Wholesale Catalogues
Huge price lists and collections become a digital magazine. Buyers flip through the pages instead of downloading a PDF.
For Shopify merchants
Let shoppers flip through your catalogue before they buy.
Upload a PDF once and Easy PDF Flipbook turns it into a smooth, page-turning digital magazine right on your product page. No plugins for your customers, no downloads, no leaving the page.
Live on the Shopify App Store. Start on the free plan - no card needed.
From setup to the first magazine in two minutes: switching it on in your theme, uploading a PDF, attaching it to a product, and reading it on the storefront.

Screenshots
This is how it looks in your store.
Every screen inside these frames comes from the app's own code, and the admin wording is the app's real copy.
One Page At A Time On Phones, Pinch To Zoom
A two page spread is unreadable on a small screen. On phones the viewer switches to a single page; swipe to turn, pinch to zoom.
That decision is made from the real width of the layout, not from a guess about the device - the guessing method reports the wrong number on themes without a viewport tag.
How it works
Three steps from setup to your first magazine.
Easy PDF Flipbook runs on Shopify's Theme App Extension framework. You never touch theme code and you do not need a developer.
1
Upload Your PDF
Upload your catalogue to the PDF Library in the admin. The file goes straight from your browser into your own Shopify Files; it never passes through our servers.
2
Attach It To Products
One PDF can appear on several products, and a single product can carry several PDFs. You can also attach one from the block on the Shopify product screen.
3
Shoppers Flip Through It
A button appears below the product images. The shopper taps it and the magazine opens - no download, no leaving the page.
Display mode
Three ways to open it, per store or per product.
You pick the default for your store once, and you can override it on any single product.
1
Pop-up Over The Page
The fastest one, and the shopper never leaves the product page. This is the default.
2
New Tab, On Your Own Domain
Full screen reading at your own store address. Our name never appears in the address bar.
3
On The Page
The magazine sits right below the product images. No click needed at all.
Features
Built for the products that need to be seen inside.
Books and sample chapters. Furniture and lighting catalogues. Look books. Technical drawings and spec sheets. Wine lists and menus. Anything where the inside sells the outside.
Add To Cart Without Leaving The Magazine
The product name, the live price and an Add to cart button sit at the top of the viewer. The shopper buys the moment they decide, with no trip back to the product page.
Embed Code For Pages, Blogs And Other Sites
Copy a code for any PDF and paste it into a Shopify page, a blog post, a Custom Liquid section or an outside site. It draws the same button and opens the magazine in a full screen window. On the Free plan a small Easy PDF link sits under the button; paid plans remove it.
PDF Cover In The Product Gallery
The first page of your PDF becomes a product image with a PDF badge, and tapping it opens the magazine. The catalogue sits right where shoppers are already looking.
Collection And Page Block
The magazine is not limited to product pages. Show it on the collections and pages you choose, as a button or at full width. The theme editor opens with the block already added, so you only click Save.
Bulk Linking By Collection Or Tag
Link one PDF to the active products of a collection or tag in a single action. Each run handles up to 500 products, and your plan's product limit still applies.
Existing PDF Links Open As Magazines
On Starter and above, one switch makes the .pdf links in your product descriptions, pages and blog posts open as a magazine. Only files on Shopify or your own store address are converted.
PDF Links And Hotspots
Web, email and page links inside your PDF stay clickable in the magazine. On Starter and above you can draw areas on a page and send them to a link, a product or Add To Cart.
Contents And Text Search
The PDF's own table of contents opens as a panel, and shoppers can search the document text. They find what they need without turning hundreds of pages. Scanned pages have no text to search.
Page Links And Sharing
The Share button creates a link that opens the magazine on that exact page. Nobody has to explain where in the catalogue to look.
Thumbnails, Zoom, Full Screen
A page panel, click and pinch zoom, full screen and keyboard arrows on every plan. Download and print are two separate switches, so you decide which of them shoppers get.
Right To Left Reading
Pages turn right to left for Arabic, Hebrew and Persian documents. You change the reading direction with one setting.
Automatic Turning And Page Sound
Pages can turn on their own at the pace you set. It stops when the shopper touches the page and stays off for those who reduce motion. A page-turn sound is optional.
Password Gate For Each PDF
On Starter and above you can give each PDF its own password, and the magazine stays closed until it is entered. This is a reading gate, not content protection. For a PDF in Shopify Files, anyone who knows or guesses the file name can reach the file without the gate; Easy PDF storage (Growth and above) gives an address that cannot be guessed.
Email Lead Form
On Starter and above a PDF can ask for an email before it opens, with an optional name field and consent checkbox. Emails are listed per PDF, with CSV download and delete. You are the data controller. This is a reading gate, not content protection: anyone who knows or guesses the file name can reach the file without it.
Reader Analytics
See opens, page views, link clicks and Add To Cart in the admin. The Free plan shows totals for the last 30 days; Starter and above add date ranges, numbers for each PDF and the most read pages. No personal data is stored.
A Button That Looks Like Your Store
Label, style, size, width, alignment, corner radius, four colours, text weight and seven icons. The live preview and the storefront button are drawn by the same code.
A Viewer In 12 Languages
The viewer follows your store language: English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Danish, Japanese and Slovenian. The admin is in English and Turkish, and you write the button label yourself.
Fast, Even With Big Catalogues
Pages stream in as the shopper reads, so a 200 page catalogue opens as quickly as a 4 page one. A visitor who never opens the flipbook downloads about 8 KB.
Your Files Stay Yours
By default PDFs are stored in your own Shopify Files, and uninstalling the app never deletes them. On Growth and Unlimited you can also choose Easy PDF storage for files above 20 MB, up to 200 MB.
Quick start
Your first setup takes a few minutes.
After you install the app, the four step list on the admin home screen walks you through this order.
-
Open The App From Your Shopify Admin
Go to
Apps → Easy PDF Flipbook. The home screen with the setup steps opens. -
Switch The Theme Embed On
Open the theme editor, switch on the Easy PDF Flipbook app embed and save. While it is off nothing loads on your storefront - that is a deliberate safety gate.
-
Upload Your PDF
Go to the PDF Library and upload your file. The status turns Ready within a few seconds.
-
Attach It To Products
On the Products screen pick the PDF, then pick the products you want it to appear on.
-
Design The Button
On the Design screen set the label, colour, size and icon. The preview on the right updates as you type.
-
Check It On Your Storefront
Open the product page, tap the button, watch the magazine open. If anything looks off, go back to the Design screen.
Pricing
The viewer is the same on every plan; plans differ in capacity and merchant tools.
All payments are billed through your Shopify invoice and you can cancel at any time.

What stands out
What makes Easy PDF stand out
Discover the powerful, distinctive capabilities merchants use to stand out in their own stores.
Past The 20 MB Limit
On Growth and Unlimited, high resolution lookbooks upload at up to 200 MB without losing quality. No compressing to fit Shopify's file size limit.
A Button That Matches Your Brand
Colour, icon, size and placement are set from the admin. The button lands under your product images on its own.
Starting On The Free Plan
Five PDFs is enough to try it properly. Setup takes minutes; you move up once you see it working.
Reading On A Phone
Phones show one page at a time with swipe to turn and pinch to zoom. Desktop opens a two page spread.
Setup Without Code
One switch in the theme editor. Where the button sits and how it opens are chosen from the admin.
Speed With Heavy Files
The magazine is read page by page, so the first page appears before the whole file arrives. A 200 page catalogue opens just as fast.
Product Manuals
The manual opens in a window on the product page. The customer never leaves, and the same questions reach support less often.
Fashion And High Resolution
Seasonal lookbooks stay at full resolution. Fabric texture and colour do not disappear into a compressed PDF.
Page Turning
Drag the corner and the page turns like a real magazine. If the engine fails to load it falls back to scrolling, and the magazine still opens.
One Click Upgrades
Start free, upgrade in one click when five files run out. The PDFs you already uploaded stay where they are.
Three Ways To Open
A window, a new tab, or inline on the page. Manuals suit the window; long catalogues suit full page reading.
Appearance Settings
Button width, corner radius, icon and hover colour are each configurable, with a live preview in the admin.
Knowing What Is Left
The admin shows how many PDFs and how much space are in use. Hitting the limit is never a surprise.
Digital Publishing
Put the first chapter up as a preview and sell the rest. Heavy files sit on Easy PDF's side, so your store speed is untouched.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Didn't find your answer? Reach us from our contact page.
Where are my PDFs stored?
By default, in your own Shopify Files - under Content → Files in your Shopify admin. We store the link, never the file, and if you uninstall the app your PDFs stay exactly where they are. On Growth and Unlimited you can choose Easy PDF storage for files above 20 MB; those files are held by us and are deleted after you uninstall.
Will it slow my product pages down?
No. A visitor who never opens the flipbook downloads about 8 KB. The viewer itself is only fetched when someone actually taps the button, and the PDF is read page by page from Shopify's own CDN.
Can I put the button somewhere else?
Yes. By default it appears just below the product images. You can turn that off and place the Easy PDF block wherever you like in the theme editor, or point it at a CSS selector of your choosing. Outside product pages, use the collection and page block or the embed code.
Does it work with my theme?
It is built to. The button carries its own styling, so a reset rule in your theme cannot erase it, and the automatic placement falls back through several common theme structures. If your theme is unusual, place the block by hand or send us a CSS selector.
What happens if I downgrade?
Nothing is deleted. PDFs above your new limit stay in your library but stop showing to shoppers, and they reappear when you move back up. On the Free plan hotspot data is kept but not published, and PDFs with a password or lead form are hidden rather than opened to everyone. If you want to free a slot you have to delete something for real - that is deliberate.
Can I use it to sell gated or paid documents?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Shopify file addresses are not secret: they contain the file name, so anyone who guesses the name or has the link can open the file. A password or lead form does not change that. This app is built for product previews, not for distributing paid or members-only documents.
Do scanned catalogues open?
Yes. The JPEG2000 and JBIG2 image decoders that scanned magazines usually need are bundled. Known limit: text may be missing in Chinese, Japanese or Korean PDFs that carry no embedded font.
Can one product carry more than one PDF?
Yes. A single product can carry a whole multi volume set, and the same PDF can appear on several products. You decide which title the shopper sees.
Where can I paste the embed code?
In a Custom Liquid section in the theme editor (recommended), in the HTML view of a Shopify page or blog post, or on another site that allows a
<script> tag. It is on every plan and your PDF limit applies. If you later save that page or post in the normal text view, Shopify removes the tag and you paste the code again.Can a PDF go into the product gallery?
Yes. The first page of the PDF is added as the last product image with a PDF badge, and tapping it opens the magazine. Move it to first and it also shows on product cards in collections and search. If you uninstall the app the cover stays as a regular product image, so remove it first if you do not want to keep it. Covers cannot be added to a PDF with a password or lead form.
Does a password or lead form protect my file?
No. The password is a reading gate, not content protection. While it is on, the app leaves the file address out of your product page and embed code and gives it only after the check. But the address of a PDF in Shopify Files contains its file name, so anyone who knows or guesses the file name can open it without the gate. Easy PDF storage (Growth and above) gives an address that cannot be guessed; anyone given that address can still open it. A reader who passes the gate can download the file. The gallery cover is removed when a password or lead form is turned on. Available on Starter and above.
Does reader analytics collect personal data?
No. The numbers are daily totals per PDF. No IP address, cookie or customer identity is stored, so one open does not mean one unique reader. Admin previews, the theme editor and embed code are not counted. The Free plan shows totals for the last 30 days; Starter and above show the full screen.
Do the PDF links already on my store become magazines?
On Starter and above, yes. Turn on the switch on the Design screen and
.pdf links in product descriptions, pages and blog posts open as a magazine. Only files on Shopify or your own store address are converted; PDFs on other sites open as before. It is off by default and needs the app embed to be on.Which languages does it support, and can it read right to left?
The viewer runs in 12 languages and follows your store language; other languages fall back to English. The admin is in English and Turkish. Arabic, Hebrew and Persian documents have a right to left reading setting.
