Demo Link Plugin Documentation
Demo Link
Description
Demo Link is a plugin that adds widget functionality to the nopCommerce product page, specifically for Digitally Downloadable Products. It displays a customizable Demo button on product pages, allowing potential customers to explore a live demo before making a purchase decision. This is especially useful for products like HTML templates and we can add like any online product whose demo can be shared online through a website link .
Suppose you are selling HTML template on your nopCommerce-powered eCommerce store. Just showing static images is not enough to convey the true experience of the product. Customers often want to see how the product actually looks and feels in a real environment. This is where the Demo Link Plugin becomes essential. It lets you define a live demo URL for each downloadable product, allowing users to preview your product in action and make more informed buying decisions – ultimately increasing conversions.
