Sales and checkout overview
How products, checkouts and orders fit together in Zanfia, what you can add to a checkout, and where each setting lives.
A sale in Zanfia is a customer paying (or signing up for free) through a checkout attached to a product. This article explains the pieces, where they live in the dashboard, and links to the how-to for each one.
Products vs. checkouts
| Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
| Product | The thing the customer gets: a course, community, download, newsletter, consultation, service or custom product. Lives under Products. |
| Checkout | The page where the customer buys or signs up. One product can have several checkouts (for example a launch price and a standard price). |
| Offer | The everyday word for anything purchasable. In the dashboard the sidebar group is called Offers and each purchasable page is a checkout. |
| Order | One completed (or attempted) purchase. Orders are listed under Transactions. |
A checkout is either Paid (has one or more prices) or Free (a signup that grants access without payment). Both types share the same editor.
Where things live
| Sidebar entry | Route | What you manage there |
|---|---|---|
| Offers → Checkouts | /checkouts | Every checkout in the workspace, with Published / Draft / Archived status and the link |
| Offers → Bundles | /bundles | Bundle products that sell several products together |
| Offers → Order bumps | /orderbumps | Reusable add-on offers you attach to paid checkouts |
| Offers → Discount codes | /discounts | Coupons customers type at checkout |
| Transactions | /orders | Every order, its status, payment method and invoice |
| Product page → Checkouts | product hub | The same checkouts, scoped to one product, plus Add checkout |

Plan availability
Checkouts, prices, discount codes, offer deadlines, the thank-you page, the orders list and the workflow-based abandoned-checkout recovery are available on every plan. Order bumps are available on Growth and above. One-time offers are included in every current plan. A paid checkout can only be published once a payment gateway (for example Stripe or Przelewy24) is connected in Settings.
Good to know
Every checkout has a shareable link (Open live / Copy link in the editor header). You can send that link anywhere: a sales page, an email, a social post. Customers land straight on the checkout.
