digital good

Downloadable purchased item

A digital good is a product that exists only as data—software, ebooks, music files, video games, online courses.

Unlike physical goods, digital goods can be copied infinitely at near-zero cost and delivered instantly: She sells digital goods through her Etsy shop.

The term distinguishes downloadable or streaming products from tangible merchandise.
