You should get paid for it. You spent months on your ebook. Then one buyer emails the file to ten friends, someone drops it in a group chat, and it spreads for free while you never see another sale. Ebook Store fixes both halves of that problem on your own WordPress site: it gets you paid, and — with Pro — it stamps every copy you sell, PDF or ePub, with the buyer it was sold to, so a leaked file points straight back to the person who shared it. No separate storefront. No marketplace skimming a cut of every sale. You keep the payment, the customer, and the file. #### Sell your first ebook this afternoon Upload a book, set a price, drop a shortcode on any page — that page is now a working order form, with the cover, description, price and a buy button. Add an optional 3D book preview and a free sample chapter if you like. When someone buys, they get a checkout, a thank-you page with their download links, and an optional delivery email with the file attached or linked. Would you rather they didn’t download at all? Let them read it in the browser instead. PayPal is built in — PayPal balance, card, eCheck and bank transfer — so you can take money the moment you’re set up. A store-readiness panel walks you through exactly what’s left before your first sale and links straight to the screen that fixes each item. Several order-form designs let the form match your site. That’s the free version, and it is a complete store: sell ebooks and other digital downloads, take payment, and deliver — for real, not a crippled demo. #### The free version sells and delivers. Pro protects and scales. When casual sharing starts eating your sales, or you outgrow PayPal-only checkout, Ebook Store Pro adds the protection and reach a growing store needs. Everything below is what you gain — Pro adds capabilities, it never switches off anything the free version already does. #### New in 6.20 — watermark every ePub to its buyer (social DRM) An ePub is a website in a box: unlike a PDF, it cannot be password-locked without breaking the e-readers your customers use. So Ebook Store doesn’t lock it — it stamps it. Every ePub you sell is watermarked with the buyer’s identity right in the pages, recorded again in the file’s hidden metadata, and can carry a scannable QR verification code. You decide where the watermark and QR go: the opening page, the start of every chapter, or a dedicated licence page at the end; top or bottom; a subtle line or a boxed notice. This is ePub DRM the customer-friendly way — social DRM, not a lock. The delivered file stays a fully valid ePub that opens in Apple Books, Kindle, Kobo, calibre and the rest, with no apps and no logins. It works in any language, and books that already carry DRM or font obfuscation pass through untouched. And a paid download is never blocked, even if watermarking can’t run. The reader you sold to is never punished; the copy is simply traceable. #### Lock down your PDFs: PDF DRM that prints in any language For PDFs, Pro adds full PDF DRM. Encrypt the file, set an open password (a fixed one, a fresh random one per order, the buyer’s own email, or leave it open but restricted), and disable printing, copying, editing and annotations. Every page can be stamped with a per-buyer watermark carrying their name, email and order, alongside a QR verification code. The watermarking engine, rebuilt on TCPDF, renders buyer watermarks and QR codes in any language — Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic included, with correct right-to-left ordering — and no longer needs the PHP GD extension, so it runs on far more hosts. The QR is drawn on your own server, with no third-party QR service involved. #### Trace any leaked copy back to its buyer Every copy you deliver, PDF or ePub, is uniquely tied to the order it came from. A public verification page turns that into action: scan a copy’s QR code and it shows the order the copy was licensed to, so a file that turns up on a sharing site points straight back to who shared it. This is ebook watermarking as deterrence, not lockdown — social DRM discourages casual sharing without the customer-hostile restrictions of hard DRM. It won’t stop a determined pirate, and we don’t pretend it does; it strongly deters the casual forwarding that costs indie sellers the most. Want to see precisely what a buyer receives before you sell it? A Test button on each book previews the real protected PDF or watermarked ePub — and asks which one when a book has both. #### More formats, more gateways, more reach (Pro) * Sell more file types: ePub, Mobi, TXT and ZIP, plus MP3 and MP4 so you can bundle audio and video with a book. * Add card checkout with Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Klarna, SEPA and more) and Adyen. * Already run a shop? WooCommerce integration links an ebook to a product and works with the cart, variable products and High-Performance Order Storage. * Grow faster with a bulk book importer, automatic customer accounts for re-downloads, Kindle delivery, and per-ebook email and thank-you overrides. * Connect the tools you already use: Mailchimp, Brevo, WP Affiliate Manager, Google Analytics 4, Elementor and WPBakery / Visual Composer. #### Free vs Pro at a glance Free: sell and deliver PDF ebooks, PayPal checkout, a thank-you page with download links, optional email delivery and in-browser reading, a 3D preview, free samples, and the store-readiness setup panel. Pro adds: PDF DRM and PDF watermarking, ePub watermarking (ePub DRM / social DRM), leaked-copy traceability with a QR verification page, the ePub / Mobi / TXT / ZIP/ MP3 / MP4 formats, the Stripe and Adyen gateways, WooCommerce integration, a bulk importer, automatic customer accounts, Kindle delivery and the marketing integrations. Nothing in the free version is time-limited or switched off. #### Who it’s for Authors, publishers, course creators and coaches who want to sell ebooks and digital file downloads directly — ebooks, PDFs, ePub, audio, video and ZIP bundles — from a site they own, and keep casual sharing from quietly draining their revenue. Ebook Store ships in English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi and Arabic( with right-to-left support), so both your store and your buyer watermarks read correctly for a global audience. #### Ready to protect what you sell?

Security issues can be reported through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. ### Shortcodes #### [ebook_store] The full order form for one book: cover, description, price, preview and buy button. This is the shortcode shown next to each book in **Ebook Store > Ebooks**. * `ebook_id` — the ID of the ebook to display. Required. Example: `[ebook_store ebook_id="123"]` * `template` — which order-form design to use for this one form, overriding the site-wide choice in Settings. Accepts `2026`, `modern`, `hello-elementor-2026`,` legacy`, or the key of a template you saved yourself in Settings > Pages & emails. An unknown value falls back to `2026`. Example: `[ebook_store ebook_id="123" template="modern"]` #### [ebook_store_buy] The same thing with the buy button only — no cover, description or details panel. Useful when your page already describes the book and you just want a button. * `ebook_id` — the ID of the ebook to sell. Required. * `template` — same values as above. Example: `[ebook_store_buy ebook_id="123"]` #### [ebook_thank_you] Placed on the thank-you page, this renders the buyer’s download links, passwords and order details after a payment. The **Create it now** button in Settings puts this on the page for you; you only need it by hand if you build the thank-you page yourself. * `ebook_id` — optional, and normally left out. The order is identified from the link the buyer arrives on, not from this attribute. * `template` — same values as above. Example: `[ebook_thank_you]` #### [ebook_store_row] A wrapper that lays several order forms out side by side in one row. It is an enclosing shortcode: put the individual book shortcodes between the opening and closing tags. * `col` — how many columns the row should use. A whole number. Example: ``` [ebook_store_row col="3"][ebook_store ebook_id="12"][ebook_store ebook_id="13"][ebook_store ebook_id="14"][/ebook_store_row] ``` #### [ebook_store_downloads] Lists the orders belonging to the currently logged-in customer, each linking to its download page. Put it on a “My downloads” or account page. It takes no attributes and shows nothing to logged-out visitors. Example: `[ebook_store_downloads]` ## Screenshots [⌊One shortcode turns any page into a full order form — cover, description, price and a buy button, ready for buyers.⌉⌊One shortcode turns any page into a full order form — cover, description, price and a buy button, ready for buyers.⌉[ One shortcode turns any page into a full order form — cover, description, price and a buy button, ready for buyers.

In your WordPress admin go to **Plugins > Add New**, search for “Ebook Store”, click **Install Now** and then **Activate**. To install from a zip file instead, use **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**. 2. Go to **Settings > Ebook Store**. The readiness panel at the top tells you exactly what is stopping you from taking orders — a missing payment method, a missing thank- you page, no books yet — and links to the screen that fixes each one. 3. Enter your PayPal email address on the **PayPal** tab, or your keys on the **Stripe** or **Adyen** tab, and save. 4. Click **Create it now** on the “Thank-you page is missing” item. The plugin creates and publishes the page buyers are sent to after paying. 5. Go to **Ebook Store > Add New**, fill in the title, description, price and cover image, upload your ebook file, and publish. 6. Copy the shortcode shown for that book in **Ebook Store > Ebooks** and paste it into the post or page where you want the order form to appear. That is the whole setup. Everything after this — email delivery, watermarking, VAT, download limits — is optional and lives in the settings tabs. **Selling through WooCommerce (Pro):** 1. Add your book under **Ebook Store > Add New** as above. 2. Open the WooCommerce product that should deliver it and switch to the **Ebook Store** tab in the product data box. 3. Pick the ebook and save. Buyers now see a Downloads section on their order confirmation page, and the delivery email works the same way. ## FAQ ### How do I sell an ebook on my WordPress site? Upload your book under Ebook Store > Add New, set a price and a cover, and save. The plugin hands you a shortcode; paste it into any post or page and that page becomes an order form with a checkout. Buyers land on a thank-you page with their download links and get an optional delivery email. The free version does all of this with PayPal built in — no code and no separate storefront. ### What do I get for free, and what needs Pro? The free version is a complete store: sell ebooks and digital downloads in PDF, take payment with PayPal, and deliver by download, email or in-browser reading — with a store-readiness panel that walks you through setup. Ebook Store Pro adds ebook watermarking and PDF DRM, ePub DRM (social DRM), leaked-copy traceability with a QR verification page, more formats (ePub, Mobi, TXT, ZIP, MP3, MP4), the Stripe and Adyen gateways, WooCommerce integration, a bulk importer, automatic customer accounts, Kindle delivery and more. Pro only adds capabilities — it never disables anything the free version does. ### Which payment methods can I use? PayPal is built into the free version (PayPal balance, card, eCheck and bank transfer), so you can start taking money right away. Ebook Store Pro adds Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Klarna, SEPA and more) and Adyen, and can hand checkout to WooCommerce so the gateways you run there work too. ### How do I watermark an ePub without breaking Kindle, Apple Books or Kobo? An ePub can’t be password-locked without stopping e-readers from opening it, so Ebook Store Pro uses social DRM instead. It stamps each buyer’s identity into the book’s pages and its hidden metadata, with an optional QR verification code, and you choose where it goes — the opening page, the start of every chapter, or a licence page at the end. The delivered file stays a fully valid ePub that opens in Apple Books, Kindle, Kobo and calibre, with no apps and no logins, and it works in any language. ### How do I add DRM or a password to a PDF? With Ebook Store Pro you can encrypt each purchased PDF, set an open password (fixed, random per order, the buyer’s own email, or open-but-restricted), and disable printing, copying, editing and annotations. That’s full PDF DRM, plus a per-buyer watermark and QR code stamped on every page. It’s all on the PDF protection tab in settings, and a Test button lets you preview the exact protected file first. ### If someone shares a file I sold, can I trace it back to the buyer? Yes, when you sell with Pro. Every PDF and ePub you deliver is uniquely tied to its order and carries the buyer’s name, email and order number. Scan the copy’s QR code and the public verification page shows the order it was licensed to, so a leaked file points straight back to who shared it. Social DRM deters casual sharing and traces leaks — it’s honest deterrence, not an unbreakable lock, and it won’t stop a determined pirate. ### Will protecting a file break it or annoy my customers? No. A watermarked ePub stays a valid file that opens everywhere, and a protected PDF still opens for the buyer. Protection never restricts the reader beyond the print and copy limits you choose; files that already carry DRM or font obfuscation are passed through untouched; and a paid download is never blocked — if watermarking can’t run for any reason, the buyer still gets their file. You can preview the exact protected file a buyer receives with the Test button before you ever sell it. ### Do I need the PHP GD extension to watermark PDFs? No — not anymore. Older versions relied on PHP’s GD extension, but the watermarking engine was rebuilt on TCPDF, which removed that requirement. Buyer watermarks and QR codes now print in any language, including Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic with correct right-to-left ordering, on far more hosts, with no GD needed. (If you read otherwise in older documentation, that note is out of date.) ### Can I sell ebooks with WooCommerce? Yes, with Ebook Store Pro. Link an ebook to a WooCommerce product and it works with the cart, variable products and High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS). Buyers see their downloads on the order confirmation page, and the same watermarking and delivery apply. ### Can buyers read in the browser instead of downloading? Yes, and it’s in the free version. You can deliver a book as an in-browser read instead of, or as well as, a download — handy when you’d rather the file didn’t leave your site at all. ### Can I sell a book for free, or take donations? Yes. Set the price to zero and the order form becomes a download form. You can still require buyers to leave their email address, and in Pro the file can still be watermarked. ### I upgraded from an older version and Square is gone. What happened? Square checkout was removed in 6.00: its SDK required PHP 8.1, which locked the whole plugin out of every site still on PHP 7.4. Set up PayPal, Stripe or Adyen instead, or sell through WooCommerce and use a Square gateway there. Your existing orders and downloads are untouched. ### What are the requirements? Ebook Store needs WordPress 5.8 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. ### How can I report security bugs? You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team helps validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities.

Every ePub you sell is now watermarked with the buyer’s identity in the visible pages and again in the file’s hidden metadata, with an optional scannable QR verification code. Choose where the watermark and QR go: the opening page, the start of every chapter, or a dedicated licence page at the end; top or bottom; a subtle line or a boxed notice. The delivered file stays a fully valid ePub that opens in Apple Books, Kindle, Kobo and calibre and works in any language. Books that already carry DRM or font obfuscation pass through untouched, and a paid download is never blocked — if watermarking can’t run, the buyer still receives their file. * ePub delivery now matches PDF for email: when “attach the file to the email” is switched on, the buyer’s watermarked ePub is attached to the delivery email as well — for every payment gateway (PayPal, Stripe, Adyen, WooCommerce and manual orders) and on resend — not only offered as a download link. * Public verification page for traceability: scan a delivered copy’s QR code and it shows the order that copy was licensed to, so a leaked PDF or ePub points straight back to who shared it. * Admin Test button on each book previews the exact protected PDF or watermarked ePub a buyer would receive before you sell it, and asks which format to test when a book has both. * PDF watermarking engine rebuilt on TCPDF: buyer watermarks and the QR verification code now print in any language, including Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic with correct right-to-left ordering, and no longer require the PHP GD extension, so watermarking runs on far more hosts. The QR is drawn on your own server, with no third-party service. * Clearer PDF-protection screen organised around a Lock, Restrict and Trace flow, with a plain-language summary of what is currently protected. * Redesigned the General settings tab into three focused cards with a live “how your store behaves” summary, and folded lengthy help into on-demand details so the screen is easier to scan. * Updated the German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi and Arabic translations to cover the new ePub protection, QR and verification features. * Corrected outdated documentation that said PDF watermarking needs the PHP GD extension — it no longer does. #### 6.10 * The settings screen is simpler to get started with. New stores now open on a short “get your store selling in 3 steps” guide, and the tabs are grouped into a handful of clear sections instead of one long row, so setting up feels far less overwhelming. Each tab shows only its essentials, with advanced options tucked away until you need them. * The PDF protection screen has been reworked around a clear Lock, Restrict and Trace flow, with a plain-language summary of what is currently protected and a single simple choice for how buyers open their file. * The order process was reviewed end to end and made more reliable: order totals are recorded correctly (including high-value orders), duplicate orders from repeated payment notifications are prevented, buyer accounts are matched safely, and resent delivery emails always include the download link. * Delivery of encrypted, watermarked PDFs is more dependable and keeps the generated copies out of public reach. * Buyer watermarks now print correctly in any language, including Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic (with proper right-to-left ordering), and the QR verification code is drawn on your own server with no external service required. * Fixed the admin dark-mode appearance so text is always readable, and polished a number of smaller layout and accessibility details. * Added German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi and Arabic translations, with right-to-left support for Arabic. #### 6.00 * Square checkout has been removed completely. The Square SDK required PHP 8.1, which shut the entire plugin out of every site still running PHP 7.4. All Square code, settings, options and the bundled SDK are gone, and leftover Square options are cleaned out of your database automatically when you update. If you were taking payment with Square, switch to PayPal, Stripe or Adyen, or sell through WooCommerce. * The plugin runs on PHP 7.4 again and declares “Requires PHP: 7.4”. The only bundled dependency left is the Stripe library. * The plugin folder went from 167 MB to 11 MB. Two webhook log files inside the plugin directory had grown to 123 MB and 15 MB, were never rotated, and could be read by anyone over the web. Logging now goes to a protected folder inside wp-content/uploads, is size-capped and rotated, and stays off entirely unless WP_DEBUG is enabled. * License checking works properly now. The check runs on the server once a day and the result is cached, instead of a browser request that could never succeed.
