How to Create a Digital Product on Selar Using the File Manager

When creating a digital product (such as an ebook, video course, or downloadable file) on Selar, the File Manager helps you properly upload and select both your product image and product files.

This guide shows you how to do it correctly.


Step 1: Go to Product Creation

  • Click on the hamburger icon (☰) at the top right of your dashboard

  • Open the Products dropdown menu

  • Click “Add Product”


Step 2: Choose Digital Product

  • From the product options, select Digital Product

  • This is the option used for ebooks, courses, PDFs, videos, and downloadable content


Step 3: Add Product Image

A product image is what appears on your store when customers view your product.
It can be:

  • Ebook cover

  • Course banner

  • Flyer or promotional design

To upload your product image:

  • At the top of the product creation form, click “Upload Product Image”

  • A modal (popup) will appear



Step 4: Use the File Manager (Image Upload)

Inside the modal, you will see two tabs:

1. Upload Files Tab

Use this to add a new image.

  • Click Upload Files

  • Select an image from your device

Supported formats:

  • PNG

  • JPG / JPEG

  • GIF

  • SVG


2. File Library Tab

Use this to reuse previously uploaded images.

  • Go to File Library

  • You’ll see all previously uploaded files

  • Select your desired image using the radio button

  • Click “Select File”



Step 5: Add Your Digital Product File

Scroll down to the section where you set up buyer access to files.

You will see options like:

  • Give access to file

  • Read online

  • Download file

To upload/select your product file:

  • Click to open the File Manager again

  • You can either:

    • Upload a new file, or

    • Select from File Library

Supported file types include:

  • PDF (ebooks, guides)

  • Video files (courses, lessons)

  • Other downloadable digital assets



Step 6: Assign File Access Type

Choose how buyers will access your product:

  • Download file → For ebooks, PDFs, videos

  • Read online → For view-only content

  • Streaming/Video access → For courses or video content


Step 7: Create Your Product

Once everything is set:

  • Product image uploaded

  • Product file selected

  • All details filled correctly

Click “Create Product”

If any required field is missing, Selar will show an error message prompting you to complete it.
