Enhanced Checkout

Enhanced Checkout

The Enhanced Checkout is a passwordless checkout experience designed to help you maximize conversions by removing friction and presenting high-impact content directly within the checkout flow. It allows you to showcase images, videos, AI-assisted sales copy, and custom messaging alongside the payment form—ensuring learners have everything they need to make a confident purchase decision. With no mandatory login or password required at checkout, users can complete purchases instantly and gain immediate access to their content. Enhanced Checkout pages are fully customizable for each course or bundle, or can be applied globally across your entire academy, giving you complete control over the checkout experience and visible form fields.

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial video explaining the complete Enhanced Checkout flow.

Accessing Course Checkout Settings & Enabling Enhanced Checkout

The Enhanced Checkout experience is enabled per course, allowing you to decide exactly which courses should use this checkout experience. Follow these steps to access checkout settings and enable Enhanced Checkout.


  1. Access your Edbound admin dashboard
  2. Click Courses & Bundles >  Courses
  3. Select the course you want to configure
  4. Click on Checkout
  5. Under Checkout Type select Enhanced Checkout
  6. Click Save Changes
Info
Note: Enhanced Checkout works for both free and paid courses or bundles. If you’re planning to sell your content, pricing must be configured before enabling Enhanced Checkout. To learn how to set this up, refer to these FAQs: Pricing your courses or pricing your bundles.

Additionally, please note that when creating a new course or bundle, if no price link is created, clicking the Preview button automatically generates a temporary price point for preview purposes. Please delete this price point if it is not required.

Configuring Checkout Settings and Checkout Type

Checkout Settings control how the Enhanced Checkout page looks and behaves for learners. Here's how to customize the checkout experience. 


  1. Click Courses & Bundles > Courses
  2. Select the course you want to configure
  3. Click on Checkout
  4. Choose the appropriate content position on checkout page
  5. Add the custom text for the checkout button
  6. Enable or disable

    2. Display Commercials for Free Price Point
  7. Click Save Changes
The options will be enabled instantly which can be reviewed by clicking on Preview as well.
Info
Note: To customize checkout button colors and the overall page theme, access the color options available in User Themes. Deselecting the coupon field or the commercials option will hide these options on the checkout page only when Enhanced Checkout is enabled.

Managing Enhanced Checkout Custom Fields

Name and email ID are default sign up fields. Adding custom fields allows you to capture additional learner information during the signup process. Here's how to configure the fields you want to display on checkout from the list of options already enabled. 


  1. Select additional custom fields from the list
  2. Click Save Changes
Info
Note: To add, edit or remove the custom field options available in this list, go to Sign Up & Checkout > Custom Fields. You can learn more about managing custom fields here: Add custom fields on signup page to request additional details

Adding and Formatting Enhanced Checkout Page Content

The Enhanced Checkout Page Content section uses a markdown editor that allows you to add content which appears alongside the signup form. Here's how:


  1. Add the content
  2.  Customize with given editing options
  3. Click Save Changes
You can also use the AI Content Generator to help write and structure your checkout content. Once done, click on Preview to check how the content is displayed. 

Important Considerations
  1. When creating a new course or bundle, if no price link is created, clicking the Preview button automatically creates a new price point for preview purposes. You can delete this price point if it is not required.
  2. To hide the coupon section on checkout, turn off Display Coupon Field in Enhanced Checkout settings.
  3. Turning off Display Commercials for Free Price Point removes the 0.00 pricing shown on the checkout page.
  4. The pricing option enabled on the landing page signup button is automatically used in Enhanced Checkout.
  5. The embed option uses iframe-based embeds. Any iframe-supported content can be added as required.
  6. Checkout button colors and page themes are managed from User Theme section.
  1. In case the images do not upload properly, you need to delete the previously uploaded image and reupload it and wait for the upload confirmation.
