Can I set download link to my digital product on shopify store as redirect url to other article on a specific blog

 That's an interesting use case! Typically, the download link for a digital product is meant to deliver the actual file (like a PDF or zip file) the customer purchased.

However, you might be able to achieve a similar effect using a third-party digital download app, or by using a "URL asset" if your app supports it.

Here's a breakdown:

1. Using a Digital Download App with URL Assets (Most Likely Solution)

Many popular Shopify apps for selling digital products (like Shopify's Digital Downloads app or others like Fileflare) allow you to attach not just actual files, but also URL links (sometimes called "URL Assets") to a product.

• How it works: Instead of uploading a file, you set the fulfillment to be the URL of your specific blog article.

• Result: After purchase, the customer will receive a "download link" via email or on the order confirmation page that, when clicked, will redirect them directly to the blog post.

Recommendation: Check the specific features of the digital download app you are using or plan to use to see if it supports attaching a URL as the deliverable product.

2. Using Shopify's Native URL Redirects (Less Direct)

Shopify's built-in URL Redirects are primarily for fixing broken links (404 errors) from old/deleted pages. This is not for product fulfillment.

• You would create a product, but not attach a file.

• You would then have to rely on a 404 error for the product page to be redirected, which is messy, bad for the customer experience, and doesn't trigger only after a purchase.

Conclusion for your goal: The simplest and most correct way to deliver a non-file link after a digital purchase is to use a digital fulfillment app that allows you to set the product deliverable as a URL/Link asset.
