Step 1: Configure your order form

1.1. Navigate to your desired funnel then click on your "Order form" (#1 in the image below).

1.2. Choose the offer type. In this case, it will be a Digital product. (#2 in the image below).

1.3. Next, under the "Resources" section, hit the "+" button (#1 in the image below). 

1.4. Choose "Course" as the type of resource (#2 in the image below).

1.5. Click on the title of the course you want to sell (#3 in the image below).

A: Full access: The student will have access to the entire course upon the first payment.
B: Drip content: The student will have access to your course gradually according to the time you have configured for the lectures/modules of your course.

Granting specific day access and setting expiration dates

You can grant access to your courses on a specific date and also set a date when access to your courses will expire. 

Note: These options are only available if you select "Full access" for your access type.

In the example below, customers will not get access to the course until the 10th of February, 2023. And their access will expire in 30 days. 

Once you're satisfied with your configurations, the final step is to hit the "save" button to save your changes. (#1 in the image below.)
