My local shop offers our playing area and often stays open late to allow us to play/finish scenarios. As a result, I like to purchase my paizo products from them to support them and as a thank you. However, if I purchase them from the paizo site, I'd get the product and a pdf.
Is there any way you can create a number in the store products that you can register on the paizo web to register your product and "unlock" a copy of a pdf? The pdf is useful when you don't want to lug around cartons of book products.
Has there been any thought to this? Thanks...

I think that Paizo gives the PDF as an incentive to buy straight from them.
While I love to support my FLGS too, I think Paizo has a fair marketing point in giving the PDF's with purchase of books from their own store.
Not to mention setting up a system to track actual Paizo product purchases and registering them at Paizo from third party dealers would be a freaking nightmare that I am sure would end up costing Paizo far more money that it would be worth.
Just seems that it makes shopping at the LGS a bit of a disadvantage...
It's kind of a nitty point, but just to be clear in case someone misunderstands and spends money they didn't mean to - paizo don't offer free PDFs for a generic purchase of a book, it has to be purchased through a subscription.
For example - as a subscriber to the module line, when a new module comes out I get a hard copy and a PDF - if I back order one of the older modules, I just get the hard copy.
Thanks for clearing it up, but it's a moot point at this moment. I will continue to support my local shop going forward. Still waiting on my Golem sale stuff from October 4, 2014. It still hasn't shipped and it's been a month. At least at my local store, I get my item when I walk out.
On the bright side, Paizo had a great response from the sale since they're so back up at the moment :)

Shouldn't be much longer. I got my Golem sale flip maps Monday.
