How to create a Downloadable product in Magento 2

A downloadable product can be everything that you can deliver as a file, such as an eBook, music, video, software application, or update. You can offer an album for sale and sell each song separately. You can also use a downloadable product to give an electronic version of your product catalog.

Because the actual download is not accessible until after the purchase, you can provide samples, such as a selected from a book, a clip from an audio file, or a trailer from a video that the customer can see before purchasing the product. The files that you make accessible for download can be either uploaded to your server or from a different server.

Downloadable products can be configured to require that the customer log in to an account to accept the link or can be sent by email and shared with others. The status of the order before the download becomes accessible, default values and other delivery options are set in the configuration.
