# Checkout Settings (/docs/checkout-settings)
The **Checkout Pages** section in Imprint is your gateway to offering instant downloads.
Think of this page as a "launchpad." Since the actual checkout design is controlled securely by Shopify, you won't edit the layout here directly. Instead, this page guides you on how to enable our **Digital Files Checkout Extension**.
On the Free plan, this page shows an upgrade banner and the setup steps are locked.

## Why enable the Checkout Extension? [#why-enable-the-checkout-extension]
By default, customers have to wait for an email to get their files. By adding this extension, you upgrade their experience significantly:
- **Instant Gratification:** Customers can access files instantly after purchase, right on the "Thank you" page.
- **A Place to Come Back To:** The same block on the "Order status" page in your customer accounts lets customers download their files again later.
- **Fewer Support Emails:** Since they don't have to check their spam folder for a download link, they are less likely to email you asking "Where is my file?".
- **Dual Delivery:** This works alongside email delivery, ensuring there is always a backup way for customers to get their goods.
