Questions

Answers before you ask.

Median end-to-end — order paid to signed link in the buyer's inbox — is 1.4 seconds. Fraud scan, file resolution, link signing and SMTP hand-off happen in parallel. If the buyer refreshes the thank-you page, the link is already there.
Every order is scored against 40+ signals — AVS mismatch, VPN/proxy detection, device fingerprint, chargeback history, email age, CVV checks and more. High-risk orders auto-hold before the file is delivered. Your team approves or rejects in one click. False-positive rate across our merchant base is 0.4%.
Yes. Shared drive folders, members-only pages, live class seats, editable source files — any private URL can become a Shopify product. Links are gated per order, signed, IP-locked and expirable, with auto-revoke on refund.
Yes to all three. Bundles attach every nested file. Subscriptions re-issue a fresh signed link on each renewal. Markets-localised products share files automatically; currency and tax follow the store configuration.
Yes — wedding invitations, custom portraits, photo edits, logo design, engraving files. Collect the brief at checkout, track the order through a built-in production workflow, upload the final file, and Alva auto-delivers the moment you hit send.
Edit every line of the template with dynamic variables (shop name, first name, license key, etc.) and preview in real time. Your logo, your palette, your sender address — no code, no HTML templating.
Auto-generate per order or bulk-import an existing pool. Revoke or reissue on refund. Every delivery email is tracked end-to-end — sent, opened, clicked, downloaded — with per-recipient timelines.
