Shape Software is a CRM that helps you manage contacts and track interactions. Every Easy Digital Downloads sale should flow into Shape Software automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

The direct approach

AFI delivers order data straight from WordPress to Shape Software. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

  • A WordPress site with Easy Digital Downloads installed and configured.
  • A Shape Software account.
  • The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Shape Software to AFI

  1. Log in to your Shape Software account.
  2. Copy your API Key from settings.
  3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Shape Software.
  4. Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Easy Digital Downloads to Shape Software.

2. Pick your trigger

Select Easy Digital Downloads as the form provider. AFI fires when a purchase is completed, giving you access to customer details, product information, payment data, and download links.

3. Select Shape Software as the destination

Choose Shape Software from the platform dropdown and pick Add Lead. This creates a lead in Shape Software.

4. Map fields

Match each Shape Software field on the left to the corresponding Easy Digital Downloads field on the right. Common mappings include customer name, email, product details, and order total. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain purchases? Set up a conditional rule. For example, only sync completed payments or specific products.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Place a test purchase in your Easy Digital Downloads store. Check Shape Software to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps name, email, and phone to Shape Software with unlimited orders. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-order fees on any plan.
