Configuring your order form

In your sales funnel, first click on your payment page, then once on this page, you will add the course that you have created. To do this, you must choose "Digital product" between the two different types of offers on your payment page. (number 1 in the image)

Then, click on the " + " icon on the right side of the "Digital Product" section to create a new digital product. (number 2 in the image)

After creating a new digital product, you need to enter its name in the 'Digital Product Name' field. (number 3 in the image). Then, click on the "+Add" icon to be able to add a resource to your offer, then select "Courses", and choose the title of the course that you want to sell. (number 4 in the image)

Next, select the course access type. (number 5 in the image)

The following options are available depending on how the student should have access to the course:

A. Full access: Students gain complete access upon initial payment.

B. Partial access: Students will be able to access specific modules selected by the instructor.

C. Drip content: Students access course lectures gradually based on the delay set by the instructor. Example: Every week (every 7 days), the customer will have access to a new lecture.

You can also choose to grant access to your courses on a specific date by activating this feature and selecting a date. (number 6 in the image)

Example: If the customer enrolled in the course on 30/03/2025, but we specified the access date to be 08/04/2025, they will only have access to it starting on 08/04/2025.

You can choose to set an expiration delay (in number of days) for your course. (number 7 in the image)

Example: If you were to set an expiration delay of 30 days:

  1. If there is a specific date for unlocking, the course will no longer be available 30 days after it has been unlocked.
  2. If no unlocking date was specified, the course will no longer be available 30 days after purchase.

Note: This option is only available for courses with full or partial access.

After adding a resource to your order form, you need to create a price for your offer by clicking on the icon " + " to the right of the section "Price plans" to add a new price. (number 8 in the image)

Note: It is essential to define a price to save the creation of your digital product by clicking on "Save". Without this, it will remain grayed out, and you will not be able to save your digital product on the payment page. (number 9 in the image)

It is recommended to add a tag in the resources to easily distinguish your customers from your contacts. (number 10 in the image)

Upon completing these configuration steps, you're now ready to sell your courses.

  2. If you already have a digital product and want to use it again, simply search for it among the existing digital products by clicking on "Select" and choosing one of the products on the list.
