• Signup & Enroll in one go. Your checkout page will automatically signup and enroll students to your Thinkific courses and bundles.
• Offer multiple payment options and processors to choose from.

Plans and Features

CheckoutJoy has 2 plans to choose from. By default the Essential Plan is selected when signing up.

*Excluding Apple Pay through Stripe

Which plan should you choose?

Choose Essential Plan if you just need a simple checkout with a supported payment processor(s) and different currencies then the *Essential plan is enough to get started.

Choose Pro Plan if you want a more complex checkout - like multiple currencies, automatic sales tax through Quaderno, Zapier integration or to record extra information on checkout like billing/shipping addresses, VAT numbers etc.

How it works

Installing the CheckoutJoy App for Thinkific adds a custom checkout section to your Thinkific Site Builder, which allows you to add a checkout section to any page within your Thinkific website.

Required Setup

Once you've installed the App, you need to complete the following 3 configuration steps to set up your CheckoutJoy account for the custom checkout section:

1. Create/Import your Products

CheckoutJoy needs your product information to correctly charge the customer.

You can simply import your Thinkific products using our import function located under Products.

2. Set up your payment processor details

In the CheckoutJoy dashboard

1. Navigate to Settings > Payment Methods
2. Select your payment processor and click on Add

3. Create a checkout page in Thinkific

Now that you've set up your products and payment details, you can create a checkout page in Thinkific with the Signup & Enroll Checkout Form.

Now that you've added your section you can edit it to set up your product and payment options.

To see all available configuration options, see the Signup & Enroll Checkout Form help page.

4. Custom Thank-you Pages

Because your checkout is happening outside of Thinkific, you can't use Thinkific's default thank-you pages. The easiest way to get around this is to create a custom thank-you page in Thinkific to use with all your checkouts.

The basic thank-you page contains the following

• A "thank you for buying the product" message
• A reminder to check their emails for any product related information
• A link to the login page to get started.
