Order gifts for course and digital product sellers
A buyer of an online course, template or e-guide gets cloud storage, photo printing or a music subscription. AI won't show other authors' courses, e-books or language apps.
What your customers will see
People buy a digital product to start right away: to learn, edit, write. Gifts that help put the new skill to use, like cloud storage for files, printing first results and music for focus, are used the same evening.

What a digital product buyer does
A digital product is opened right away: a course, a template, a guide. The buyer is in "getting started" mode: launching a lesson, installing a program, opening a file. They need tools to work with, not another course.
Cloud storage and work software fit right away. Photo printing helps when the result can be printed, like photos or designs. Music for focus plays in the background. AI hides other authors' courses, e-books and language apps.
Example calculation for a digital product seller
Digital products have no shipping, so there can be a lot of orders. Say there are 1,200 a month, 10% of buyers pick a gift (120 buyers), and 15% of those follow through (18 buyers), for example by signing up for cloud storage, subscribing or ordering prints. The payout in this example is €8 per new customer.
18 buyers × €8 = €144, and your 60% is €86.40. Income from the block needs no separate traffic spend: the buyer is already on your page. The numbers are illustrative.
How to set up gifts for a digital product seller
Digital orders have no shipping, but WooCommerce still shows the thank-you page and sends an email, and the block works on both.
- Keep software and services, photo printing and music.
- Match the course topic: photo printing suits photographers, and for other topics switch off what's irrelevant.
- Check that online courses, e-books and languages are hidden.
- Open the email: the access link to your course should stay in plain view, with the block reading below it.
- Place a test order with a digital product.

Digital products & courses: questions
I have no shipping, only digital orders. Does the plugin work?
Yes. The block shows on the thank-you page and in the order confirmation email of any paid WooCommerce order, including virtual and downloadable products.
Aren't a photography course and photo printing competitors?
No, photo printing doesn't teach shooting. For a photography course it's a logical bonus: print your first good shots.
I sell language courses. What changes?
"Language learning" is already hidden for this niche. For language courses, AI will most likely rank travel and streaming higher.
I sell courses on WooCommerce with a membership plugin. Does the block work?
The block appears on the standard thank-you page and in the WooCommerce email. If the membership plugin replaces the page, check with a test order.
Buyers get access through a link in the email. Won't the block get in the way?
It comes after the receipt, and the access link stays where it is. Check with a test order.
I sell programming courses. Aren't cloud and software competitors?
Cloud storage and tools don't teach, they complement. If you sell templates or software yourself, switch off "Software & services".
What does it cost?
Nothing. The plugin is free and advertisers pay. Your store gets 60% of the partner payout for every qualifying customer action: a sign-up, subscription or purchase.
Will customers go to my competitors?
No. The AI analysis hides categories that overlap with your catalog: a shoe store will never show a shoe discount. You can also blocklist any domain.
What data do partners get?
No personal data. Your customer's name, email, address and phone number are never shared with ThanklyClub or with advertisers. Matching uses order product categories, order value range, country and language.
