A downloadable product can be anything that you can deliver as a file, such as an eBook, music, video and etc.&#x20;

Because the actual download is not available until after the purchase, you can provide samples, such as an excerpt from a book, a clip from an audio file, or a trailer from a video that the customer can try before purchasing the product. The files that you make available for download can be either uploaded to your server or from a different server.

**Caching Solution Note**\
\
After any changes, the product will be updated on the Front-End immediately after being saved, as they are part of the ScandiPWA caching solution that will invalidate caching entries for the updated content. No cache flush or any other manual operations are necessary. Content will be visible after page refreshes and new cache entries will be stored.
