Gift category
Online courses as a gift with the order
A course on the topic of the purchase helps the customer get more out of what they bought: coffee goes with a barista course, a camera with a photography course. The partner pays for each new student.
What it means for the customer
The customer gets a free intro lesson, a trial week on a platform or a discount on a first course. Topics range from photography and cooking to programming.

What the customer sees
In the gift block, an online school card looks like an offer with a clear topic: "Intro lesson in photography" or "A week of platform access." The button leads to the partner's page, and the order confirmation email shows the same card.
The customer signs up on the platform, picks a course and starts a lesson. The discount on a full course applies automatically or with a promo code from the card. After that they decide for themselves whether to stay on the platform.
Why online courses work right after a purchase
A course continues the purchase: bought a camera, you want to shoot better; bought a coffee machine, you want to understand beans; bought paints, you want to learn to draw. Motivation peaks in the first hour after payment, while the person is still imagining the result.
If a gift is offered before the purchase, it pulls attention away from the cart. After payment there is nowhere to go, so the attention stays on the offer. That is why the AI picks a course topic from your catalog instead of a generic ranking.
What partners offer and how the store earns
Partners usually pay for a new student who signed up or bought a first course. The store gets 60% of the partner's payout, verification takes 14–30 days, and money goes out via SEPA from €50. Courses cost more than regular subscriptions, so the price of one conversion can be higher while clicks come less often.
Typical formats:
- a free intro lesson with no card
- a discount on a first course for new students
- a trial week on a platform with a course catalog
- a free workshop with a recording
- a discount on a subscription to all of a platform's courses
Questions
How does the AI pick a course topic?
From your catalog: kitchen products get cooking courses, cameras get photography, paints get drawing. The topic is chosen from the partner offers available.
Do partners pay for signups or course purchases?
It depends on the offer. Some pay for signup and a first lesson, others for a first purchase. The condition is always stated in the offer.
Won't a course distract from my products?
The gift appears after payment, when the order is complete. It doesn't affect the sale.
What do I do if I sell courses myself?
Turn the category off in your dashboard. The course cards will not appear on the thank-you page or in the email, and other gifts keep working.
Is this category worth it for a store with cheap products?
It can be: the course is a gift for the customer, not part of your order. But clicks depend on how well the topic matches the purchase, so check the dashboard after a few weeks.
