Description

Easy Digital Downloads – Variable Pricing Descriptions adds an “Option Description” field for each variable-priced download. This allows you to add a longer description to the option name if needed.

Additionally, you can choose to show the descriptions on the checkout and receipt pages.

Styling

Variable Pricing Descriptions does not include any custom CSS, so it doesn’t impact your page speed and should work with any theme! If you wish to cusotmize the look and feel of the descriptions, you can use the included edd-variable-pricing-desc class to target the descriptions.

It is great. Just the description for me was added to the top-right of the pricing, not to the bottom.Maybe the problem is with the Astra theme. I fixed it with these additional CSS codes: .edd_price_options li {display: flex;flex-direction: column;} .edd_price_options li label {order: 1;} .edd_price_options li .edd-variable-pricing-desc {order: 2;}.edd_price_options li label,.edd_price_options li .edd-variable-pricing-desc {text-align: left !important;width: 100%;}
