How to Use Product Schema for Easy Digital Downloads Products

Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) is a popular WordPress e-commerce plugin that allows you to sell digital products via a WordPress website. The plugin makes it easy for customers to buy and download your digital products like eBooks, WordPress plugins, PDF files, images, infographics, etc.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to use the Product Schema type on products you create using the Easy Digital Downloads plugin – let’s get started.

Note: EDD Product Schema appears only when you are using Rank Math on a Download page created using Easy Digital Downloads. Rank Math detects whether the Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) is installed on your website and adds Schema configuration settings to your Title and Meta settings.
