MemberI sell a mixture of eBooks and memberships. Therefore I’d like the downloadable product link and associated instructions to only be shown when a customer has purchased an eBook. I cut/paste the link and instructions from the “Buyer Email Body” into the “Instructions for Buyer” area. I then added {product_specific_instructions} into the “Buyer Email Body” and purchased one of my eBooks.
The text of the product specific instructions load correctly *except* the product download link was showing {product_link} instead of the download link. Yet when this same text is contained within the “Buyer Email Body” it loaded correctly, including the URL link. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

ParticipantThe email tags are only usable inside the email body field (you cannot use it anywhere else).

MemberI too think this would be a GREAT way of making buyer emails more relevant to the product, if selling a variety of different types of products on the site.
I have been trying to customize buyer emails for specific of types products, mainly downloadable and non-downloadable. Seems hard to use {product_specific_instructions} tag to achieve this as it repeats for every similar type of product purchased. Something like a {category specific instruction} would make this possible.
Another improvement would be for the {product_link} email tag to show nothing or hide the tag, if there is no downloadable content, rather than showing
product name – This product does not have any downloadable content
It seems messy and unnecessary for the customer to see that especially if you have already used the {product_details} or {product_name} email tags.
thanks for a great plugin!

ParticipantAdded the following email tag in the plugin. Please get a new build of eStore from here if you want to use it:

The following email tag only lists the download links for digital items.
{product_link_digital_items_only}

MemberThanks alot for this solution!!
I think it goes along way to tidying up the buyer email. I have not implemented yet as I am waiting for an appropriate time to update my site, but am sure it will work perfectly as the rest of the plugin does.
I would still love to see a {category specific instruction} and/or the ability to use email tags inside the {product_specific_instructions} one day!
Cheers
