You can take payments directly on a Gym Lead Machine funnel or landing page by connecting Stripe and adding an Order Form to the page. This article uses the Kilo Nutrition Challenge landing page as its example, converting it from a link-out page to direct purchase, and the same steps work for any funnel or landing page in Gym Lead Machine.
What you can do with order forms
Connect Stripe to Gym Lead Machine
Sell one-time or recurring products from a funnel or landing page
Convert a link-out landing page, like the Nutrition Challenge, to direct purchase
Send buyers to a thank-you page after checkout
Review purchases in Payments → Orders
Set up Stripe and your product
Complete these steps before you add the Order Form. The form pulls its product details from your funnel settings, so it can't work correctly until Stripe is connected and a product is attached to the funnel.
Connect Stripe
Go to Settings → Integrations.
Click Continue under the Stripe logo.
Follow the prompts to connect your account through Stripe Connect.
If Stripe is already connected, skip to the next section.
Create the product you're selling
In the left menu, go to Payments → Products.
Click + Create Product.
Set the product up as a one-time or recurring payment.
Recurring products can also be created in Stripe first. To bring one into Gym Lead Machine, click Import from Stripe on the Products page instead of creating the product from scratch.
Attach the product to your funnel
Go to Builder → Funnels.
Click the funnel or landing page you're using for this product.
Click Products on the right side of the screen, between Overview and Publishing.
Select the product you created from the drop-down menu.
This tells Gym Lead Machine which product to fill into the Order Form on this page.
Add the order form to your page
With Stripe connected and your product attached, you're ready to add the Order Form. The video at the top of this article walks through adding the form to the pop-up on the Nutrition Challenge page and covers the form's customization options.
In the editor, the order form shows a Dynamic Item in place of your product. It updates to your product automatically when you preview or launch the page, as long as the product is attached in the funnel settings.
Send buyers to a thank-you page
When an order is complete, the Order Form has to send the buyer to a next step: a thank-you page in your funnel or a URL on your website.
If the Order Form has no next step, the payment still processes, but your buyer sees an error message after paying. Set up a thank-you page before you publish the page.
Create a thank-you page
Open the main page for your funnel and click Add New Step.
Name the page Thank You and enter /thank-you, or something similar, as the path.
Select Use Existing.
Choose to duplicate the Kilo Nutrition Challenge funnel's main page.
When the new page is created, click it to edit.
Delete the elements you don't need, including the elements on the pop-up.
Update the heading at the top of the page to thank the buyer for their purchase or registration.
Save all changes.
Set the order form to go to the next step
Return to the main Nutrition Challenge page and click it to edit.
Click the Pop Up button to open the pop-up settings.
Click the Order Form.
In the left menu, scroll down to Sale Actions and make sure it's set to Go to Next Step.
Save all changes before you exit.
Your landing page is now ready to take orders.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I see purchases made through my order form?
Go to Payments → Orders in the left menu of your Gym Lead Machine account. Every purchase made through an Order Form appears there.
Why does my order form say Dynamic Item instead of my product?
That's expected in the editor. The Dynamic Item updates to your product when you preview or launch the page. If it still doesn't show your product, check that the product is attached in the funnel's Products settings.
Why did my buyer see an error message after paying?
The Order Form probably isn't sending buyers to a next step. The payment still went through. Open the Order Form, scroll to Sale Actions, and set it to Go to Next Step, with a thank-you page added to the funnel.
Can I sell a recurring membership or subscription with an order form?
Yes. Products can be one-time or recurring payments. You can create a recurring product in Payments → Products, or create it in Stripe and bring it in with Import from Stripe.
Can I add an order form to a funnel other than the Nutrition Challenge?
Yes. The same steps work for any Gym Lead Machine funnel or landing page. Connect Stripe, attach your product to the funnel, add the Order Form, and give it a next step to send buyers to.
