New Industry Template & Checkout Designs
Five New Industry Template Designs & Matching Checkouts are now live. When you’re selling online in a specific industry, a polished design can make all the difference. But not everyone has the time or budget to build custom pages from scratch.
That’s why we’ve expanded the ThriveCart template library with professionally designed long-form sales & matching checkout templates, tailored to popular Creator Industry niches so you can launch faster and look more polished than ever.
Now available:
- Health & Wellness
- Life Coaching
- Startup Consulting
- Relationship Coaching
- Mental Health Support
New templates, like Financial Consulting, Cybersecurity, Nutrition Coaching, Digital Marketing, and Photography, will be rolling out soon!
Each template includes both a long-form sales page and a matching checkout page, designed to work together as a high-converting funnel.
Why it matters:
- Look professional instantly with niche-ready layouts.
- Save design costs with templates built by experts.
- Launch faster: plug in your copy and start selling.
👉 Available now for Pro+ users with Stripe Connect+.
Find them under Sales Page Templates and Checkout Templates in your template gallery.
Multi-Product Templates
Multiple Products Templates: Sell Several Products from One Page are now available.
Sometimes a single product checkout isn’t enough. Maybe you offer three coaching packages, five course tiers, or a mix of consulting options. Until now, setting this up meant building multiple funnels or juggling complex workarounds.
With our new Multiple Products & Lead Capture Templates, you can now showcase multiple product options on one page, and send each customer seamlessly to the right checkout flow based on their choice.
Here’s how it works:
- Showcase several product options, bundles, or tiers on one page.
- Customers choose their preferred option.
- Route each customer seamlessly into the right conversion-optimized checkout flow based on their choice, ready to buy.
That means you can promote bundles, tiers, or entirely different offers side by side
Why it matters:
- Sell smarter: highlight multiple offers from one clean page.
- Save time: launch in minutes, no complex funnels required.
- Look professional: polished, editable templates built with conversion in mind.
👉 Available now for Pro+ users with Stripe Connect+.
Find them under the new Multiple Products Templates in your template gallery.
Lead Capture Templates
Lead Capture Templates: Capture Leads Not Checkouts are also live.
With these templates, you can not only showcase products but also collect valuable leads, even when no purchase is made.
Here’s how it works:
- Collect valuable leads with a built-in capture form.
- Generate a $0 invoice in the background (not shown to the customer).
- Build your audience while still sending buyers to the right checkout flow.
That means you have the right tool now to help you grow faster, capturing leads even when a customer doesn’t buy right away.
👉 Available now for Pro+ users with Stripe Connect+.
They are an integral part of the Multiple Products Templates in your template gallery.

Student Learn LMS Access Rules
Smarter Course Access: Predictable Subscription Cancellations is now live.
You can now decide whether to revoke access for Students at the time of cancellation or at the end of the subscription billing cycle.
Until recently, students were only able to access the course for as long as their subscription was active. This was not always optimal, as sometimes students may cancel a subscription before the subscription term ended (for example, cancelling a week before renewal).
We’ve made some big changes to the access rules!
If the student cancels, you now have the choice to revoke access to your courses immediately or at the end of the term.
For this, you must be using Learn+ and Pro+, with Stripe Connect+ active on your course, and it will work no matter which version of Stripe or PayPal the student originally subscribed to.
Here’s an example:
A student purchased your Learn+ course last year using Stripe Legacy.
You’ve since upgraded that product to Stripe Connect+ (on Pro+) to take advantage of our new, faster checkouts, 100+ global payment options, improved AI fraud tech, and higher overall payment success rates, plus the suite of Pro+ revenue boosting tools (smart choice!).
When the student cancels today, our system will seamlessly go back into Stripe Legacy and find the cancelled subscription.
Upon verification, the rule to revoke access immediately, or at the end of the subscription term (depending on your preferences) will trigger.
⚠️ Note: Subscriptions originally purchased through Auth.net remain excluded from this rule.
Why it matters:
- Consistency across processors: students always experience the same rules.
- True control: your course cancellation settings apply exactly as intended.
- Future-proofing: smooth experience as you migrate from older processors to Connect+.
👉 Available on Pro+ and Learn+ accounts. You’ll find it in your course settings under Subscription cancellation behavior.

More Coupon Control: Apply Discounts to Specific Bump Offers
More Coupon Control: Apply Discounts to Specific Bump Offers is here.
Until now, your control over coupons and bump products was limited. Bumps were treated as “all or nothing.” With this update, you can now select exactly which bumps a coupon applies to.
That changes with this update! You can now decide exactly which bump products a coupon applies to, giving you more flexibility to tailor your offers and promotions.
Here’s how it works:
- When creating or editing a percentage-based coupon, choose Specific products under coupon settings.
- If the selected product has multiple pricing options, they’ll appear in the list (prefixed with Pricing:).
- Any attached bump offers will also appear beneath the product (prefixed with Bump:).
- Simply check the specific pricing options and/or bumps you want the coupon to apply to.
This means you can run promotions like:
- A discount that applies only to the main product and one premium bump.
- A coupon that targets a specific pricing option plus selected bumps.
- Or a coupon that excludes bumps entirely, keeping high-value add-ons at full price.
Example:
You’re selling a $100 course with two bumps: “Bonus Workbook” ($40) and “VIP Coaching Call” ($20).
You create a 50% coupon that applies only to the main product and the bonus workbook bump.
If a customer adds the coaching call, they’ll still pay full price for it, protecting your margins while still running a compelling promotion.
Important notes:
- This works with percentage coupons. Fixed-amount coupons continue to apply at the product level.
- If you select Main product only or Bumps only, that logic will still override.
- Existing coupons will automatically include current bumps at release. But if you add new bumps later, you’ll need to edit the coupon to include them.
Why it matters:
- More flexibility → choose exactly where your discounts apply.
- Better promotions → highlight specific upsells or bundles.
- Cleaner setup → pricing options and bumps are clearly labeled.
- Revenue protection → keep premium bumps excluded when needed.
👉 Available now for Pro+ accounts on Stripe Connect+.

Bumps-Only Coupons: Discount Add-Ons Without Touching Your Main Offer
Bumps-Only Coupons: Discount Add-Ons Without Touching Your Main Offer are now available.
With multiple bump offers readily available (and showing average order values increase by up to 30%!), we’ve received several requests to make coupon discounts applicable only to bumps, and not the main front-end product. If this applies to you, today we have good news!
The new “Bumps only (if any)” option changes that. You can now apply discounts solely to bump products on the checkout page, leaving your core offer untouched.
How it works:
- Go to Products → Coupons → New/Edit.
- Choose Percentage as the discount type.
- Under Applies to, select Bumps only (if any).
- When a customer adds bumps, the percentage discount applies individually to each bump.
- 1 bump? Only that one is discounted.
- Multiple bumps? Each is discounted by the same percentage.
Example:
You’re offering three bumps: $50, $80, and $130. With a 50% “Bumps only” coupon:
- $50 bump = $25
- $80 bump = $40
- $130 bump = $65
The main product and upsells remain at full price.
Why it matters
- Protect core revenue → keep the main product and upsells at full price.
- Run targeted promos → spotlight add-ons without discounting the entire funnel.
- Flexible merchandising → align discounts with margin strategy.
- Predictable checkout → customers see exactly which add-ons are discounted.
Notes & requirements
- Works with percentage coupons only. Fixed-amount coupons still apply to the order total.
- Requires Pro+ and the product must use Stripe Connect+.
- If the product has no bumps or isn’t using Connect+, customers will see “This coupon does not apply to this order.”
- Specific products & pricing options rules still apply. If a coupon is limited to Product A / Option 1, it won’t work for Product A / Option 2.
- Discounts show in the total order summary on receipts, not broken out by individual bumps.
- Minimum charge limits still apply (rare edge cases, e.g., extremely low bump pricing).
👉 Available now for Pro+ users with Stripe Connect+.
Find it at: Products → Coupons → New/Edit → Percentage → Applies to → “Bumps only (if any)”.
