How to Use the Checkout Only Template in Flodesk Checkout

Edited

Want to skip the sales page and get straight to getting paid?
The Checkout only template in Flodesk Checkout lets you share a direct checkout link—so buyers can complete their purchase in just a few clicks.

This option is ideal when you've already explained your offer elsewhere (like your website, emails, or social media) and simply need a clean, high-converting checkout experience.

What is the Checkout Only template?

The Checkout-only template removes the sales page and takes customers straight to checkout. It includes everything needed to collect payment and deliver your product automatically.

With this template, you get:

  • A ready-to-use checkout page

  • A customizable delivery page after purchase

  • Optional upsells, discounts, and email opt-in

  • Built-in order tracking and customer segments

When should you use the Checkout Only template?

Use this template if:

  • You already have a sales page, website, or landing page

  • You’re selling through emails or social media

  • You want a fast, no-friction buying experience

  • You don’t need a long-form sales page inside Flodesk

If you want Flodesk to host your full sales page content, a different checkout template may be a better fit.
