In this help article, we'll show you how to include downloads with plans, sell downloads individually, and explain how members access their purchased files.

## Include a download with a plan

To begin, go to *Content → Downloads* and then click **Create Download.**

Name the download, choose the file from your computer, and add a description.

In the *Which plans should include this download?* section: select **All plans** to include the download with all current and future plans.

Alternatively, choose **Select from your list of plans** to assign it to specific plans.

## How members access downloads

Members can access all their downloads when they log in to their account. For ease of use, they can sort them alphabetically or by the date they were added.

```text theme={null}
https://ACCOUNT-URL.memberful.com/account/downloads
```

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/memberful/kPJAB9aIOraP9OEM/images/media/include-or-sell-downloads/member-access-downloads.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=kPJAB9aIOraP9OEM&q=85&s=672e515ffdcd92374a5475049d6874ec" alt="Access Downloads" width="1440" height="785" data-path="images/media/include-or-sell-downloads/member-access-downloads.png" />
</Frame>

You can use our [WordPress shortcodes](/wordpress-plugin/protect-content/wordpress-shortcodes/) to directly link to downloads on your site. Alternatively, you can use the URL below, but make sure to replace the last four digits with the ones for your download found in the Downloads tab.

```text theme={null}
https://ACCOUNT-URL.memberful.com/account/downloads/get/1234
```

<Callout icon="info" color="#22E273">
  When a member clicks a download, Memberful generates a temporary link that expires after 10 minutes. This helps prevent unauthorized sharing. Members can click the download link again to generate a new link if needed.
