Magento 2 Product Attachments

Attach PDF manuals, datasheets and links to Magento 2 products

Buyers of technical products often want the user manual, the spec sheet or a certificate before they order. Magento can sell downloadable products and lets you paste a file link into a description, but it has no way to manage a list of files across your catalog.

Product Attachments adds that list. Upload a file or add a URL once, link it to as many products, categories and CMS pages as you need, and the extension shows it to customers with a file icon, a label and the file size. You decide:

• where files appear: a product tab with your own name and position, the category sidebar, CMS pages and the home page, or anywhere else with a widget
• who can see and download them: by customer group and store view (for example, the language or country version of your store), so a wholesale price list stays with wholesale customers
• how you add them: one at a time from the product page, several files in one upload, or a CSV import for the whole catalog

Each attachment counts its downloads, so you can see which documents customers actually open.

It works with Luma and Hyvä themes, and its storefront and admin are translated into 15 languages.

Some products, like consumer electronics, are hard to sell without documentation: a user manual, a spec sheet, a comparison table. Attach the PDF to the product, and customers find the answer on the page instead of writing to your support team.

The same works for proof of trust. If you hold security or quality certificates or are an authorized dealer, attach the document so customers don't have to take your word for it. Stores selling in the EU can also keep product safety documents and instructions next to the product they belong to.

An attachment can be a file (PDF, DOC, XLSX, ZIP, images, video and more) or a link to an external page, such as a video or a manufacturer's spec page.

Every attachment has its own customer groups and store views. Customers outside them don't see the file in the list, and the download link checks the same rules: a guest who copies the link to a restricted file gets a "not found" page instead of the file.

Use it to:

• share a wholesale price list or dealer datasheets with B2B customer groups only
• show logged-in customers files you don't want to make public, such as installation guides or firmware
• keep different documents for different store views, for example a manual in the language of each store

You can also switch any attachment off without deleting it.

Adding files one by one doesn't scale when you have hundreds of products. The extension gives you three faster ways:

• Multiple upload. Upload several files at once with the same settings; each file becomes its own attachment.
• CSV import and export. Download the CSV template, list files with the products, categories and CMS pages they belong to, validate the file and import it. Export works the same way, so you can edit attachments in a spreadsheet. The user guide lists the CSV columns.
• Cloud media storage. Import and export also work on stores that keep media in remote storage such as Amazon S3, MinIO and Google Cloud Storage.

Pages with many files stay fast: a product with 12 attachments needs 4 database queries instead of 27 in earlier versions.

When the same PDF is available on several store views, search engines can find several copies of it. The extension can send a canonical header with every file, pointing to the store view you choose, so search engines index one version.

The attachments grid shows how many times each file was opened today, in the last 30 days and over its lifetime. Use it to see which manuals and certificates customers actually read, and which files nobody opens.
