What is Checkout Links?

Updated yesterday

Checkout Links is a Shopify app that lets you create smart, shareable links that send customers straight to checkout with a pre-filled cart — complete with products, discounts, and promotions already applied.

Why Use Checkout Links?

Every extra step between a customer seeing your offer and completing a purchase is a chance for them to drop off. Checkout Links removes that friction by letting you:

  • Skip the browsing — Send customers directly to checkout or an optimized landing page with the exact products you want them to buy

  • Auto-apply promotions — Discounts, free gifts, and free shipping are applied automatically when the customer clicks

  • Personalize the experience — Use dynamic links to customize carts for individual customers

  • Track everything — Built-in analytics and UTM tracking show you exactly which links drive sales

Where Can You Use Checkout Links?

Checkout Links work anywhere you can share a URL:

  • Email campaigns — Klaviyo, Omnisend, Drip, Mailchimp, or any email tool

  • SMS marketing — Postscript, Attentive, Klaviyo SMS, or any SMS platform

  • Social media — Instagram bio, Facebook posts, TikTok, Pinterest

  • Chatbots — ManyChat, Tidio, or any chat platform

  • QR codes — Print materials, packaging, in-store displays

  • Ads — Facebook, Google, TikTok ads with direct checkout links

  • Influencer partnerships — Unique links with special offers for each influencer
