Quick answer
A digital product is something a buyer receives electronically rather than as a physical item: a file, a set of files, or access to online content like a course. It is produced once and can be sold to many buyers without being remade each time.
Templates, ebooks, spreadsheets, design assets, and online courses are all digital products. What they share is delivery: the buyer downloads a file or gets access to content, instead of receiving something shipped to them.
Because there is no physical unit to manufacture per sale, a digital product's cost structure looks different from a physical one: most of the work happens once, up front, in creating it.
