In this article, you will learn how to sell an online course using SystemeScale.

You will need:

A course created in SystemeScale (Learn how to create a course using SystemeScale)
A sales funnel (Learn how to create a new funnel)
An order form (Learn how to create an order form/payment page)

Configuring your order form

Access order form settings

In your sales funnel, click on your order form step. To add the course that you have created, select Digital product from the offer types on your payment page.

Create a digital product

Click on the + icon on the right side of the Digital Product section to create a new digital product. After creating a new digital product, you need to name it.

Add course as a resource

Click the + icon to add a resource to your offer. Select Courses, and then choose the specific course you want to sell from the dropdown menu.

Configuring access parameters

Select access type

Next, you must select the course access type. The following options are available depending on how the student should access the content:

A. Full access: Students gain complete access to all modules and lectures upon initial payment.
B. Partial access: Students will only 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.)

Setting custom access dates and expiration

You can also choose to grant access to your courses on a specific future date by activating this feature and selecting a date.

Example: If the customer enrolled in the course on January 20, 2026, but you specified the access date to be January 22, 2026, they will only have access to it starting on January 22, 2026.

You can also choose to set an expiration delay (in days) for your course.

If a specific access date is set, the course will no longer be available 30 days after it has been unlocked.
If no access date is specified, the course will no longer be available 30 days after purchase.

⚠️

Expiration Restriction

The expiration delay option is only available for courses configured with full or partial access. It cannot be used with drip content.

Finalizing the setup

Define pricing

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 Price plans section. (Learn more about creating a price plan).

⚠️

Important

It is essential to define a price plan before you can save your digital product. Otherwise, the Save button will remain grayed out, and you won't be able to save the product to the payment page.

Add tags (Recommended)

It is highly recommended to add a tag in the resources section to easily segment your new students from your other contacts. Click Save to finalize the digital product setup.

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

ℹ️

The Student Experience

When enrolled, your customers will automatically receive an email with instructions on how to set a password to access the course's membership area.

To provide a seamless experience, when a student clicks their course access link, they will be taken straight to that specific course immediately after logging in. If a user tries to log in but does not actually have access to the course, they will simply be redirected to their standard student dashboard.

Note: 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.

FAQ

Question: Can we customize the course access email sent to students?
