Can I Use Giveaways for Digital Downloads on Etsy?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can give away digital files with Gleam.

Yes. Gleam can deliver a digital file as the reward, so a template, printable or planner can be the prize or a freebie. We don't list an Etsy integration, so entrants collect the file from Gleam rather than from your Etsy shop.

You've two ways to set it up:

Rewards Download. In a Rewards campaign, choose the Downloads reward type, add a direct link to your file or upload one, and set the Claim Text on the button. Add several links to give each entrant their own.
Coupon Action in a Competition. Add the Coupon Action and set Type to a download. Entrants unlock it after they complete the Actions you require.

Entrants see the download button in the widget as soon as they qualify. If you turn on Capture User Details, we also email them the link, and you can customise the email on the Business Plan.

A few cautions. Host your file somewhere you control. A link in the widget isn't private, so don't use it for paid content. Check Etsy's own rules on promotions before you link out from a listing, since we haven't verified them.
