Gated Downloads Pro
Premium add-on for Gated Downloads — custom fields, integrations, autoresponders, popup triggers, double opt-in and protected download links.
Updated August 6, 2026
Overview
Gated Downloads Pro extends the free plugin with everything needed to turn captured leads into automated, protected, marketing-ready workflows — without touching a line of code.
Pro is a separate add-on. It attaches only through the free plugin’s public hook API, so the free plugin keeps updating and Pro keeps working. The free Gated Downloads plugin is required.
Pro features
- Popup triggers — open any capture form on a time delay, scroll depth or exit intent, with a frequency cap and page-targeting rules
- Lead lists — group leads by audience, campaign or source, then filter and export just that list
- Double opt-in — the file, download email and locked content stay held until the visitor clicks a signed, expiring confirmation link
- Per-form custom fields — Text, Textarea and Dropdown, each with an optional Required flag
- Email marketing — Mailchimp, Brevo, FluentCRM and MailPoet (the last two run on your own site: no API key, no outbound request)
- Conversion tracking — report leads and downloads to GA4, Google Tag Manager and the Meta Pixel
- Download limits — cap how many times a protected link may be used; set it to 1 for a true one-time download
- Zapier — send every new lead to 7,000+ apps via a guided Catch Hook setup
- Conversion analytics dashboard — 30-day funnel, leads-per-day trend, per-form conversion rates
- Webhooks — POST every new lead to any URL
- Autoresponder — write your own download email with {name} {file} {file_url} {site} placeholders
- Protected / expiring download links — HMAC-signed, time-limited URLs; local files streamed with the real path hidden
- reCAPTCHA v3 — invisible, score-based spam protection
- All lead data stays in your WordPress database

Frequently asked questions
How do I get the files after paying?
Checkout runs through Freemius. The moment payment completes your download links are delivered instantly — on screen and by email.
Can I try it before I commit?
Yes — the live preview is the real product running, not a mockup. Click through it as much as you like before deciding.
How many sites does a licence cover?
That is set by the plan you choose at checkout — each Freemius plan states exactly how many sites it covers, and you can move up to a larger plan later.
Where do I get help?
Setup notes ship inside the download, and you can contact us directly for anything else — every product is built and supported in-house by TemplateSell.
