Description
The Amazon S3 Storage plugin for WooCommerce enables online stores to serve digital products by offloading file storage and delivery to the Amazon AWS S3 cloud service. By integrating your WooCommerce store with Amazon S3, this plugin allows you to store and manage large digital files such as PDFs, videos, software, and media packs in scalable and reliable cloud storage, freeing up server resources and improving download speeds for customers.
The plugin operates fully automated by letting you specify S3 bucket names and file paths via shortcodes, which are then translated into secure, time-limited URLs for file downloads after purchase. See more details about working with Amazon S3 buckets. It supports multiple S3 buckets per product and allows mixing local and S3 file storage on the same product. This flexibility ensures fast, secure delivery of digital goods, even under high load, while protecting files with signed URLs that expire to prevent unauthorized access.
Amazon S3 Storage is designed for digital stores selling downloadable products like online courses, software, memberships, or large media files. It simplifies file management from the WordPress dashboard, supports variable and bundled products, and enhances scalability and reliability compared to default WooCommerce file delivery, making it an efficient solution to improve customer experience and server performance.
