How do I add a discount to my checkout page in Flodesk Checkout?

Running a promotion? Celebrating a milestone? Planning a seasonal sale like Black Friday or Small Business Saturday? 🛍

Flodesk Checkout makes it easy to create and manage discount codes for your products and services—no complicated setup required.

1. Open your checkout page in the Checkout builder

2. Click Setup in the top-right corner

3. Select the Discounts tab

This is where all discount codes for that specific checkout live.

Follow these steps to add a new discount:

• Click + Create new in the bottom-right corner of the Discounts tab

• Click the Name field

• Add an internal name (for example: Black Friday 2026)

This name is for your reference only. Customers won’t see it.

• Click into the Discount code field

• Enter the code customers will type at checkout
  (examples: HALFOFF, SUMMER50, WELCOME10)

Use the Applies to dropdown to select:

• Main product only

• Upsell only

• Both main product and upsell

Under Discount type, select:

• Percentage (for example: 20% off)

• Amount (for example: $10 off)

Then enter the value in the Amount field. For example, if you want to give 20% off, you’d type 20.

• Toggle Active on

• Click Save

• Click the X in the top right corner of the pop-up module to return to your checkout page

Discounts won’t work unless the Discount code block is enabled on your checkout page.

To check this:

1. Click anywhere in the background of your checkout page

2. Open Page settings

3. Turn Discount code block ON

If you don’t want customers to use discount codes, simply turn this block OFF.
