Description
Stop chasing customers for files. Let them upload everything you need — right on the product page.
File Uploads Addon for WooCommerce adds a file upload field to your WooCommerce product pages so customers can attach images, documents, or any files you need to fulfill their order — all before they even hit the cart.
No more back-and-forth emails. No delayed orders. No missing artwork.
The uploaded file travels with the order — visible in the cart, on the checkout page, and right inside the WooCommerce order details screen for you or your shop manager to action immediately.
🛍️ Who Is This For?
This plugin is built for any WooCommerce store where fulfilling an order depends on something the customer needs to provide. If you’ve ever had to email a customer after they ordered to ask for a file, this plugin is for you.
