Delay Download Access

Hi,

We’re taking preorders for a physical product on our site that also comes with downloadable files.

We want to be able to delay the display of the downloadable items until the physical product is dispatched.

Does anyone know how can I delay the display of downloadable woocommerce products from the appearing in the My Account section under Downloads?

Happy to work with any solutions (i.e code, plugins etc)…

Thanks!

AFX

So the download files are only displayed in My Account after the physical product status has been changed to completed?

How would the download products be related to the physical product?

This is for a personal project I’m involved in and the product is a vinyl record with downloadable version available as a digital download. As we’re taking pre-orders for the product we can’t have the downloadable files being accessible before the release date of the physical product.

For usability we want to continue using the Downloads section in the My Account section to display the downloadable product but not until a specific date.

I took a look at the group bundle but I don’t think this will be able to delay the downloads from being visible.

Thanks for your help so far, do you have any further suggestions?

So it seems like the hook you should be able to use is

woocommerce_order_status_changed

So you modify the template for downloads in My Account, so it did display a message.

Download will not work till the vinyl record has shipped, please check your email for the notification that it has shipping and check back then.

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/master/templates/myaccount/downloads.php

Then you could possibly use this action woocommerce_grant_product_download_access

Sorry I could not help you more.
