To sell a PDF on WithMe, add a Digital Product, upload the PDF or file, set a price and share the link. When someone buys, the order email has a download button and the product appears in their library in your hub and in the WithMe app. A PDF also opens in the app's reader.
WithMe is $25 per month billed annually (UK £25), with a 14-day trial and 0% WithMe commission. Stripe and PayPal fees still apply. More than 8,000 creators use it.
PDF, File or Images: which type should you pick?
- PDF: the pages show in the in-app reader, which has a full-screen mode. The Downloadable switch decides whether buyers can also save the original.
- File: for anything buyers need to keep, such as a fillable PDF, a ZIP of printables, an EPUB, a spreadsheet, slides, a Figma or Procreate file, or TTF and OTF fonts. Files are always downloadable, up to 5GB.
- Images: up to 20 JPG or PNG images in one product, for a photo pack or printable art.
- Each product holds one main file, so put a pack of several files in a ZIP.
How do buyers get the file?
For PDF and File products, the order email has a Download button. The link is signed for 90 days and checks on each click that the buyer still has access. If it has expired, it opens the order page instead of an error.
Buyers can also open the product any time from the library in your hub, or in the WithMe app on iOS and Android.
Do you need a separate sales page?
No. Each product has a sales description, button text and media, and can sit on your hub or on a standalone landing page. Add Checkout Fields to collect a name, an address, a phone number or up to five custom questions.
How do you give away a free PDF to grow your list?
Use Lead Capture: the PDF is free in exchange for an email address, and the file is emailed as a signed download link. The new contact can then enter an email sequence that starts after a lead capture.
To deliver it from Instagram, set up Auto DMs. When someone comments a keyword on your post, they get a DM with a link to the lead capture or to the paid product. You connect your Instagram account to WithMe first.
How should you price and promote it?
- Set a fixed price in GBP, USD, EUR, SEK, AUD, CAD or NZD, or make it free.
- Add a promo code, or an order bump so buyers can add a second paid product at checkout at a discount.
- Bundle a course with the PDF, so PDF buyers get the course as well.
What is not included?
There is no stamping or watermarking of the PDF with the buyer's name, no pay what you want pricing for products, and no extra offer page after checkout. Each product has one main file. A download link checks access on every click, but a file that has been downloaded can be copied like any file.
How much does WithMe cost?
WithMe is $25 per month billed annually (UK £25), with a 14-day trial and 0% WithMe commission. Stripe and PayPal fees still apply. Free migration of up to 10 GB of your courses and members comes with the yearly plan. One plan covers courses, memberships, community, coaching, webinars and digital products.
