Quick start guide
Goal
By the end of this guide you will have CRM for Free Downloads Woo installed, licensed, and configured so it works with at least one free-download product.
Prerequisites
- CRM for Free Downloads Woo installed and activated (see Installation and activation).
- Free Downloads for WooCommerce Pro installed and activated.
- At least one WooCommerce product set up as a free download (no checkout).
Steps
Step 1: Open the CRM / Email tab
- Go to WP Enhanced > Free Downloads Woo, then click CRM / Email.
- Confirm you see the add account form and any existing connected accounts.
Step 2: Activate your license (if needed)
Go to WP Enhanced > Free Downloads Woo > License to view and manage your WP Enhanced licenses. If you have a CRM addon license key and don’t see where to add it on that page, contact WP Enhanced support.
Step 3: Add a provider account
- On the CRM / Email tab, choose a Provider from the dropdown (e.g. MailPoet, ConvertKit).
- Enter an Account name and the API key for that provider.
- Click Add. Wait for the success message.
- Click Refresh lists next to the new account to sync lists from the provider.
Step 4: Choose the provider in Tracking
- Go to WP Enhanced > Free Downloads Woo > Tracking.
- Enable Track Free Downloads and Capture Emails if they are not already on.
- In Newsletter Subscription Option, select your CRM provider (e.g. MailerLite, Brevo, Mailchimp). This tells Pro to send captured emails to that provider when users download.
- Save the Tracking settings.
tip
You add and configure provider accounts on the CRM / Email tab; you choose which provider to use for newsletter signup on the Tracking tab. Both steps are required for the addon to work.
Step 5: Test with a free download
- Open a page or product that uses Free Downloads WooCommerce Pro for an instant free download.
- Complete the download flow (e.g. click the download button or submit an email form if required).
- Check that the addon is recording or sending data as expected (e.g. in your CRM or email tool, or in the addon’s own logs/list if available).
Verification
- The addon settings save without errors.
- A test download completes and, if applicable, appears in your email/CRM or in the addon’s reporting.
