This guide explains how to use the Products section in Thrive Apprentice to bundle your courses with other content (such as blog posts or pages) and manage access to them.
What is a Thrive Apprentice Product?
A Product is a package of content that you can sell or grant access to. It can include one or more courses, as well as other content from your website, such as specific posts, pages, or even WooCommerce products.
Creating a New Product
To create a new product, follow these steps:
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to Thrive Dashboard > Thrive Apprentice.
- Click Products in the left sidebar.
- Click the +Create your first product button
- In the pop-up that appears, enter a name for your product.
- Add content to your product:
- To add courses: Click Add Courses, select the courses you want to include, and click Add to product.
- To add other content: Click Add Other Content, select the content type (e.g., Posts, Pages), choose the specific items, and click Add to product.
- Click Done to create the product.
Managing Existing Products
Once a product is created, you can manage its content, access rules, and other settings from the individual product page. To access this page, go to the main Products screen, hover over the product you want to edit, and click the pencil icon.
The following table summarizes the available management options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Product content | Add or remove courses and other content from the product. |
| Access expiry | Set a time limit for how long users can access the product. |
| Access requirements | Define how users get access to the product (e.g., through a Stripe purchase, a specific WordPress user role, or a custom purchase link). |
| Drip | Release product content over time, rather than all at once. |
| Access restriction rules | Control what non-logged-in or non-authorized users see when they try to access the product. |
Important Note on Deleting Products: Deleting a product is permanent and cannot be undone. This action will revoke access for all users who have purchased or been granted access to the product.
