GSheetConnector for Easy Digital Downloads

GSheetConnector for Easy Digital Downloads is an addon that connects your WordPress store running Easy Digital Downloads to Google Sheets.

Each time a customer buys a download, the order details go straight to your Google Sheet. You don’t need to export CSV files, copy and paste, or use Zapier. Your sales, customers and payment data stay up to date in a spreadsheet that you can share with your team, accountant or reporting tools.

🛒 Easy Digital Downloads ➜ to 📊 Google Sheets

Store owners use this plugin to:

• Track every EDD sale in a live Google Sheet without manual exports.
• Keep separate tabs for Complete, Pending, Processing, On Hold, Refunded, Failed, Abandoned, Revoked and other order statuses.
• Share sales reports with partners, accountants or a fulfilment team without giving them WordPress admin access.
• Build dashboards and charts in Google Sheets or Looker Studio from live EDD order data.
• Keep a backup of your store’s purchase history in the cloud.

🚀 Key Features (Free)

• Real-time order sync: new EDD orders are sent to Google Sheets as soon as they are placed.
• Order-status tabs: each enabled order status gets its own sheet tab, and the plugin adds the headers for you.
• Status change tracking: when an order moves from one status to another (for example, Pending to Complete), the row moves to the matching tab.
• Deleted payment cleanup: when a payment is deleted in EDD, its row is removed from the sheet.
• Create or fetch spreadsheets: create a new Google Spreadsheet or load your existing ones from inside WordPress.
• Two Google sign-in methods: one-click Existing Client/Secret (Auto Setup), or Manual Client/Secret with your own Google API project.

• Role management: choose which WordPress user roles can open and manage the Google Sheet settings.
• Debug log and System Status: built-in error logs and an environment report make troubleshooting quick.
