The course sales funnel for paid ads
Run the sale through ElasticFunnels, keep the margin, and still use bumps, upsells and split tests on your own domain. Keep your LMS, or use the built-in members area.
You close the sale. They take a cut.
Some course platforms add a fee on top of card processing, lock the sales page to their template and stop at one product in, one payment out. No workbook bump, no coaching upsell.
Raise revenue per student
Add the workbook on checkout and offer coaching after the sale. The student never re-enters card details.
- Memberships, installment plans and dunning
- Retention offers when a card fails or a member cancels
- 0.5% on ElasticFunnels-hosted checkout
Test the offer, not your ads
Two price points, a bonus stack or none, a payment plan or single pay. Variants run server-side on one URL, so ad learning carries on.

Course sales funnel FAQ
Do I still need my course platform (LMS)?
Not necessarily. Every plan includes a members area with course delivery. You can also keep Teachable, Skool or Circle for the lessons and let ElasticFunnels own the sale path: presell pages, checkout, bumps, upsells and the student pages on your domain.
How does the 0.5% fee compare to bundled course platforms?
Some bundled platforms take 2% to 10% on top of card processing. ElasticFunnels charges 0.5% on revenue through its hosted checkout, so on $10k of sales that is about $50 instead of hundreds. 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, a bonus stack vs no bonus, or a payment plan vs single pay 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. The customer never re-enters card details, so you raise revenue per student without buying more traffic.
Can students hit custom pages before the lessons?
Yes. Build welcome, module map, resource, and bonus pages on your own domain, then link out to wherever the lessons actually play. You control every section instead of living inside a boxed student home.
