MadeThis for Coaches: Can You Sell Services on the Platform?
When I was exploring whether to use MadeThis for my business, I had a specific question that took a while to get a clear answer to: can you actually sell services — coaching packages, done-for-you offers, 1-on-1 sessions — on MadeThis, or is it only for downloadable digital products?
Here's the honest answer, from someone who tested it.
What MadeThis Is Primarily Built For

MadeThis is built primarily for digital products: ebooks, templates, courses, guides, software — things that can be delivered automatically via download.
This is where the platform excels. The product pages are optimized for digital product sales, the checkout flow is clean, and the delivery automation is seamless.
So the first honest thing to say is: if 100% of your business is high-ticket 1-on-1 coaching with no digital products, MadeThis is probably not your core platform.
But if you're a coach who also sells — or wants to sell — digital products alongside your services, the picture gets more interesting.
Selling Services on MadeThis
Yes, you can sell services on MadeThis. Here's how it works in practice:
You can create a product listing for a coaching package, consultation, or service offer. Instead of delivering a downloadable file, you deliver a booking link, a calendar invite, or a PDF with next steps.
Coaches use this to sell:
- Single 1-on-1 sessions (delivered as a Calendly/Cal.com booking link)
- Coaching packages (delivered as onboarding documents + Zoom link)
- Strategy calls (delivered via confirmation email with scheduling link)
- Done-for-you service packages (delivered as project intake form)
The checkout experience is exactly the same as a digital product — buyer pays, you deliver the "product" (which is a link or document), and the transaction is complete.
The Hybrid Model That Works Best
The coaches I've seen get the most value from MadeThis use it as part of a hybrid model:
- Digital products at the bottom of their offer stack — $17-$97 templates, guides, or mini-courses that buyers can access without speaking to anyone
- A mid-tier group program or course — $197-$497, higher-touch but not fully 1-on-1
- High-ticket 1-on-1 services — $1,000+ coaching packages or done-for-you offers
MadeThis handles all three levels cleanly. The digital products and courses deliver automatically. The coaching packages deliver a link or onboarding email. Everything lives on one platform.
The business case for this model is clear: digital products create passive income that supplements coaching revenue, and they pre-qualify buyers for your higher-ticket offers. Someone who bought your $47 guide is warmer than a cold stranger when you pitch your $2,000 coaching package.
What MadeThis Does Better Than Coaching-Specific Platforms
Platforms built specifically for coaches (think Kajabi, CoachAccountable, Practice) are more comprehensive for the coaching workflow — session notes, client management, structured check-ins.
But for coaches building a content-based audience and wanting to monetize through digital products alongside services, MadeThis has better economics: no transaction fees, better product page design, and the AI co-founder feature helps coaches write compelling sales copy for their offers.
The full pricing comparison at /madethis-pricing shows the economics, and /compare/madethis-vs-stan-store is worth reading if you're a creator-coach evaluating Stan Store as an alternative.
My Honest Take for Coaches
If you're a coach whose business is entirely 1-on-1 sessions with no digital products, MadeThis isn't your primary platform — you'd be using it awkwardly.
If you're a coach who:
- Already sells (or wants to sell) digital products alongside coaching
- Is building an audience through content and wants a single platform for all monetization
- Wants to add a passive income stream to a time-based service business
...then MadeThis is worth a serious look. The free trial is long enough to test whether the product page quality converts better than what you're using now.
The coaches I've talked to who tried it most often point to two things: the product pages look professional without design work, and the no-transaction-fee model makes adding low-ticket digital products actually worth doing at low volumes.
