This article covers a feature of Teachable Payments, our new payments experience powered by Stripe. Learn more.
On Teachable Payments, Teachable offers two types of upsells to help you promote additional products to your students:
Upsell type | Where it appears |
Checkout upsell (formerly order bumps) | On the checkout page, before purchase is complete |
In-lesson upsell | Embedded within a course lesson |
Checkout upsells
A checkout upsell allows students to add an additional product to their purchase with a single click — directly on the checkout page, before completing payment. You can add up to 10 checkout upsells per product.
Note: Subscription upsells on one-time payment products are not supported. Free products do not support checkout upsells as they have no checkout page.
Add a checkout upsell
Go to the Upsells tab of the product you want to add the upsell to.
Click Create checkout upsell.
Fill in the details:
Product — select the course, coaching product, digital download, or bundle to offer as the upsell
Pricing plan selections — select which pricing plan to display alongside the upsell, and which checkouts the upsell should apply to
Headline — the main text of the upsell offer
Description — a short description of what the student is getting
Check Publish and click Save.
How it works for students
When a student reaches checkout for a product with a published upsell, the upsell offer appears. If they click to add it, it is added to their order summary and charged as part of the same transaction. This product will be reflected on the invoice received by the buyer, as separate line items.
Note: Coupons applied to the main product do not apply to checkout upsells. Students already enrolled in the upsell product will not see the offer at checkout.
In-lesson upsells
An in-lesson upsell embeds a product offer directly within a course lesson. When a student clicks the call-to-action, they're taken to the checkout page for that product.
Add an in-lesson upsell
Go to the course curriculum and open the lesson you want to add the upsell to.
In the lesson editor, under Marketing Tools, click the Upsell block.
Select the product type and specific product from the dropdown menus.
Choose the Pricing Plan to offer.
Customize the headline and description in the Block Details section.
Click Save Upsell.
Note: If a pricing plan doesn't appear in the dropdown, the product may not have a paid pricing plan set up yet. Go to the product's Pricing tab to create one first.
