If you've been painstakingly building an online community by blogging over the years, it's time to take your business up a notch by monetising your email list. 

You can use your influence to provide valuable products that your community will love. For example, you can start the transition into a membership site and offer exclusive content for a fee. You can provide online courses, coaching services, one-on-one training, or sell digital products like ebooks, custom visuals, or templates. 

Transitioning into a membership site is challenging, especially if you're only piecing the integrations on your own. You're likely to patch different platforms and tools together, and sometimes, the results aren't as good as you expect them to be. It's frustrating if your membership processes aren't as smooth or organised.

Thankfully, there are services like Flodesk to help you develop an on-brand sales experience and attract more subscribers. 

One of Flodesk's most recent features promises to make it easier for budding entrepreneurs to process payments. Whether you're a new blogger with big plans of selling various merch or a seasoned content creator ready to earn more from your existing venture, you will love how easy Flodesk Checkout is and the smooth integration with various apps.

What is Flodesk Checkout?

The Flodesk Checkout feature enables content creators and bloggers to sell products, courses, and services online without using complicated, buggy third-party apps or cumbersome setups. 

It's the perfect checkout service for entrepreneurs who want to sell digital products or services because it can process payments via Stripe, PayPal, Zoom, and other payment platforms. 

The Checkout feature sets up in seconds in a Flodesk website and connects easily with Flodesk Email. If you're already on Flodesk, using the Checkout feature will improve the overall user experience because integration is smooth. There's also an option to add an upsell to an offer to increase revenues. 

How to Use the Flodesk Checkout Feature

To use Flodesk Checkout, you must build a Sales page first and then create a Checkout page and a Delivery page. The Checkout page is where paying customers will key in their personal and payment details – such as credit card details – for processing every time they purchase on your website. The entire process of creating a Sales, Checkout, and Delivery page is swift and seamless. 

After creating the Sales Page, you can make the Checkout page. There are different elements that you can add to the checkout. These elements are:

• Product
• Upsell
• Contact 
• Testimonial
• Discounts

The Product tab

lets you customise the product offers, such as the price and mark-down prices for sale. You can also upload product photos to create an attractive page. 

The Upsell tab

lets you offer additional or similar products to the ones chosen by the buyer. You can edit the price, mark prices down, or give it for free. 

The Contact tab

lets you collect customer details, including their email address. This feature helps grow your email list for future promotions.

The Testimonial tab

enables you to add positive feedback from previous customers to boost confidence in your brand and add more value to the offer.

The Discount tab

lets you create single or multiple discount codes and attract more customers. This is useful for flash sales, seasonal promos, and sign-up incentives.

After customising the checkout page, you'll need to create the Delivery page. Go to the Delivery tab, add your logo, colour, and font, and finish with your call to action. Once the delivery page is completed, you can publish the Flodesk Checkout and accept payments. 

Flodesk Checkout connects with Stripe, along with other payment gateways. You'll be asked to verify the connection between these apps before the checkout page becomes live.

That is all there is to it. No matter what product or services you'll offer, Flodesk Checkout lets you create an attractive, responsive, and mobile-friendly checkout page for a pleasant user experience. You can customise the Sales, Checkout, and Delivery pages based on your needs. Isn't that something?
