eBook Store · WordPress plugin since 2014

Sell your publications. Protect every copy.

Ebook Store for WordPress turns your site into a complete eBook shop: one-page checkout, payment processing and automatic delivery. Watermark both PDF and ePub copies with buyer details — and for PDF, also encrypt, password-protect and disable printing — with no marketplace between you and your readers.

Why Ebook Store

Three jobs, done properly

Not a pile of settings — a store that sells, a vault that protects, and a courier that never sleeps.

Sell without friction

A clean one-page checkout that buyers finish. No forced registration, no cart maze — embed it on any page with a shortcode and start taking orders.

Protect every copy

Watermark PDF and ePub copies with the buyer’s identity and stamp them with a QR code. PDFs can also be encrypted, password-protected and blocked from printing — so a leaked copy is never anonymous.

Deliver automatically

Payment clears, the protected file ships by email or secure link, the order is logged. Import your whole catalog in bulk and let it run.

Watch a PDF get armored

This is what happens to a file between “payment received” and “inbox”. Flip the layers on and off — each one is a setting in the plugin.

Chapter One · Sample publication

Front-end preview for illustration — actual protection is applied server-side to the delivered file and depends on your configuration.

Your store, your architecture

Standalone or with WooCommerce — both first-class

Ebook Store ships with its own complete order flow. WooCommerce is an option you can switch on, never a dependency.

For authors & focused eBook stores

A complete store, nothing else required

Install one plugin and you have products, checkout, payments, protection and delivery. Lightweight, fast to set up, and every part of the flow is built for digital publications.

  • Built-in one-page checkout and order processing
  • Direct PayPal or Stripe payments
  • Embed products anywhere with a shortcode
  • No cart plugin, no extra stack to maintain

Both modes use the same protection engine — you can start standalone and connect WooCommerce later.

FAQ

Before you ask

No. Ebook Store for WordPress runs as a complete standalone store with its own checkout, order processing and delivery. WooCommerce integration is optional — useful if you already run a WooCommerce shop or want its wider ecosystem.

PDF, ePub, Mobi, TXT, ZIP, MP3 and MP4 — ebooks, audio, video and bundled downloads. The free version focuses on PDF; every paid plan unlocks the full format list and the complete PDF & ePub feature set.

The Pro version watermarks both PDF and ePub copies with personalized buyer details and adds a traceable QR code. PDFs can additionally be encrypted, password-protected and restricted from printing. Protection is applied automatically to the delivered file, per your settings.

No. Checkout works without forcing registration — buyers pay and receive the file by email or download link. Optional customer accounts are available in Pro for repeat buyers.

PayPal is included in the free version. Pro adds Stripe — which brings cards and wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Link, SEPA and WeChat Pay, where available — plus Adyen.

The Pro plan covers your sites under its license; the Developer plan is aimed at freelancers and agencies with a 5-site installation license for client projects. If you’re unsure which fits, email support@shopfiles.com before ordering.

Yes. Pro includes a bulk importer built for bringing in and managing large numbers of publications.

No. All plans are a one-time payment with 2 years of technical support included. The plugin keeps working after the support period.

Pro includes standard support and Developer includes priority support, both for 2 years. The Full Site Setup service adds 60 days of VIP launch support on top.

No — and no honest DRM vendor can. What Ebook Store does is make unauthorized sharing unattractive and traceable: encryption keeps casual copying out, personalized watermarks put the buyer’s identity on every page, and QR verification tells you exactly which order a leaked copy came from.

Sell automatically. Protect relentlessly.

Use Ebook Store for WordPress on its own or with WooCommerce. Either way, every copy you sell leaves home watermarked and traceable — and every PDF encrypted.
