HOW TO USE WUFOO FOR SELLING DIGITAL GOODS:

• Control the look and feel of your payment forms.
• Customize functionality using logic and branching.
• Integrate Wufoo into your existing CMS.
• Setup instant notifications.
• Collect online payments for your digital sales.

The marketplace has changed. Digital downloads can drive a business, and you can forego a brick-and-mortar storefront if you so choose. When your business depends on digital downloads–such as white papers, eBooks, videos, or music–then finding the right ecommerce partner is as essential to building your business as the content itself.

Wufoo provides snazzy forms to make downloads easy, but we also have a whole lot of features you may not be familiar with. For example, did you know that Wufoo can send you instant notifications anytime someone downloads content from you? Or, did you know that with Wufoo’s advanced analytics features, you can closely follow your conversion rates? Keep reading to learn about these features, plus many more, that make running an eCommerce business a breeze.

Your brand, your style

When content downloads drive your business, you for sure want your own brand to shine through. On any form that users land on, people should see consistency in your look. We get this. To make sure that your brand is on every form you create through Wufoo, we’ve developed a Theme Gallery, which helps you create stunning designs that match your organization’s identity. Apply your designs across every download and form, including payment forms, reports, and even invoices.

Use logic and branching for ultimate customization

Want to know a secret to make your content options super appealing to customers? Make it as custom as possible. People like feeling as if something was created just for them, and with Wufoo’s Rule Builder, you can specify logic to personalize forms, based on the user. For example, you can set it up to show and hide fields, skip pages, or email someone based on the selection the person makes as they’re filling out your form.

Integrate Wufoo into your content management system (CMS)

We’re going to go out on a limb here and bet that if your site has a lot of content–and it contains content that you update frequently–you use some version of a content management system (CMS) to make your life easier. We love a good CMS. In fact, we love them so much, that we’ve integrated with some of the web’s most popular systems, including
WordPress, Confluence, WebMatrix, AllYou, CakeFoo, Drofoo, and Weever. To get set up, simply use our embed code on any CMS page, and you’ll be integrated.

Never miss a lead again

In the world of lead generation, time is of the essence. Receive an instant notification as soon as someone takes an action on your website. You can choose your preferred method of notification, such as emails, texts, or a secure RSS feed. Once you are notified, you can follow up with the lead immediately. Keep track of what’s happening. In real time.

Speaking of which, how are your forms performing?

You’ll get notified as soon as someone takes action on a form, but give yourself the full picture of your overall campaign goals by using Wufoo’s form analytics. You’ll be able to see pageviews, conversion rates, error rates, and submission times. Use this data to tweak your layouts, adjust your online advertising strategy, or even to do A/B split testing. Maximize your campaigns with the power of data.

Say goodbye to spam with smart captcha

Protect the integrity of your data, and spare your inbox from needless Spam inquiries, by embedding our Smart Captcha form. Our form is above-average smart; not only does it require a captcha test, but it will insert a captcha field if it detects abusive behavior.

And finally, collect payments for those downloads

What’s that, you say? You use your digital ecommerce site to help pay your rent? Then surely, collecting payments online is of vital importance to you. For online purchases and mobile commerce, we partner with some of the internet’s most beloved payment processors, like Stripe, PayPal, and Braintree. So whether your site offers music, apps, videos, shows, songs, or print content for download, you’ll never have to break a sweat about getting paid for the content you sell.
