I have lots of PDF documents which people are interested in paying for on my WordPress site. The problem is that I don't know how to set up a file download page on my site so that when one pays the required amount, they will be able to download the content. Currently I am using PayHip but they have a processing fee which I am trying to avoid. Any clue?

I've seen a lot of Wordpress sites selling ebooks using https://woocommerce.com/ Could that work for you?

Oh, I just checked woocommerce and saw it supports downloadables. I will give it a try and see what happens

If you want to sell your PDFs directly from WordPress without paying a huge fee, you can use plugins like Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce. These give you the option to set up a product page and if you connect it to PayPal or Stripe, when people pay they get a download link automatically. It’s an easy way to control your business without relying on an external platform.

All you need to do is install the plugin, then upload your files and set a price. After payment, the system sends the download link to the customer. There is a Chinese proverb that says a small stone can start a big river. This means that starting with a small setup can grow into a large profitable business.

If you want to focus on just downloads, easy digital downloads is another great plugin
