How to Create Custom Download Link in Magento 2
Magento 2 CMS is a widely suited platform for various types of online businesses.
Owing to the features it offers and capabilities of customization, the CMS is popular among the store owners. Today, I will talk about one such feature that can be developed using the below code and how a business owner can use it.
For example, default Magento 2 allows importing-exporting data on the admin side by selecting ‘Entity Type’ from System > Data Transfer > Import. It offers one link named “Download Sample File.” It automatically downloads a CSV file when you click on that link.
Now, what if you want to create custom download link in Magento 2 to allow your customers to download some sample data file or any document from the frontend?
You can allow the visitors to download a privacy policy or product user guide or any custom file that has information they need to know.
In all such cases, you can use the below solution:
