Download Prompts & Buttons

Paddle.js has built-in download functionality, so you can build your customer base while offering website downloads.

When enabled, Paddle.js can prompt for an Email Signup/Audience Subscription in order to initiate the download. This allows you to build up your customer marketing base while offering downloads on your website.

Download Button

Creating a Download button is simple. Any HTML element can be a download button (though we recommend a link, or button tag). The link/button must have the CSS class paddle_download applied, and a download URL specified with data-download-url. In order for the Download Prompt to be GDPR compliant, your company name must be included in the opt-in message. To do this, you must add the data-vendor-name attribute to the download button. Failure to do this will result in no marketing consent being gathered for users submitting the form.

By default, Paddle.js will prompt the user to enter their email address to proceed to the download, for example:

To disable the download prompt (and simply forward users directly to the download URL) specify data-download-prompt="false" on the link/button.

The title, subtitle and call-to-action text are all customizable by adding the relevant attributes to the link/button:

• data-download-heading - Updates the title, default: “Enter your email to download!”
• data-download-subheading - Updates the subtitle, default: “Enter your email address to begin the download.”
• data-download-cta - Updates the button/CTA text, default: “Download!”
