Today we are excited to introduce a more comprehensive set of purchase options. To complement our All Access Pass, three new “Pass” options are now available for extension purchases.
Late last year we introduced our first Pass with the All Access Pass, a simple way to access all Easy Digital Downloads extensions with one purchase. While it was very well received, we understand that it doesn’t fit everyone’s needs.
That’s why we are expanding our purchase options to include new Passes that group specific extensions together and make them available in a single purchase. Once a Pass is purchased, not only are you granted a single license key that can be used for updates and support for all included extensions, but you can also download the extensions instantly, whenever you need them (as long as your subscription is active), at no additional charge.
Let’s jump right into the details of each Pass.
Personal, Extended, Professional, and All Access
Note: the prices below have been updated per our second announcement.
We’ve spent a great deal of time designing each Pass to make sure it covers the needs of users at various levels of eCommerce. While some extensions are included in all Passes, others are reserved for a specific Pass (and higher).
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what each Pass includes.
Personal Pass
Description: The Personal Pass is designed to be an entry-level pricing option that covers the basic needs of any online store. With email marketing, streamlined distribution of free digital products, social media tools, and other extensions that help improve customer experience, the simplest stores will benefit from the Personal Pass.

Your questions answered…
Let’s make sure a few important details are understood about the introduction of the above purchase options.
You may still use Easy Digital Downloads with no additional extensions.
You may continue to purchase extensions individually.
You are not required to purchase a Pass.
You may purchase a combination of a Pass and individual extension(s). However, extension substitutions are not allowed within Passes.
Currently, there is no upgrade option from individual extensions to a Pass (except for the All Access Pass, which already has an upgrade option for qualifying customers).
We assure you that these new Passes will not complicate the current purchase process.
Simply put, you have new options, not new requirements.
Additional details
Like the All Access Pass, purchasing one of the new Passes generates a master license key that can be used for all extensions included in the Pass.
At any time, you may upgrade your active Pass subscription to a higher Pass at a prorated cost. The upgrade will instantly grant you access to the extensions included in your new Pass while maintaining the same master license key.
Same as before, you may request a refund for all purchases except for the All Access Pass, for our protection. That means the new Passes are refundable.
Lastly, there is nothing wrong with purchasing individual extensions, or purchasing a combination of a Pass and individual extensions. If it makes sense for your business, you are free to combine the purchase options without restriction.
