Weekend Photography Checklist
Illustrative offer: a 2 MB PDF for $9, with a one-time purchase and email delivery.
Before you start
- A finished PDF you have the right to sell, plus a clear product description.
- A Systeme.io account, a funnel with an order form, and a connected payment method.
- An authenticated sending domain and confirmed sender address for the delivery email.
Set it up in Systeme.io
Prepare the offer
On the order form, create a digital product and configure a one-time price plan. Describe the PDF’s contents, file format and delivery method so the buyer knows what is included.
Trigger delivery after the sale
Open the payment page’s automation rules. Use New sale as the trigger and Send email as the action. Opening the checkout alone should not deliver the paid file.
Add the delivery message
Create the email, write its subject and instructions, and upload your PDF. This upload is limited to 5 MB. The file is presented as a download link at the end of the email, rather than a conventional attached file.
Save and explain the next step
Save the email and the automation rule. Tell buyers on the thank-you page to check their inbox, including spam, and provide a real support contact for delivery problems.
