# How to automatically share links to customers after purchase

> Learn how to use the Custom Benefit to automatically share links with customers after purchase.

## Create a Custom Benefit

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Benefits">
    In the Polar dashboard sidebar, click on **Benefits**.

    You can also go directly to `https://polar.sh/dashboard/${org_slug}/benefits`.

    <img height="200" src="https://mintcdn.com/absolum/NDzfDIYow3F7QBKv/assets/guides/automate-post-purchase-link-sharing/benefits-page.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=NDzfDIYow3F7QBKv&q=85&s=1c8551b97209d25790ed3df6a99969dc" data-path="assets/guides/automate-post-purchase-link-sharing/benefits-page.png" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click on Create Benefit">
    Click on **Create Benefit**. You’ll see three configuration fields as shown in the image below: **Description**, **Type**, and **Private note**.

    <img height="200" src="https://mintcdn.com/absolum/NDzfDIYow3F7QBKv/assets/guides/automate-post-purchase-link-sharing/create-benefit.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=NDzfDIYow3F7QBKv&q=85&s=79ab1520fe5a40277edf4979c1384d8e" data-path="assets/guides/automate-post-purchase-link-sharing/create-benefit.png" />

    The **Type** field is set to Custom by default (which is what we need).

    <Note>
      The **Private note** field is specific to the Custom **Type**.  If you select a different **Type**, you’ll see configuration options specific to that type instead.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill the configuration fields">
    <a id="configuration-fill" />

    Fill the **Description** and **Private note** fields where:

    * **Description** accepts regular text and is the title of the link that you want to share with the customer.
    * **Private note** uses the [Markdown format](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/) so you can format text, add links, or lists.

    Make sure to add your link inside the **Private note** section so that it's only accessible post a payment.
    Then, click the **Create** button to save the configuration.

## How the Custom Benefit Appears During Checkout

Your Custom Benefit is visible to customers at multiple stages of their purchase journey:

### Checkout Page

When a customer opens the checkout session, they’ll see the **Description of your Custom Benefit** listed under **Included**.

<img height="200" src="https://mintcdn.com/absolum/NDzfDIYow3F7QBKv/assets/guides/automate-post-purchase-link-sharing/checkout.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=NDzfDIYow3F7QBKv&q=85&s=357365c55a503ca16a74da3fb93eb8a5" data-path="assets/guides/automate-post-purchase-link-sharing/checkout.png" />

### After Purchase

Once the customer completes their purchase, the **Description**, the **Benefit Type** (in this case, **Custom**), and the **rendered Markdown content** from the **Private note** of the **Custom Benefit** are displayed, allowing them to access any links or formatted text you’ve added.

### Purchase Confirmation Email

The **Description** and the rendered Markdown content of the **Custom Benefit** also appear in the purchase confirmation email sent to the customer, as shown below.
