An Alternative to Convertkit? First Look at Flodesk Checkout!

Flodesk’s email management system is beloved by many for its gorgeous emails and simple interface. Flodesk Checkout is a new product from Flodesk that offers a similar simplicity with the added power of a beautiful sales page builder, Checkout page, and Delivery page.

I just got access to the Beta version of Flodesk Checkout and I did a first look behind the scenes video and I’m summarizing my thoughts here on the blog as well! You can watch the full Youtube video here:

Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Streamlines the sales process with style!
  • Robust sales and email integration – In the checkout options you can add people to up to three different segments depending on certain variables. A powerful tool for product specific followup!
  • The checkout page also has an up-sell feature to help increase your sales!

I sell a couple of digital products and I have been using Shopify Lite buttons with my Showit site. It’s clumsy at best and I’m so excited to be switching to Flodesk Checkout!

Cons:

  • No physical product sales capability at the moment: It’s currently set up to handle course sales, service sales, and digital download sales.
  • Card purchases only. It is integrated with Stripe so Paypal and the like are not an option.
  • No payment plan capability at this time.
  • Buttons on the sales page can only link to the checkout page at this time.
  • The sales page links seem be just random words/numbers at this point so it looks mess if typed out and since it’s all part of Flodesk, it wouldn’t help your website’s SEO.

Additional Notes & Thoughts

Something I forgot to note in the video: On the delivery page you can link to wherever you want people to go! So a download source, video resource, course login, you name it.
