By default, WooCommerce does not notify your customers when you update a downloadable file or digital product. The Digital Product Update Notifier for WooCommerce solves this by letting you safely queue and broadcast update emails to past buyers with a single click.
Whether you have 10 past buyers or 10,000, this plugin is built for performance. Instead of crashing your server by sending emails sequentially on page save, it uses WooCommerce’s built-in Action Scheduler to process emails efficiently in the background.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Safe Background Processing: Uses Action Scheduler to queue emails, preventing server timeouts and crashes on large stores.</li>
<li>Native WooCommerce Emails: Emails are sent using your store’s global WooCommerce sender details and inherit your native store styling (header, logo, footer).</li>
<li>Customizable Templates: Edit the email subject, heading, and body content directly from the WordPress admin area.</li>
<li>Dynamic Tags: Personalize emails using <code>{product_name}</code> and <code>{account_url}</code> variables.</li>
<li>Test Email Tool: Send a preview email to yourself before blasting your customer list.</li>
<li>Secure Broadcast Logs: Keep track of queue initializations right from your dashboard.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to use?</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to WooCommerce > Update Notifier to configure your email template.</li>
<li>When editing any Downloadable WooCommerce product, check the “Notify Past Buyers” box before clicking “Update” to trigger the broadcast.</li>
</ol>
