With Podia you have different offer types when setting up a product.

You can offer your products for free (or as a free email delivery - if it's a digital download), as a waitlist, or set up a price for them.

Changing your product's offer

Here's how to change your product's offer:

  1. From your Podia dashboard, click on Products in the sidebar menu.

  2. Click on Edit next to the product you want to set up an offer for.

  3. Once inside the product, navigate to the Pricing tab.

  4. Click on Edit to edit the offer of your product.

  5. Select between a Free, Free email delivery (digital downloads only), Waitlist, or Paid offer.

Note: If you haven’t connected a Stripe or PayPal account yet, you’ll need to do that before setting up a paid offer.

Click “Manage payment integrations,” follow the instructions, and then return to the “Pricing” tab to continue.

Let's take a look at each one of the different offer options:

  • Free

  • Free email delivery

  • Waitlist

  • Paid

Free

Allow people to sign up for your product for free.

A free offer requires people to have an account when signing up. Free products will be available for customers on their product dashboard.

You can add upsells for paid products in a free offer.

Free email delivery

For digital downloads, you can choose the Free Email Delivery option, which sends the file via email without requiring an account creation.

Waitlist

Creating a waitlist is a great way to gather email addresses from users interested in your product before it launches.

This option won’t collect payments or grant access to the product but will allow you to build a list of leads who are interested.

Paid offers will charge customers a specific amount during checkout before they can get access to your product.

You can set multiple paid offers for your product at the same time.

Available options are:

  • Single payment: set a one-time payment that customers must pay to gain access to the product .

  • Payment plan: lets customers split a purchase into smaller, scheduled payments over time instead of paying the full amount upfront.

  • Subscription: Charge customers on a monthly or yearly basis, giving them access to your product for as long as their subscription remains active.

Customer checkout experience

Customers will view the type of offer you've set for your product when checking out.

Free

Customers will be able to register for free.

Waitlist

Waitlist customers won't go through checkout.

Instead, they'll sign up for emails directly from email forms you've added to your site and product sales page.

Paid

Customers must pay to access the product.

If you’ve set multiple paid offers for your product, they’ll be able to choose their preferred one during checkout.

FAQs

If I change the price of an existing product, will that impact existing customers?

No. Changing the price of a product will only impact new customers.

Current customers - including the ones with an active payment plan - won't be affected.
