Steady Checkout lets visitors become paying members without leaving your website. When someone chooses a plan, they sign up and pay — all on your site. View a demo →
How to set up Steady Checkout
If you haven't already, add the Steady Code to your website — one line of code that enables all Steady integrations to run on your site.
Go to your Checkout settings and enter the URL of the page where the Checkout should appear. You'll need a dedicated page for this — for example
https://my-homepage.com/subscribe. It cannot be your homepage. All Steady calls-to-action (from your paywall, adblock detection, and other layers) will link to this URL.On that page, add a paragraph containing only the following keyword:
INSERT_STEADY_CHECKOUT_HERE
This text won't be visible on your site — it just tells Steady where to display the Checkout. If you edit HTML directly, use this tag instead:
<div id="insert_steady_checkout_here" style="display: none;"></div>Optionally, set up a thank you page where new members are redirected after signing up. Enter its URL in Checkout settings under "Thank you URL". If you leave this blank, members will see Steady's default thank you message.
Click "Save".
Note: Checkout and the Paywall cannot be placed on the same page.
The Checkout isn't showing up?
You're using more than one URL
The Checkout only works on the exact domain you registered with Steady — entered under Integration > Setup. For example, if you registered http://mysite.de, the Checkout won't work at https://mysite.de.
If your site has multiple URL versions (http/https, with/without www), redirect all of them to one canonical version — ideally the https version. This is standard practice and also benefits SEO. Your web host can help with setting up redirects.
You have no active plans
The Checkout only appears when you have at least one active membership plan. If all your plans have been archived, the Checkout won't display.
