Every Flodesk Checkout includes three connected pages:

1. Sales page – showcases your offer(s)/product(s) and drives people to buy. You create your products under the Commerce dashboard and connect them to the sales page through product blocks.

2. Checkout page – collects payment and customer information

3. Delivery page – confirms the purchase and explains what happens next

After purchase, you can:

• Deliver content directly on the Delivery page

• Send follow-up emails and deliver assets using Workflows

Note: Flodesk also offers simple "Checkout-only templates", which include a Checkout page and a Delivery page.

1. Go to your Checkouts dashboard

2. Click + New checkout

3. Choose a template that fits your offer

4. You can preview templates before selecting Customize.

Your Sales page is where you explain the value of your offer(s)/product(s).

You can:

• Edit text, images, and CTAs buttons

• Add or remove content blocks

• Preview desktop and mobile views

• Rearrange or delete blocks as needed

You can always return to this page later. Nothing is locked in.

To view how your page looks on mobile or desktop, click the Preview button and then switch between the mobile or desktop icons in the top right corner.

The Checkout page is where payment and customer details are collected.

• Contact information – customer info + newsletter opt-in segment

• Product information – it automatically pulls in the details for the product your customer purchases

• Upsell – if you have connected upsell offers to your product, they will show here automatically

• Testimonial – if you have set an optional testimonial for your product, it will show below the Pay now button on the checkout page

• Discount code field – buyers can enter coupon and promo codes here. You create discount codes under Commerce > Discounts.

You can:

• Toggle on/off your logo

• Select the position of the upsell on the page

• Select a background color, card color, upsell color, and button color

Flodesk Checkout uses segments to organize buyers and subscribers.

• Newsletter opt-ins (opt-in segment) → set under Checkout page settings.

• Product purchasers (product segment) → set during the product creation flow under Product details.
  

Using separate segments lets you:

• Email buyers differently from subscribers

• Trigger delivery workflows correctly

Once you've built your checkout page, all that is left is to style your Delivery page.

Flodesk Checkout does not automatically deliver files by itself. You choose how delivery works.

You have two options (and we recommend you use both):

After payment, buyers are redirected to the built-in Delivery page. This can't be turned off. The delivery page shows a receipt block at the top confirming the order.

The rest of the page shows the placeholder sections for the purchased product and upsell if it was purchased. Depending on what your customer bought, the product and upsell details are pulled in automatically. You can use the Preview button to see what it looks like.

As an added layer beyond the delivery page, you can also set up an automated delivery through a workflow:

1. Create a Product segment for your product under Product details.

2. Connect that segment to a Workflow

3. Send emails with downloads, links, or access instructions

This is the recommended method for digital products and subscriptions.

When you click Publish on your first Checkout, you’ll be prompted to connect to Stripe if you have not already done so. This is needed even if what you're selling is for free.

• Stripe powers all payments in Flodesk Checkout

• You only need to connect Stripe once

• After verification, return and click Publish again

Note: If you need to get your Stripe account disconnected from Flodesk, you need to email our team at support@flodesk.com with your account details.

If you see this message during publishing:

“We partner with Stripe to power Checkout payments. Check back soon for availability in your area.”
