Flodesk Checkout is the easiest way to sell online. You don’t need a website or complicated setup with separate tools.

Whether you’re launching a course, selling digital products or offering services, you’ve come to the right place. This page includes step-by-step instructions on getting started and creating your first Flodesk Checkout.

Let’s dive in.

The most important part of your sales funnel? The sales page.

This is what you will be sharing online with your potential clients and customers.

To start building your sales page, go to your dashboard and click Checkouts (next to the Audience tab).

One the next page, you’ll see template options—you can browse all or view them by category:

Hover over any template and click View details to view the template in its entirety.

If you want to use the selected template, click the Customize button. If you want to view other templates, click Back to templates.

Once you click Customize, you can begin editing your template to your heart's desire. Update the copy text and upload your beautiful branded images.

All the Templates have three main sections:

Let's start with editing the Sales page first.

Click on any image, text or CTA block to edit the font, color, size, image and more. You can also add or delete blocks, images, CTAs and text.

We know how important it is that your Sales page looks amazing on mobile devices too. To view how your page looks on mobile or desktop, click the mobile or desktop icons in the top right corner.

When you’re happy with the look and feel of your sales page, click the second tab at the top of the page, the Checkout tab.

Your checkout page is where customers will input their information and credit card (and how you get paid!), but it’s also where you can add an upsell, contact information, a testimonial and discount codes.

To get started, click on any of the blocks, like the Edit contact block in the below screenshot example.

Once you click into a block, a pop-up screen will appear for you to edit. You’ll see the following tabs:

In our example, if you click on the Contact information block, the pop-up will automatically open to the Contact tab similarly to the below image.

Let's get review these sections and what they let you do.

Under the Product tab, you can adjust the price, mark it as “On sale,” make it free and add your image. For example, if you’re selling an ebook, you can upload the ebook cover as the image here. All Checkout product images are standardized to display with a 1:1 square ratio.

Do you have an upsell? Perfect!

In this tab, you can edit the price, mark it as “On sale” or even give it away for free.

The Contact tab lets you collect your customers’ information, including their first and last name and email address.

Also, this is where you can define to which segment customers who purchase your product (or service) should be added. Plus, you can allow customers to sign up for your email list.

The best way to illustrate the value of your offer is to show how others found it. If you want to showcase a great testimonial someone left for you, this is the place to do it!

Who doesn't like a discount every now and then? Give your customers a great deal by adding one or multiple discount codes.

You can customize your Checkout's link under the Advanced tab. Or you can set your Flodesk handle for this page.

Once you built your checkout page, all is left to customize how customers will receive the product(s). You will set this up on the delivery page.

To begin designing your delivery page, click on the Delivery tab at the top of the page.

To add your logo, click into the top block with the logo placeholder and select your logo.

Click on any block to edit the image, text, colors and CTA. You can also remove any of the block elements.

Do you want to delete blocks from any or all of the pages? We’ll walk you through how to do it.

If you want to delete blocks from the Sales page, you can click into any individual block and click the trash can icon as shown below. You can also rearrange the blocks on the page by clicking on the up and down arrows.

For the Checkout and Delivery pages, do the following:

To view any of your pages on desktop or mobile, simply click on the respective icons in the top right corner of the page. To exit either view, click on the Back arrow.

Once you’re happy with your pages, hit the Publish button in the top right corner.

A pop-up will appear directing you to connect with Stripe to accept payments. Note that you’ll have to click Publish again after Stripe verifies your information.

Click the Connect with Stripe button to get started. You will be directed to Stripe’s setup page where you can add in your credentials.

After you complete your Stripe verification, you’ll be redirected to Flodesk Checkout. Click the black Publish button to make your page live and start sharing your Sales page URL.

Note: you can customize the Checkout URL as explained here.

Congratulations! You’ve just created your first checkout! 🙌
