    name = models.CharField(max_length=120)

          <td>{{ order.ref_code }}</td>
          <td>
            {% for item in order.items.all %}
                {{ item.product.name }}

            {% endfor %}
          </td>
          <td>${{ order.get_cart_total }}</td>
          {% if product.download %}
          <td><a href='{{ product.download|filename }}'>Download</a></td>
          {% endif %}

        </tr>
      {% empty %}
        <tr>
          <td colspan= 4> You have no orders.</td>
        </tr>
      {% endfor %}

Am i missing something here i Cant get the download link to work though the download function is fine . What am intending is that if the product is purchased-----> go to my userprofile where in the profile user can be able to download it if it is a downlodable product. help out.

You should use {{ product.download.url }}
