Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Ebook Store
Upload your book under Ebook Store > Add New, set a price and a cover, and save. The plugin hands you a shortcode; paste it into any post or page and that page becomes an order form with a checkout. Buyers land on a thank-you page with their download links and get an optional delivery email. The free version does all of this with PayPal built in — no code and no separate storefront.
The free version is a complete store: sell ebooks and digital downloads in PDF, take payment with PayPal, and deliver by download, email or in-browser reading — with a store-readiness panel that walks you through setup. Ebook Store Pro adds ebook watermarking and PDF DRM, ePub DRM (social DRM), leaked-copy traceability with a QR verification page, more formats (ePub, Mobi, TXT, ZIP, MP3, MP4), the Stripe and Adyen gateways, WooCommerce integration, a bulk importer, automatic customer accounts, Kindle delivery and more. Pro only adds capabilities — it never disables anything the free version does.
PayPal is built into the free version (PayPal balance, card, eCheck and bank transfer), so you can start taking money right away. Ebook Store Pro adds Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Klarna, SEPA and more) and Adyen, and can hand checkout to WooCommerce so the gateways you run there work too.
An ePub can't be password-locked without stopping e-readers from opening it, so Ebook Store Pro uses social DRM instead. It stamps each buyer's identity into the book's pages and its hidden metadata, with an optional QR verification code, and you choose where it goes — the opening page, the start of every chapter, or a licence page at the end. The delivered file stays a fully valid ePub that opens in Apple Books, Kindle, Kobo and calibre, with no apps and no logins, and it works in any language.
With Ebook Store Pro you can encrypt each purchased PDF, set an open password (fixed, random per order, the buyer's own email, or open-but-restricted), and disable printing, copying, editing and annotations. That's full PDF DRM, plus a per-buyer watermark and QR code stamped on every page. It's all on the PDF protection tab in settings, and a Test button lets you preview the exact protected file first.
Yes, when you sell with Pro. Every PDF and ePub you deliver is uniquely tied to its order and carries the buyer's name, email and order number. Scan the copy's QR code and the public verification page shows the order it was licensed to, so a leaked file points straight back to who shared it. Social DRM deters casual sharing and traces leaks — it's honest deterrence, not an unbreakable lock, and it won't stop a determined pirate.
No. A watermarked ePub stays a valid file that opens everywhere, and a protected PDF still opens for the buyer. Protection never restricts the reader beyond the print and copy limits you choose; files that already carry DRM or font obfuscation are passed through untouched; and a paid download is never blocked — if watermarking can't run for any reason, the buyer still gets their file. You can preview the exact protected file a buyer receives with the Test button before you ever sell it.
No — not anymore. Older versions relied on PHP's GD extension, but the watermarking engine was rebuilt on TCPDF, which removed that requirement. Buyer watermarks and QR codes now print in any language, including Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic with correct right-to-left ordering, on far more hosts, with no GD needed. (If you read otherwise in older documentation, that note is out of date.)
Yes, with Ebook Store Pro. Link an ebook to a WooCommerce product and it works with the cart, variable products and High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). Buyers see their downloads on the order confirmation page, and the same watermarking and delivery apply.
Yes, and it's in the free version. You can deliver a book as an in-browser read instead of, or as well as, a download — handy when you'd rather the file didn't leave your site at all.
