How to Make a “Thank You For Your Purchase” PDF for Your Digital Product
When someone buys a digital product from your shop, the first thing they see sets the tone for the whole experience. And while most people think about the product itself, the delivery moment matters just as much.
At CPC, we’ve built a habit of creating a polished “Thank You For Your Download” PDF for every product in the shop. It’s simple, on-brand, and instantly makes your digital product feel more premium – while guiding your customers to exactly what they purchased.
Today we’re breaking down how to create one for your own shop, along with a free Canva template you can plug in and customise!

Digital product delivery can get messy: Different file types, multiple links, and customers wondering where to click. A well-designed PDF solves that.
