Systeme.io Review & Tutorial: Beating ClickFunnels?

Systeme.io is the #1 funnel builder ClickFunnel alternative in the French market and now they are about to break into the US territories.

It is an all-in-one marketing tool created by French entrepreneur Aurelien Amacker. He used to manage his contacts in Ontraport, however he faced serious challenges, compatibility issues, bugs, and the service was rather expensive.

Therefore he decided to develop a tool that would fulfill his expectations and hired developers to build the tool for him.

In December 2019 they hit $1 million in annual recurring revenue and they are growing by 5 to 8% each month.

In case you are wondering, they use Systeme.io to run their entire business, including their affiliate program.

And since they also manage their entire email list with this system, every contact on their email list is an affiliate, so there is no need to register as an affiliate. This reduces friction.

They have a 14-day free trial, no credit card needed.

Systeme.io General Settings

1. White Label By Adding Your Domain

When you sign up for your free plan, you get a subdomain like this: username.systeme.io.

In order to add your own domain, you need to upgrade to the $47 plan. (I don’t really know why the $27 Startup plan or the free plan don’t have such option, it would be a great way to attract users.)

2. Payment Gateways

The available payment gateways are PayPal (you need a PayPal Business account) and Stripe.

To connect PayPal, you need to add your API Username, Password and Signature.

It is also necessary to set up your PayPal IPN URL in Systeme.io -this is how we know whether or not a payment was made successfully.

3. Mailing List Settings

In the first lightbox you can edit your confirmation email for double opt-in.

There are also the usual email settings:

4. Affiliate Settings

Commission payments:

You can choose PayPal, Wire Transfer and TransferWise.

You can set the default commission you want to pay, the minimum payment amount and payment delay.

You can also set up the affiliate links that your affiliates can promote.

5. Notifications

You can set up the following notifications:

• Notify me by email each time I have made a new sale as a vendor
• Send an invoice by email each time a customer (individual) has made a payment to me
