Will Instant download be added to the category bar?

[Susang6]

Presently the bar shows Home Collections Likes Stores Activity.  Would instant download be added there as it would be an easy way for customers to find everything that is available?  Will there be a page that will show all products that are downloadable?

none of those links answer my question...but I guess a link directory might be helpful to others.

I haven't heard of any plans to add a new section to the top bar, as you've mentioned.

The downloadable products are easily visible in the marketplace because they have a 'downloadable' badge. You can also view ONLY downloadable products in a marketplace search by going Add Filter -> Special Picks -> Downloadable. This does require that you be in the beta test, however.

Unsure what changes we might make as we approach a full launch.

Aha!! I was expecting to find such option in the Type filter. When it wasn't there my next choice was Delivery Date. When I wasn't able to find an option to filter it to just Instant Downloads I assumed site changes to things like that wouldn't occur until there's a full launch. I never in a million years would have thought to try the Special Picks filter. Hopefully when it goes live they will move the option to the Type filter where it makes more sense.

My thoughts exactly!

I have a question... Does the "downloadable" badge have priority over the others? They all occupy the same space and I have noticed that an "editor's pick" product does not appear if it is "real metallic foil" and it can be both. If there is now a new badge that can affect the featured, how will it be done? What priority do these badges have? Foil products will not be affected in the case of downloadables, that's for sure.

[Scott]

Yeah, we can only display one at a time. For now, Downloadable takes top priority, but I'm not totally sure of the ordering.

So it would be smart to create collections for instant download cards, invitations, and posters so that it's easy for the customer who is interested download products to find what they are looking for easily in the designer's stores right?  ( collections would have to stay hidden until full launch)   any idea as to when the full launch would be?   Scott Thank you for your reply

I like the idea of coming up with ideas now, because you'll be a bit more prepared for the future.

Generally, though, I should remind everyone reading this post that we're still testing with a small group of users. As a general rule, it isn't the best idea to make major adjustments to your store when testing is in this phase. I don't know what the schedule is for testing (when it might open up to additional users, or when it will end), and I don't know when we might make a decision to enable the feature for all.
