One-time payments
How to charge a single payment for a product, service, or course
What is a one-time payment?
A one-time payment charges the customer once. There are no further charges, and nothing to cancel.
Use it to sell products, services, downloads, or courses that a customer buys outright.
How to create a checkout with a one-time payment
- Go to Storefront → Checkout pages.
- Click Create checkout page.
- Enter a Product title.
- Under Billing, select One-time payment.
- Under Pricing, select Fixed price.
- Enter the amount in the Price field.
- Select a currency from the Currency dropdown.
- Click Create checkout.
The checkout opens in the edit view, on the Product → Details tab. That's where you change the price later, add a highlight, or add more prices.
Minimum amounts
Each currency has a minimum charge. Entering less than the minimum shows a validation error, and the page can't be created until the amount is raised.
When the customer is charged
The full amount is charged as soon as the customer completes checkout. Nothing recurs, and no subscription is created.
What you can add to a one-time price
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Setup fee | A one-off charge on top of the price. Multiply by quantity charges it for each item rather than once per order — this only has an effect if the checkout has a quantity selector |
| Discounted from | Shows the original price alongside the current one. Not available with pay what you want |
| Label, description and highlight | Names the price and adds a badge such as Recommended or 20% OFF. Added under Product → Details once the checkout exists |
Charging more than one price on the same page
A checkout can offer several prices — a one-time purchase alongside a subscription, for example — and the customer picks one. Click Add price under Product → Details.
