Checkout links are useful when you need a direct path from an email, page, post, or message to payment. Keep the link tied to a clear offer and test it before sharing.

What this guide helps you do

• Create a direct checkout URL.
• Share it from the right page, email, or post.
• Confirm customer and Money records update after payment.

Before you start

• The product or offer should already be configured.
• Know where the link will be shared.
• Confirm payment setup, price, and terms are ready.

Do it manually

1. Open the offer, product, invoice, or payment area that supports checkout links.
2. Create or copy the checkout link.
3. Review price, quantity, customer fields, expiration, and confirmation behavior.
4. Open the link in a private or fresh browser session.
5. Complete a test or review the checkout screen before sharing.
6. Add the link to the page, broadcast, post, or customer message.

Ask Faster AI

• Create a checkout link for this offer and draft short email copy to share it. Keep the send as a draft.
• Review this checkout link before I add it to a broadcast.

Review before saving or publishing

• Make sure the link points to the intended workspace and offer.
• Check mobile checkout layout.
• Do not reuse an expired, test, or old-price link in a live campaign.

Common issues and fixes

• If a link 404s, confirm the offer is active and the URL was copied correctly.
• If price is wrong, update the offer and generate or recheck the link.
• If payment succeeds but no follow-up happens, review customer sync and journey triggers.

Use it in daily operations

• Use named links for campaigns so reporting stays understandable.
• Review links before scheduled broadcasts go out.
• Keep checkout links out of internal notes that may be copied publicly.

Team handoff

• Write down what changed, who owns the next review, and which page, customer record, campaign, or plugin record should be checked next.
• If the work affects customers, include the public URL, test result, and any unresolved placeholder media in the handoff note.
• When Faster AI helped prepare the change, ask it to summarize the draft and review checklist so a teammate can approve the work without retracing every click.
