Today ClickBank is announcing an exciting new feature now available to all vendors, to help both vendors and their affiliates get more out of every sale. Over the past year, ClickBank made the PitchPlus feature (formerly one-click upsell) available to a select group of vendors, and their success with this feature was impressive. Vendors who participated in this pilot program have sold more than $40 million worth of upsell, cross-sell or downsell offers to date. These are all purchases above and beyond the initial sale!

There are now two different versions of the PitchPlus feature that you can take advantage of and incorporate into your sales process.

PitchPlus Basic

With Pitch Plus Basic, the beginning of the order process works like any other ClickBank purchase; a customer visits your Pitch Page, clicks the payment link, then enters their payment information on the ClickBank order form and completes their purchase.

In a non-PitchPlus purchase, the customer is then taken to a confirmation page where they see their order details and can access the product. In a basic PitchPlus purchase, however, the customer is instead taken from the Order Form to an additional Pitch Page of your choice! The customer is given the opportunity to accept or decline the additional offer, and are then taken to a ClickBank Confirmation Page, which contains links to the individual Thank You pages of the items purchased. If they accept the additional offer, they’re able to purchase it immediately without having to re-enter payment details.

PitchPlus Advanced

Vendors must be approved for the PitchPlus Advanced feature, but once approved they can create PitchPlus flows with up to three additional offers. Like PitchPlus Basic, the order process begins like any other ClickBank purchase. After the customer enters their payment information on the ClickBank order form and completes their purchase, the vendor can display up to three additional offers to the customer within the same purchase cycle.

Within each step of the PitchPlus flow, you can decide what action to take if the customer agrees to the offer or declines the offer. Once the customer completes the flow, they are taken to a ClickBank Confirmation Page, which contains links to the individual Thank You pages of the items purchased. ClickBank automatically displays the correct combination of purchased items.

Vendors who wish to take advantage of these advanced multi-step flows must submit an application for access to PitchPlus Advanced to the ClickBank Security Team. We will review your application, account history and intended use and respond to you directly regarding your request.

Remember, PitchPlus Basic is available to all vendors, while PitchPlus Advanced version is only available to approved vendors.

What Does This Mean for Affiliates?

Affiliates can earn additional money from PitchPlus sales too! Affiliates can receive a commission for each successful upsell purchase, with the commission rate for upsell purchases set by the vendor.

Affiliates can identify vendors in the ClickBank Marketplace who use PitchPlus offers by either looking for the PitchPlus icon ( ) or by choosing Advanced Search and selecting the Upsell checkbox under the Product Type section. Affiliates can earn more with every promotion by promoting products from vendors who utilize PitchPlus.

Summary

The PitchPlus feature (formerly one-click upsell) is now available to all vendors. And remember, affiliates can benefit from the PitchPlus feature too by promoting products that come with additional offers!

It's about time but nice to see Clickbank have finally got on board with this. This is going to open up a great opportunity for vendors and affiliates alike.

Let the games begin!

    It makes joining cb for vendors even more interesting.

    Instead of using complicated ecommerce software just use cb and go with what it offers.

      Yeah, I've always thought it was a little silly that they hadn't already unleashed this on all Clickbank vendors. I guess they wanted to test things behind the scenes and get it all right first time round.

      Either way, I think this definitely makes Clickbank even more appealing to those vendors who don't want the hassle of getting their own merchant account.

        You could never do this before with Clickbank in this format (unless you were part of the pilot program). It doesn't matter what scripts, etc you use, you still had to either take two separate payments or one lump sum payment. There was never a way to take two separate payments with the customer only entering their credit card details once.

        You could previously do this using other services such as 1 shopping cart but using those services usually require you to have some type of merchant account set up. This latest Clickbank feature finally brings the 1 click upsell feature to the average vendor.

    Will,

    I just did a site for a client that used the one click upsell (7 product combinations) with DL Guard and it was phenomenal. Once you make the initial purchase, it flows through the upsell flow and when done, you hit the final order confirmation page and all the links to the product thank you pages are there.

    Both client and myself were/are very impressed.

    Real game changer.

    Thanks,

    John

    Clickbank kicks ass. I get so frustrated when I can't make software stuff work, and I always come back to reliable old Clickbank. Their fees are a small price to pay.

      One of the biggest benefits of Clickbank is not having the hassle of paying your affiliates and all the tax paperwork that goes with that. Instead of you paying the affiliates, Clickbank are 'purchasing' the product from you and selling it on your behalf.

      Makes things a lot easier for small time vendors who want to get an affiliate program up and running with little hassle.

    Damn! Just two days ago I was looking for this function and was so upset to find out that you had to sell 5k copies to use it.
    Today, however.... I will set it up asap.

    Thanks for the good news.

    I've been using their one-click pilot program for some time now, and can tell you it works GREAT! The upsell flows are easy to submit and implement. And now with the PitchPlus Advanced you can upsell other vendor products. AWESOME!

      Hi Bill - I saw your post about you testing the 1 Click Upsell system -

      I wanted to put one of my products already on CB for 5 years now with an upsell -
      They have told me I am OK to use it -

      Is it difficult to implement ?

      Many thanks for your time

        If I understand everything ok, if you have one upsell then you need two thank you pages, right? If they buy both, they are first taken to thank you page 1 and after that to thank you page 2, and if they buy only the main product, they are taken only to thank you page 1..

        It this correct?

    Do you guys know if you can upsell other peoples' products on your product page?

    If you don't have an upsell for your own product, it would be nice to be able to incorporate related offers while the customer is still in "buy" mode. :-)

      According to the post below, yes, this is now possible. They would be silly not to allow it. It's going to make them a LOT more sales.

    It means that now the customer will not have to re-enter his credit details after purchasing the product.

    Because the buyer is in a 'buying-state', a 'one-click-to-purchase' feature is extremely powerful...and can add a load of profits to your bottom-line!

    I have shyed away from Clickbank for a long time with my info-products because of this. Now, maybe I should start reconsidering it again

    @bross yeah you have appropriate Thank you pages for each product.

    Doesnt anyone know how this actually converts? Remember the customer has to agree after seeing the grand total. The high price could put them off completely. Anyone have actual number to support this?
