Sales & checkout

Create a checkout

Create a paid or free checkout for a product, set its prices in the editor, publish it and share the link.

4 min readLast updated Sep 28, 2026

When you finish, you will have a published checkout page for one of your products and a link you can share with customers. A checkout needs a product first: create the product under Products before you start.

1

Open Checkouts and start a new one

In the left sidebar open Offers → Checkouts (/checkouts) and click Create checkout. A dialog asks for three things: the Product the checkout sells, the Checkout type (Paid or Free) and an optional Name. Leave the name blank and it is auto-named after the product. Click Create & edit.

You can also start from the product itself: open the product, switch to its Checkouts tab and click Add checkout.

2

Get to know the editor

The checkout editor opens at /checkouts/<id> with settings on the left and a live preview of the checkout page on the right. The preview updates as you type. At the top of the page a switcher moves between three views: Editor (the page and prices), After purchase (thank-you page, emails, one-time offer, automations) and Analytics.

The editor has tabs: Basics (media, testimonials, offer stack, offer deadline, order bumps), Prices (paid checkouts only), Form & UX (contact fields, payment methods, quick payment, promo-code field, consents) and Theme. A gear icon next to the tabs opens Configuration.

3

Add a price (paid checkouts)

On the Prices tab click Add price and pick the price type: One-time payment, Subscription, Recurring payment or Installments via Stripe. Fill in the amount and currency and save the price. Repeat to offer several variants; the customer picks one on the checkout page.

A price can be switched to hidden: it then appears under Hidden and is reachable only through its own Copy direct link, not on the public checkout. Free checkouts have no Prices tab.

4

Save the draft or publish

A new checkout starts as a Draft. While it is a draft the header shows Save draft and Publish checkout. Publishing saves any pending changes and makes the checkout buyable. If the product itself is still a draft, the confirmation tells you that publishing the checkout also makes the product live.

A paid checkout cannot be published until a payment gateway is connected: the header shows Connect a payment gateway instead, which opens the gateway settings in place.

5

Share the link

Once published, the header shows a green Published label, Open live and Copy link. Open live opens the public checkout in a new tab; Copy link puts the same address in your clipboard. Paste it into your sales page, email or social post.

After you change a published checkout, click Save changes; the public page refreshes within a few seconds.

6

Pause or duplicate later

Click the Published label to Pause checkout: customers can no longer buy until you publish again. On the Checkouts list each card has a Duplicate action that creates a new draft with the same settings (optionally copying the prices).

Good to know

One product can have several checkouts, for example a launch price and a standard price. The Checkouts list shows every checkout in the workspace with its status (Published, Draft, Archived) and lets you filter by Free / Paid and by product.

What happens next

When a customer pays, the order appears under Transactions (/orders), the customer gets the purchase confirmation email, and access to the product is granted. What the customer sees right after paying is set in the After purchase view; see Customize the thank-you page.
