How To Add A PDF To Shopify
Last modified: December 2, 2021
If you’re looking to add a PDF to your store, either for reference for your customers or to add a digital download, then you can easily do it without installing an app.
To do this, you need to be in your files page. Here are the instructions to add a PDF to your Shopify site.
Step 1 - Login
Login to your Shopify admin page using your store credentials.
Step 2 – Files Page
From your admin page go to the ‘Settings’ page and then ‘Files’.
Step 3 – Upload
Now you can click on the ‘Upload Files’ option and then select one or more files to upload. When you’ve selected all the files that you would like to upload, then click on the ‘Open’ option.
And then you’ve added your PDF to your website.
Getting Others To Download The PDF
If you want someone to download the PDF, then you can add a link into any page on your Shopify store that allows your visitors to download the document. Follow these instructions to do that.
Step 1 - Login
Login to your Shopify admin page using your store credentials.
Step 2 – Files Page
From your admin page go to the ‘Settings’ page and then ‘Files’.
Step 3 – File URL
Now find the file in the list of files on the page, and copy the URL you would like to link to.
Step 4 – Go To Download Location
Now go to the download location that you would like to insert the link into. This could be a product, collection, page or blog post. You can also add the link to a new page. When you’ve found the page/article/product/collection that is to have the link, go inside to the editor.
Final Word: How To Add A PDF To Shopify
Adding a PDF to Shopify is really easy. It doesn’t take much effort and the added content can be useful for purchasing decisions or customer support in the future. If you want to sell PDFs as a product, then you should consider using an app like Digital Downloads, that allows you to sell files on your store with ease.
And you can also sell other file formats to like images, videos, music and more using the same process through your Shopify store.
