Bought an Etsy digital download as a guest? Check the receipt email first.
Buying a digital worksheet without an Etsy account can feel confusing because there is no Purchases page to open. Etsy says that if you purchased an instant digital download as a guest, the download link is in the receipt email sent after purchase. This guide helps you search the right inbox before assuming the file is gone.
Keep the page small. Write short answers. If a prompt feels too much, skip it and choose the next smallest step.
Search the email account used at checkout for Etsy, receipt, order, View your files, Download Files, transaction@account.etsy.com, and noreply@etsy.com.
Check spam or junk, and if you use Gmail, check Social and Promotions tabs.
Confirm whether the listing was instant download or made-to-order before expecting the file immediately.
If it was instant download, open the receipt email and use the download link from that message.
If it was made-to-order, wait for the seller's completion email or message and check the stated delivery window.
If you no longer have access to the email used for checkout, message the seller directly with the order context and ask how they can send the files.
After downloading, save the ZIP, PDF, or HTML worksheet folder somewhere obvious so you do not have to rely only on the email later.
