What Is EDD Resend Receipt Addon?
EDD Resend Receipt Addon is developed by Easy Digital Downloads and is an ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the ecommerce category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for digital store management. The plugin removes the authentication barrier for customers who need to access their digital assets quickly.
This extension solves the problem of customers losing their initial confirmation email and being unable to find their download links. It is specifically designed for stores that allow guest purchases or do not want to force users to create accounts just to manage past orders.
EDD Resend Receipt Addon Features
The core feature set is built around providing a secure, no-login retrieval system for digital receipts and download keys.
Multiple Retrieval Methods
Resend Receipt supports retrieving customer purchases using several identifiers including the Purchase Key or Payment ID. If you are using the Easy Digital Downloads Software Licensing extension, customers can also use their License Key to trigger a receipt resend. This flexibility ensures that as long as a customer has one piece of order data, they can regain access to their files.
Security and Control
To protect store resources, the plugin includes built-in rate limiting to prevent automated scripts or malicious users from continually submitting the same request. Site owners can also enable admin notifications to receive an email whenever a customer requests a receipt resend. These settings are easily managed within the standard WordPress admin interface under the ecommerce extension settings.
Shortcode Integration
The plugin integrates directly with the existing Purchase History shortcode found in the core Easy Digital Downloads plugin. When a visitor is logged out, they are automatically presented with a form to enter their details. The system then sends the receipt to the original email address used at the time of purchase, ensuring no unauthorized parties gain access to the links.

Reducing Support Tickets
By automating the receipt retrieval process, store owners spend less time manually searching for transaction IDs and resending emails to customers who have lost their purchase keys. This automation scales as your shop grows.
