Sell your course and teach it here
Your course sales funnel and the course itself, on your own domain: sales pages, checkout, bumps and upsells, then lessons in a course portal. Prefer your own pages or LMS? ElasticFunnels runs the sale and the access in front of them.
A checklist from idea to published course
Start with one choice: the ElasticFunnels course portal, or your own pages or app. Then the Overview walks you through the rest.
- Describe the course and add lessons
- Choose what unlocks it: link products, or make it free
- Preview as a student, drafts included, then publish
Video, audio, text and files in every lesson
Add a featured video by link, upload or embed code, or an audio track. Below it, write the lesson with images, numbered steps and a key details box.
- Embeds from YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Wistia, Bunny Stream and Miro
- Downloadable files and takeaways on each lesson
- Comments under every lesson
Two portal designs to start from
Each kit gives students a course library, a course page with progress and the next lesson, and a lesson player.
- Course portal: white, with one accent colour from your brand. The default.
- Course portal, bold: yellow and black, with numbered modules
- Customize the pages for one course without touching the rest
A high-ticket course funnel, ready to edit
The Course sales funnel kit sets up the whole sale: a sales page with video, a checkout with an order bump, a coaching upsell and downsell, and a thank-you page that sends buyers into the course.
- Bumps and one-click upsells on Stripe, NMI and PayPal checkouts
- Buying the course, or a linked upsell, enrolls the student
- Matches the bold portal design
Access that follows the payment
A purchase enrolls the buyer and sends one welcome email with the way in. A refund or chargeback takes the access back, with nobody editing a list by hand.
- Cancelled subscriptions keep access until the paid period ends, or follow the rule you pick
- Students: search, progress, where each enrollment came from, private notes
- Revoke or restore access for one student
Test the offer, not your ads
Two price points, a bonus stack or none, a short or a long sales letter. Variants run server-side on one URL, so ad learning carries on while you compare conversion rates.

Revenue by source, campaign and funnel, so you know which ads to scale before the next launch.

Course creators FAQ
Do I still need my course platform (LMS)?
Not for lessons, files and comments. ElasticFunnels delivers the course in a portal on your domain. If you prefer your own site, app or LMS, choose My own pages or app and ElasticFunnels runs the sale and the access in front of it.
What happens to course access after a refund?
A refund or chargeback revokes the enrollments that sale granted. A cancelled subscription keeps access until the paid period ends by default. You can also cut access right away or let students keep it.
How does the 0.5% fee compare to bundled course platforms?
Some bundled course platforms add a transaction fee on top of card processing, especially on their lower plans. ElasticFunnels charges 0.5% on revenue through its hosted checkout. Card processing is separate on both sides.
Can I split test my sales page and pricing?
Yes. Same-URL split testing runs variants server-side, so you can test two price points or a bonus stack against none without changing your URL or resetting ad learning.
Can I add order bumps and upsells to a course sale?
Yes. Add a workbook bump on the checkout page and offer coaching or a higher tier as a one-click upsell after the sale. Buying either one can enroll the student in a linked course.
Can I see the course the way a student sees it?
Yes. Preview as student opens the course as an enrolled student sees it, drafts included, so you can check every lesson before you publish.
