WooCommerce Digital Download - "Invalid Download Link" after successful payment, order is Completed and paid

6 November 2026 at 01:03

Hi everyone,

I'm stuck with a WooCommerce digital product issue.

I sell virtual/downloadable products (pdf/zip). I integrated a custom payment gateway. Checkout works fine - customer pays, order goes to Completed, I get the money, and the download link even shows up on the Thank You page and My Account page.

But when I click the link, it just says Invalid Download Link. File never downloads.

What I've already tried:

• Product is marked as Virtual + Downloadable • Tried both local files uploaded to WooCommerce and Google Drive direct links (uc?export=download&id=)

• WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Downloadable Products: Method set to Redirect,

• Manually granted permissions from Order > Downloadable product permissions • Tools > Regenerated download permissions

• Tested file names without spaces

• No cache on checkout / my-account pages (LiteSpeed + Cloudflare bypassed)

Is there a hook or fix I need to add to make it grant download access?
