Once you’ve created your first product, you may soon want to add more products, or test different versions or price points for your existing product. You can sell up to 500 different products (or versions of the same product) in your account. However, in your account you can only set a single commission rate that applies to all of your products in that account, and you have to use the same HopLink Target URL (the page where affiliates send traffic) for all products in that account.

If you wish to sell very different types of products, or offer varying commission rates, we recommend opening a new account.

To add additional products to an existing ClickBank account, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your ClickBank account.
2. Select the Account Settings tab.
3. Select My Products.
4. Select the Standard Products tab or the Recurring Billing Products tab, depending on which type of product you are adding. For more information about adding a recurring billing product, see our Recurring Billing documentation.
5. Click the Add New Product button.
6. Enter the Thank You Page URL, the item number, and the suggested retail price for the product you are adding.
7. Click Save Changes.

You need to save a HopLink Target URL within your account if you want affiliates to refer customers to your site. You can only save one HopLink Target URL per account, which is the page to which all affiliate traffic is directed. If you are only selling one product per account, your HopLink Target URL is usually your Pitch Page URL.

If you are selling multiple products through one account, design a HopLink Target URL that acts as a gateway to all of your products. For instance, you could sell products from three different websites:

• www.orange.com
• www.blue.com
• www.green.com

If you want affiliate HopLinks to connect customers to all of your websites, and you only want one ClickBank account, you should consider creating a new HopLink Target URL that would serve as a gateway to your other websites. For example, you could create www.rainbow.com, which would contain links to www.orange.com, www.blue.com, and www.green.com. It’s best to use this kind of setup when all of your products are about related topics.

If your products are too different to share a gateway page that is relevant to all of them, you may wish to consider opening a second vendor account. Don’t forget that ClickBank offers a discounted activation fee of $29.95 on any additional accounts for vendors who have already paid the full $49.95 activation fee for their first vendor account.

In order to receive the discounted activation fee for your additional vendor accounts, simply include a note in the “Comments” section of the first product approval request you submit from the new account, stating that you would like the discounted activation fee for your new account. Be sure to give the nickname of your first account for which you paid the full price activation fee, or the receipt number of that paid activation fee, if possible.

Keep in mind that you must alert ClickBank that you are eligible for the discount when you submit your first product approval request for your subsequent account. If you do not include the ClickBank nickname of the first account for which you paid the full activation fee in your request, we will not know that you are eligible for the discounted account activation fee upon approval of the product.
