Adding documents to your WIX product pages can improve customer experience and provide important details. Whether it’s a user manual, sizing chart, or warranty information, making these files easily accessible helps shoppers make better decisions.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to add documents to WIX product pages in just a few simple steps.
Why Add Documents to Your WIX Product Pages?
Before we begin, let’s look at why adding documents is useful:
✅ Better Customer Experience – Buyers can access guides, specs, or FAQs instantly.
✅ Fewer Support Requests – Customers find answers on their own, saving you time.
✅ Increased Trust – Providing manuals or certifications makes your brand look professional.
Now, let’s get started!
Method 1: Add a Download Button to Product Pages
The easiest way to add documents is by using a download button. Here’s how:
- Go to Your WIX Editor
- Open your WIX dashboard and click “Edit Site.”
- Open the Product Page
- Navigate to the product where you want to add a document.
- Add a Button Element
- Click the “+” button on the left menu.
- Select “Button” and drag it to your desired location.
- Upload Your Document
- Click the button to customize it.
- Under “Link,” choose “File” and upload your PDF, DOC, or other file.
- Customize the Button Text
- Change the button label to something like “Download Manual” or “View Sizing Chart.”
- Save & Publish
- Click “Publish” to make your changes live.
Now, customers can click the button to download the file directly.
Method 2: Link Documents in the Product Description
If you prefer a text link instead of a button, follow these steps:
- Edit the Product Description
- Open your product in the WIX editor.
- Click on the description area to edit it.
- Add a Text Link
- Highlight the text you want to link (e.g., “Click here for instructions”).
- Click the link icon in the text editor.
- Upload & Attach the File
- Choose “File” and upload your document.
- Save the link.
- Publish Your Changes
- Click “Publish” to update your store.
Now, customers can click the text link to open or download the file.
Method 3: Use a WIX App for Advanced Options
If you need more features (like multiple downloads or password-protected files), try a WIX App:
- Go to the WIX App Market
- In your dashboard, click “Add Apps.”
- Search for a File Manager App
- Try apps like “File Share” or “Downloads & Files.”
- Install & Set Up the App
- Follow the app’s instructions to upload and link files.
- Add the App to Your Product Page
- Drag the app element onto your product page.
This method works well if you have multiple documents per product.
Best Practices for Adding Documents
🔹 Use PDFs for Better Compatibility – Most customers can open PDFs easily.
🔹 Keep File Names Clear – Example: “User_Manual_ProductName.pdf”
🔹 Optimize File Size – Large files slow down your site (use tools like SmallPDF to compress).
🔹 Test Before Publishing – Check that links work on desktop and mobile.
Final Thoughts
Adding documents to your WIX product pages is simple and improves customer satisfaction. Whether you use a button, text link, or app, this small change can make a big difference.
