How to Configure Your Product and Attach a Course Offer
Follow these steps to create a new product and link it with a course offer.
Step 1: Access the Product Creation Page
Step 2: Fill in Product Information
The Product Information section is where you define the foundational details for your product. First, the “Include in Online Store” toggle allows you to determine whether this product should be visible and available for purchase through your online storefront. If you want your product to be publicly available, this toggle must remain enabled.
Next, the Title field is a required input where you name your product—this will be shown across your checkout, internal views, and potentially public listings. Below that, the Description field allows you to provide a detailed overview of the product, using rich text formatting options such as bold, italics, links, bullet points, and font customization to enhance readability and appeal.
The Media section lets you upload an image or video file to visually represent your product. This helps users quickly recognize what they’re buying. It’s recommended to upload files with a resolution of 1024×1024 and a size not exceeding 10MB for optimal display and performance.
There is also an Enable Product Label checkbox. If enabled, you can assign a custom label (e.g., “New,” “Top Pick,” etc.) to the product which may be used for visual badges or internal organization.
Lastly, the Product Collection dropdown lets you assign this product to an existing collection. Collections help group similar products together for better organization and presentation, especially when managing a larger catalog.
Step 3: Configure Tax Options
The Product Information section includes several key fields to define how the product is presented and taxed. One of the first elements here is the Product Tax Code, which allows you to select a specific tax category for your product. This is important for enabling automatic tax calculations during checkout. If left blank, the system will apply your default global tax settings.
Finally, the Statement Descriptor field allows you to override the default account name that appears on a customer’s bank statement. This ensures clarity for the buyer and can help reduce payment disputes or confusion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you create a recurring payment offer subscription and add X number of payments, the
subscription will END and be CANCELLED after the number of payments selected. If you want this subscription to run indefinitely until manually cancelled, please leave this field blank.
Step 5: Link the Product to a Membership Offer
Step 6: Add Product Variants
Step 7: Optimize Search Engine Settings
The Search Engine Listing section helps optimize your product for search engines and improves its discoverability online. In the SEO Title field, you can enter a concise and relevant title that clearly identifies the product and includes keywords users might search for. The SEO Description allows you to provide a brief summary of the product that also incorporates relevant keywords, enhancing visibility in search results. Lastly, the Handle defines the product’s unique URL slug (e.g., /product/my-course-name), which can be customized to make the link more readable and SEO-friendly. This section is optional but highly recommended for improving online reach.
Step 8: Save Your Product
Click the Save button in the bottom-right corner. Once saved, users who purchase this product will automatically gain access to the attached course offer.
