How to set the download limit as default for all downloadable products?

Hello @lsingh ,

It looks like there are no hooks available to modify this default behavior.

This is defined where WC_Product extends WC_Abstract_Legacy_Product. You will see a data array with an item like this – 'download_limit' => -1,.

You can look at our code reference for get_download_limit() and get_download_expiry() details.

This is a fairly complex development topic. I’m going to leave it open for a bit to see if anyone is able to chime in to help you out.

You can also visit the WooCommerce Facebook group or the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers hang out there, as well.

If you need a paid solution, you can consider taking help from one of our partner’s website.

Thank you ??

@lsingh did you ever find a solution for this? Like you I am trying to set a default download limit so it isn’t forgotten when adding new products. I’m astounded there isn’t an option for this under WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products -> Downloadable Products.
