Think of a “Course” in Teachery just as a container for information. That information can easily be a downloadable product, like a PDF, or a link to a private Notion Template, etc.
If you’re using our original payment page template, follow these steps:
Create a new Course.
Link some text or an image that you add to one of the text areas at the top of your course Overview page (in the example below, an image in the right text block has been hyperlinked) to your downloadable item:
IF your downloadable product is under 50MB, you can host it with Teachery.
IF your downloadable product is larger than 50MB, upload your file to your own Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. cloud storage provider. Then, grab a share link for the file and hyperlink text (or an image) in Teachery to it!
Important: selling an audio file? These files work differently (e.g. they won’t automatically download if you’re hosting them in Teachery, unless you compress them into a .zip folder), please read this guide carefully.
Customize the course Overview page with additional text and add a header image, if you like (in the example below, there is a header image). As mentioned in step (2) above, this is where you’ll include a link to your digital product/downloadable item, as the course Overview page essentially serves as a confirmation or thank you page.
Optional: You don’t need to have any course lessons set up (unless you’d like to add any other useful content/resources for your customers or promote other offerings, etc.).
Optional: In the Landing Pages section of the left sidebar editor, create a landing/sales page using either our old template or our new page builder. If you build a landing/sales page, you’ll still need to complete the next step in order to capture payment. You don’t necessarily need a landing/sales page, you can build a simple one by just using our payment pages (next step).
In the Payment Pages section of the left sidebar editor, add a new Payment Page using our original payment page template, customize it, and set your price.
Finally, go into Course Emails section of the left sidebar editor and customize the welcome email as needed.
Pro-tip: Link to your digital download in the welcome email as well, so it’s easy for your customer to get access in the future. Note again that this is only necessary if you’re using our original payment page template.
Optional: Style the course with colors/fonts if you want. 
We strongly recommend testing the purchase workflow like any of your users would to ensure everything is working.
Then all you need to do is share the landing/sales page URL or the direct payment page URL (depending on your chosen setup) with your community and you're off!
(URLs can be found in the Actions menu at the top of the landing/sales page or payment page OR in the Course Links section of your course’s left sidebar editor.)
