Selling from your Flodesk Emails just became easier than ever. You can now directly connect to your Flodesk Checkout offers from within your standalone emails or workflow emails. Wherever you can add a link, you can also directly connect to your Flodesk Checkout.

In the Email builder, when you add a block type that can be connected to a link, you will see an option to directly connect to a Checkout.

Find here a list of block types that can currently be connected to links or Checkouts:

Step 1. When editing your email, add one of the eligible block types listed above to your email design. In this example, we have added a Layout block.

Step 2. On the right sidebar, select the Link tab, and the third option is to connect to a published Checkout.

Step 3. Use the dropdown menu to select the Checkout to connect to the Layout block. You can select your full sales checkout templates that include a sales page and also simple checkouts (product only).

The dropdown displays the ten most recent Checkouts by publish date. If you don’t see the Checkout you want to connect to, you can continue scrolling down the list to load more Checkouts for selection.

Note: The Checkout can also be for a free offer, not only a paid one, but it has to be a published Checkout in order to be pulled into the email.

Once you make the selection, when subscribers click on the Layout block, they will be redirected to the Checkout you select here.

Important: the product price of the Checkout does not automatically populate in the email body. You need to double-check and manually add any relevant information to the email. If you make a change to either the email text or the Checkout product price, it will not be reflected automatically on the other surface.

To remove a Checkout you have connected to an eligible block type in your email:

Doing so will return the “Choose existing Checkout” dropdown.

Yes, you can link to multiple Checkouts within a single email. One thing to note is that one email block can only have one single link (or Checkout) connected. But you can add several email blocks to your email design and connect each to different Checkouts.

You can edit a Checkout you connected to in your email. Go to your Checkouts dashboard and edit the Checkout as needed. Remember to publish the Checkout to ensure your changes become live.

Also, any changes to the following Checkout details will reflect in the “Choose existing Checkout” dropdown or card (if already selected):

If you unpublish a Checkout on your Checkouts dashboard, it will no longer appear for selection in your email under the “Choose existing Checkout” dropdown.

Any previously sent emails with the now unpublished Checkout will return a 404 page not available error message when subscribers click them in the email.

If the Checkout you’re about to unpublish is connected to a scheduled email (not yet sent) or workflow, you will see an alert message similar to the one below.

If you duplicate an email or an email block with an already connected Checkout, the connection remains active in the duplicated email or block, and the selected Checkout will remain linked.

If you save an email or an email block with an already connected Checkout as a favorite, the connection remains active, and the selected Checkout will remain linked.

If you share an email as a template with an already connected Checkout from your account, we will remove all Checkout links from the blocks. Your Checkout links will not be moved over into the importing member’s account.

If you downgrade to the Email-only plan that doesn’t include Flodesk Checkout, all previous emails with the Checkout links will return a 404 page not available error message.
