When a customer purchases an Offer, Kajabi handles checkout, account creation, and product access automatically. This page covers what each step looks like from the customer’s perspective.
This page covers the experience for new customers. Existing customers must log in before purchasing additional Offers. Learn more about purchases made by existing customers.

Checkout page

The first step in the checkout flow is the Checkout Page. This is where customers enter their payment information to complete the purchase. Checkout page Before entering payment details, new customers may be prompted to submit their email address. This confirms they don’t already have an account on your site and creates a new customer profile. After submitting their email, customers complete any required fields and select their payment method. Learn how to customize a Checkout Page.

Upsells

If an Offer includes upsells configured in the Purchase Flow tab, customers are presented with an Upsell Offer after completing checkout. When an Upsell is presented, the customer can:
  • Select the custom purchase button to accept the Upsell. If accepted, it is processed as a separate transaction using the same payment method from the original purchase.
  • Select the custom cancel button to decline and continue to the next step.
Note: If an original Offer is connected to an Upsell Offer with a different type of payment method (e.g., Kajabi Payments, Stripe, or PayPal), the Upsell will use the same payment method used for the original Offer.
To learn more about Upsells and how to set them up, see Manage Upsells in the Purchase Flow.

Create an account or log in

After purchasing, the customer is prompted to enter their name and desired password. Account creation behavior depends on your Offer settings:
  • If Require new customers to create password at checkout is enabled, new customers create their password directly on the checkout page, and the Account Creation Page is skipped automatically.
  • If password creation is not required, customers are directed to the Account Creation Page after purchase to set their password and complete their account setup. Returning customers are directed to the Login Page.

Skip Account Creation page

You can control whether new customers see the Account Creation page from your Offer’s post-purchase settings.
  1. From the left side navigation, select Sales > Pricing > Offers
  2. Select an Offer
  3. In the Purchase flow tab, scroll to Post-purchase.

When Skip account creation page is enabled:
  • Customers are redirected to the selected existing landing page after purchase.
  • This setting is only available when Existing Landing Page is selected for post-purchase routing.
  • A sub-option appears: Send welcome email to new customers (recommended). This sends the default Member Welcome Email, which includes an invite link for the customer to set up their account.
Note: Cart post-purchase settings will override post-purchase settings configured at the individual offer level.
If both Require new customers to create password at checkout and Skip account creation page are enabled, the password setting takes priority. These settings apply to new customers only. When Upsells are present, post-purchase routing always follows the primary Offer. The email address entered at checkout and the password created on this page become the customer’s login credentials.
