Your checkout

Choose a checkout layout, then make it yours with your words, images and brand colours. The design library adds 20 different structures alongside the three classic layouts. Payment, tax and purchase rules stay consistent as you change the presentation.

DESIGN LIBRARY · SEPTEMBER 2026

20 new layouts. Your brand in every one.

From Offers, open an offer and find Choose your checkout design. Browse the library or choose a design from the list. Layout controls the arrangement; your brand colours are separate.

  1. Choose a structure. Editorial rail, Product gallery, Guided steps and the other designs arrange your content in distinct ways. Choose “Use classic layout above” to return to Standard, Compact or Hero.
  2. Make it yours. Set the brand accent, page background and panel background with six-digit hex colours. Blank fields use the defaults. Text contrast adapts to your colours.
  3. Add the details. Set your main image, up to five gallery images, a direct HTTPS video for Cinema, or up to eight titled story sections. Use sections for a course outline, product materials or purchase details.
  4. Preview before saving. Preview full design opens your unsaved appearance with the saved product price. Switch between Desktop and Phone, explore the steps or drawer, and close the preview to keep editing. Previewing creates no charge or order.
  5. Save and test. Save changes, then use the simulated test to review the full purchase journey. Changes to a shared product’s price or delivery still use the separate product review.

Offer choices and bundles

Plan picker, Comparison and Inline offers show the current offer plus up to three offers you explicitly select. Other choices must be live single-product offers in the same account and currency. A choice opens its own checkout, with its own price, renewal and delivery terms. Archived or unpublished choices disappear automatically.

Bundle builder uses the existing cart’s selectable items or a single offer’s optional extras. The layout does not create products or change prices. Buyers retain control over selections; live totals come from the server.

Images, physical products and payment methods

Use photographs that you own or have permission to use. Physical product examples show seller-arranged collection or fulfilment. These designs do not add shipping labels, stock management or an address-collection service. State your delivery arrangements clearly.

Express first gives connected payment methods a prominent place. Actual methods depend on your payment account, offer and buyer. The library’s example wallet is an illustration, not a promise that every method is available.

01 — The shape

Three layouts

Pick one per offer from the Template column on its row in the Offers table. The change saves the moment you choose it — there is no Save button.

TemplateWhat it isWhen
StandardTwo columns: the story and price on the left, payment on the right. On mobile, read the offer first and use Continue to payment to jump to the form.The all-rounder. Start here.
CompactOne narrow column at every width.A buyer who already decided. Low-price, quick purchases.
HeroA full-width banner image above both columns.When you have a real image worth leading with.
Hero with no banner image renders exactly like Standard. Not similar — identical, because the banner is the only difference. The Offers row tells you so under the Template select. If you pick Hero and see no change, that is why.

Below 900px there are no columns at all: the story comes first and the form second. On a phone your guarantee is read before your email field, which is worth knowing when you write it.

02 — The parts

The blocks, and where they land

Eleven things are yours to set. Each has a fixed home, so the only decision is what to say.

BlockWhere it renders
Banner imageTop of the story column — or above both columns on Hero.
HeadlineStory column, replacing the product name.
SubheadlineUnder the headline.
BulletsTicked list under the subheadline.
TestimonialsStory column, below the order summary — beside the form on desktop, above it on a phone.
GuaranteeFoot of the story column. Not beside the pay button.
DeadlineForm column, above the card fields.
Button text and accentThe pay button. The accent tints that button and nothing else.
Legal noteUnder the pay button, before payment — and repeated on the receipt.
LayoutWhich of the three templates above.

The order summary, the tax line and the bump box are not yours to place: the server computes them and puts them where they go. See the block map for the whole page drawn at once.

03 — Doing it

Putting it on your site

Three ways, and the first is usually right.

  • Hosted. Send the buyer to the checkout link. No script, works everywhere — including inside an email, where the other two cannot go.
  • Lightbox. A button on your page opens the checkout over it. Keeps them on your site.
  • Inline. The checkout renders inside your own page.
Or say this to your agent“Give me the inline embed code for the Joinery Course checkout.”

04 — Before a buyer does

Seeing it first

Every offer ships a test URL alongside its real one. It renders exactly what a buyer sees, with a yellow bar across the top that says so — no card, no charge — and you can click all the way through to the thank-you page.

Use it to check the words, the layout and the delivery before anything is live. The pre-payment legal notice renders in test mode too, so you can confirm that as well.

04b — Language

What language your checkout speaks

Your checkout can run entirely in German. Set it once in Settings → Defaults → Checkout language and the whole buying flow follows: field labels, the pay button, trial sentences with properly localized dates, coupon and card-decline messages, discount countdowns, the thank-you page, and the buyer's receipts.

Three rules worth knowing:

  • You choose, not the buyer. There is deliberately no language switcher on the page — your checkout is your storefront, and the merchant setting decides. English is the default.
  • Your own words are never translated. A custom button label or offer copy you wrote yourself renders exactly as you wrote it, in any language. Clear a custom label to get the translated default.
  • It applies to checkouts, not your dashboard. The dashboard stays in English; the setting is about what buyers see.

German is the first language because merchants asked for it — the machinery underneath is general, so tell us which language you need next.

05 — Diagnosis

If something looks wrong

I picked Hero and nothing changed. No banner image — see above. Hero without one is Standard.

My testimonials are not under the form. They are not meant to be: they live in the story column, beside the form on desktop and above it on a phone.

The accent colour barely changed anything. It tints the pay button. The guarantee box, the bump and the deadline pill have fixed colours.

The code box is missing. No coupon currently applies to that offer — see when the code field appears.

06 — Next
