How to use Flodesk Checkout with your existing website

Edited

Learn how to connect Flodesk Checkout to the website you already have.

If you already have a website, you can still use Flodesk Checkout to sell your offer. You do not need to rebuild your whole site in Flodesk.

Flodesk Checkout gives you a shareable link after you publish your checkout flow. You can add that link to buttons, menu items, or text links on your website so visitors can go straight to your Flodesk sales page or checkout page.

There are two easy ways to use Flodesk Checkout with your website:

  • Use a full checkout flow if you want Flodesk to host your sales page, checkout page, and delivery page

  • Use a checkout-only page if you already have a sales page on your website and only need Flodesk to handle checkout and delivery

Before you start

Make sure you have:

  • A Flodesk Checkout offer created

  • Your product, service, or offer details ready

  • Access to edit buttons, links, or navigation on your website

Option 1: Use a full checkout flow with your website

Choose this option if you want Flodesk to host the full buying experience, including the sales page, checkout page, and delivery page.

Step 1: Create your checkout flow in Flodesk

In Flodesk Checkout, create your offer and build out your pages.

Your full checkout flow can include:

  • A sales page

  • A checkout page (with an optional upsell)

  • A delivery page

Step 2: Publish your checkout flow

Once your sales funnel is ready, click Publish.

Flodesk will generate a shareable URL for your published flow.

Step 3: Add the Flodesk link to your website

Copy the shareable link and add it anywhere on your existing website, such as:

  • A call-to-action button

  • Your navigation menu

  • A text link on a page

  • A banner or promotional section

When someone visits your website and clicks that link, they’ll be taken to your Flodesk sales page where they can learn more about your offer and complete their purchase.

Option 2: Use a checkout-only page with your website

Choose this option if you already have a sales page on your website and only want Flodesk to handle checkout and delivery.

Step 1: Choose the checkout-only template

When creating your offer in Flodesk Checkout, select the checkout-only template.

You’ll find it at the bottom of the What are you selling? section in the checkout template categories.

This template skips the sales page and lets you focus on:

  • The checkout page

  • The delivery page

Step 2: Customize your checkout and delivery pages

Add your offer details and make sure the checkout page is ready for customers.

Then update your delivery page with the information customers need after purchase, such as:

  • How to access their purchase

  • Where to find download links

  • What happens next

  • Any extra instructions or next steps

Step 3: Publish and copy your checkout link

Click Publish to generate your checkout page URL.

Step 4: Add the checkout link to your existing sales page

Paste that link into your website anywhere you want customers to start checkout, like:

  • A “Buy now” button

  • A text link

  • A promo section on your sales page

When someone clicks the link, they’ll go directly to your Flodesk checkout page to enter their payment details.

Which option should you choose?

Use a full checkout flow if:

  • You want Flodesk to host your sales page

  • You want a faster setup without building a separate sales page on your website

  • You want to use Flodesk’s built-in page flow from sales to checkout to delivery

Use a checkout-only page if:

  • You already have a sales page on your website

  • You only need a payment page and delivery page in Flodesk

  • You want to keep your existing website content and design in place

Remember to edit the delivery page

Whether you use a full checkout flow or a checkout-only page, make sure you customize the delivery page before publishing.

This is where you tell customers:

  • How to access what they bought

  • What to expect after purchase

  • Where to go if they need help

A clear delivery page helps create a smoother customer experience after checkout.

Summary

You can absolutely use Flodesk Checkout with your existing website.

You have two main options:

  • Use a full Flodesk checkout flow and link to the sales page from your website

  • Use a checkout-only template and link directly to the checkout page from your existing sales page

In both cases, Flodesk gives you a shareable link that you can add to your website wherever you want customers to start the buying process.
