The Easy Digital Downloads Variable Pricing Switcher is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance the e-commerce experience for digital product sellers, particularly those using the Easy Digital Downloads platform.

This extension addresses a common challenge in the online purchasing process—keeping customers engaged on the checkout page to improve conversion rates.

The primary functionality of this plugin revolves around the ability to switch between variable prices directly on the checkout page.

In scenarios where a product offers multiple purchase options or license levels (such as Bronze, Silver, and Gold), customers may not be immediately certain about their preferred choice.

The Variable Pricing Switcher becomes valuable in such cases by allowing customers to easily switch between different price options without leaving the checkout screen.

The importance of this feature lies in preventing potential customers from getting distracted and abandoning their purchases when faced with multiple product options.

By enabling customers to make price option selections directly on the checkout page, the plugin aims to streamline the purchasing process and reduce the likelihood of customers changing their minds and leaving the checkout screen.

Additionally, for websites that operate as single-product sites or those that do not require a shopping cart, the plugin offers a “Disable cart on checkout page” option.

This feature removes the shopping cart from the checkout page, simplifying the user experience. This can be especially useful when combined with the pricing switcher for a more straightforward and focused checkout process.

Importantly, the variable price switcher can be individually enabled for each product, providing flexibility and customization options for site administrators.

Overall, the Easy Digital Downloads Variable Pricing Switcher aims to enhance user engagement, reduce checkout abandonment, and optimize the purchase experience for digital products with variable pricing options.
