In the Product page section, you can choose which types of pages will be used to sell your course. Below, we explain the different options available to you:
a) When you register a product on our platform, a page will automatically be created for it on the Hotmart Marketplace, a space that concentrates all the products registered and available for sale on the platform.
b) If you choose to create a new version of the sales page, you can use Extensions, a tool specialized in creating pages in a simple and personalized way. Check out all the settings available in the Extensions Help Center (only available in Portuguese).
c) If you already have a sales page hosted on another provider, you can also link it to your product. This way, the Hotlink generated for your product will be redirected directly to that page. - In the Personal information section, you will need to complete the registration by confirming some of your personal information. After completing the confirmation, click Next.
- In the Terms and policies section, you will be able to consult the Hotmart’s General Terms of Use and understand your responsibilities and the rules you must follow when registering a product on our platform.

That's it! After following the mentioned steps, your online course will be registered and will undergo a quick verification to ensure compliance with our Terms of Use. Typically, this process takes about 15 minutes, but in specific cases, it may extend to a maximum of one business day.
Sales of your product will be released after the verification. During this period, you can configure the content and sales pages in the editing panel.
