How to create and sell a physical product with systeme.io

In this article, you will learn the steps to create and sell a physical product with systeme.io.

Step 1: Create a physical product

1.1 Go to "Assets" and click on "Physical products".

1.2 Click on "Create" to start creating your physical product.

On the product creation page, provide the following information:

Name: the product's name
Description: the product's description
SKU: the stock keeping unit, which is a unique code that is assigned to a product to identify it
Product tax: the tax rate to charge your customers
Currency: the currency in which you want to sell your product
Price: the product's price
Weight: the product's weight
Inventory: the quantity of stock available for your product
Shipping: You can disable the shipping fees for your product.

You can also add product images that will be displayed on the site where you sell your products.

1.3 Add product options

To create an option for your product, you must create its name and values.

Here are some examples of options that a physical product can have :

Color (Black, Brown, Green)
Size (S, M, L)

IMPORTANT:

The total number of variants depends on the plan you have:

Free plan: 50 physical product variants
Startup plan: 100 physical product variants
Webinar plan: 250 physical product variants
Unlimited plan: There is no limit to physical product variants

When the options and values of a product are filled in, systeme.io will automatically create all the variants of the product. All you have to do is add the price for each variant if the price is different from the initial price of the product.

Example:

The following are the variants created for the option "Size" with a specific color "Black":

Black/S
Black/M
Black/L

Notes:

The SKUs for each variant will also be created automatically; however, you can edit them manually.
You can also put appropriate images for each variant.
You can delete variants or options, as well as modify them.
You can set up a limited stock for each variant of your physical product.

Step 2: Putting the product on sale

2.1 Create a funnel:

To create your funnel, go to the "Sales Funnels" tab and click on "Create".

Since this concerns the sale of a product, choose "Sell". You may also choose "Custom" if you want to create all the pages by yourself.

Name your funnel and then select the currency.

Note: the currency selected on the funnel must match the one you have configured a different currency in the product options.

To sell products, you need an order form and a thank you page (by selecting the Sell template, you'll already have these two pages in the funnel). You can also add an opt-in page, a sales page, and even upsell and downsell pages, according to your requirements.

2.2 Place the product in your funnel:

To begin, choose one of the available product templates. These templates can be found in the interface, on the right of your payment page.

Once you have decided on a template, another interface for your order form will appear, this time showing the step configuration, automation rules, and the editor to modify your page if needed.

Take a look at all the options to discover what you can do.

On this new interface, you will add the product you have created. To do so, choose "Physical product" between the two different types of offers on your order form.

Next, select the product you want to sell through this funnel, then click on "Save".

The list of physical products that will be displayed includes those with the same currency as the funnel.

Note 1: It is important to connect a payment method to your systeme.io account first.

These articles will help you connect the different payment gateways available on systeme.io and define your price afterward:

2.3 Edit your order form:

On the same page, click on "Edit page" to access the editor of the order form.

In the page editor, you can organize the elements as you wish, but first, we are interested in placing your product on the payment page.

Choose the location where you want to put your product.

Then, drag the "Physical Product" element on the left side of the editor in the "Payment" section, and drop it on the page.

All the information you added when you created your product will appear at the location of the "Physical Product" section.

After you have set up your product on the page, it's time to add the pricing. Drag and drop the "Offer price" element, which is also found in the "Payment" section.

Your product will be successfully placed and configured!

IMPORTANT: When you finish editing a page or make any other changes, remember to save by clicking "Save" in the top right corner of the page. Please note that there is no auto-saving in the page editor.

Finally, in your systeme.io account, you can find all the customer orders. To do this, go to "Sales" and then "Orders".

You will get an interface where you can find any order. You can search by date, type, or by choosing the status of the order or a particular product. You can use these settings individually or at the same time.

If you have any questions regarding the setup of your product, contact our support by clicking here.

Note: When contacting our customer support, specify the email address that was used when creating your account, as well as all the information related to your problem, which could help us solve it (name of the funnel, product...).

IMPORTANT: Systeme.io does not provide a way to help manage the shipping of physical products. After payment, you will be responsible for shipping the product to your customer.
