For Etsy sellers
Etsy digital download delivery template with QR codes
Etsy hands your buyer a file. It does not hand them an experience. A delivery template is the one-page PDF that sits inside every download and tells the buyer exactly what they bought, how to open it, and where to find you next.
What a good delivery template contains
- Your shop name, logo, and accent color on the cover — so the file looks like your brand
- A one-line thank-you note that sounds like a person, not a receipt
- Numbered access instructions for the exact tool the product lives in
- Clickable buttons for each file link (Google Drive, Dropbox, Canva, Notion)
- A custom QR code per product, for buyers reading on a phone
- A quiet invitation: review request, shop link, or next product
Build it in Deliverly instead of Canva
Rebuilding this page by hand for every listing is where sellers quit. In Deliverly you fill in a form once — shop details, colors, logo — then add products with their links. Export a print-ready PDF whose buttons are live and whose QR destinations stay editable after the file is already sitting in a buyer's download. Start from a community template if you would rather clone than build.
The first project is free. If your catalog grows, CSV import and bulk export turn fifty listings into one afternoon instead of fifty afternoons — see pricing.
The problems this actually solves
- The delivery moment is unbranded. Buyers pay, then get a bare ZIP or a raw Google Drive link. That is the last thing they remember about your shop.
- "Where is my file?" messages. Refund requests and 3-star reviews usually start with confusion, not with a bad product.
- No way off the platform. Etsy owns the buyer relationship unless your download itself invites people to your list or shop.
- Rebuilding the same file over and over. Every new listing means a fresh instructions page, new links, new QR codes.
- No idea what buyers actually open. Without a tracked link or QR code you are guessing whether anyone clicks your upsell.
