Setting Up Your Integration
Getting started with the CheckoutJoy-Kajabi integration is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a seamless connection between your platforms.
Offer Integration
The quickest way to connect CheckoutJoy with your Kajabi products is through offer integration. This method uses Kajabi's webhook system to:
- Automatically grant access to your products when a customer completes payment
- Revoke access when a subscription is canceled or payment fails
When adding your Kajabi offers to CheckoutJoy, you'll need to provide two essential webhook URLs:
- Offer Activation URL: Grants access to your product after successful payment
- Deactivation URL: Revokes access when a subscription ends or payment fails
We'll show you exactly where to find these URLs in the sections below.
API Key Integration (New Feature)
For enhanced automation, CheckoutJoy now integrates with the new Kajabi API (released in 2025). This advanced integration enables:
- Automatic customer creation in Kajabi
- Seamless offer granting after successful purchases
- Improved data synchronization between platforms
To use this feature, you'll need to:
- Enable the API feature in your Kajabi account settings
- Create a
User API Key
with appropriate permissions
For detailed instructions, refer to Kajabi's official API guide (opens in a new tab).

- Minimal Setup: Just add our code snippet to your Kajabi checkout settings
- Familiar Experience: Customers stay within the standard Kajabi checkout flow

When a customer selects your custom payment option, CheckoutJoy securely processes the transaction through your connected payment processor in a popup window.
What Happens After a Successful Checkout
When your customer completes their purchase through CheckoutJoy, our system automatically:
- Processes the payment through your selected payment processor
- Adds the customer to your Kajabi customer database
- Activates access to the purchased offer in Kajabi
- Redirects the customer to your configured Offer Thank You page
Customer Communication
Kajabi automatically sends appropriate emails based on the customer's status:
Customer Type | Emails Received |
---|---|
New Members | • Member welcome email with system-generated password • Offer grant confirmation email |
Existing Members | • Offer grant confirmation email only |
This ensures a smooth onboarding experience while maintaining your existing Kajabi email communication flow.
Essential Webhook Configuration
For your integration to work properly, you'll need to configure three critical elements in Kajabi. These settings ensure customers gain access to your products after purchase and are directed to the right page after checkout.
Activation Webhook URL
The Activation Webhook is essential for granting customers access to your products after successful payment. Without this, customers won't receive access to what they've purchased.
Where to find it: In your Kajabi offer settings under More Actions > Webhooks

Deactivation Webhook URL
The Deactivation Webhook automatically revokes access when:
- A customer cancels their subscription
- A recurring payment fails
- A subscription period ends
This ensures only paying customers maintain access to your content.
Where to find it: In your Kajabi offer settings under More Actions > Webhooks

Thank You Page URL
The Thank You Page URL determines where customers are redirected after completing their purchase. A well-designed thank you page can:
- Confirm the purchase was successful
- Provide next steps for accessing the product
- Offer additional resources or upsells
Where to find it: At the bottom right of your Kajabi Offer configuration page

Implementing Your Checkout Solution
Once you've configured your webhooks, you're ready to add the CheckoutJoy checkout functionality to your Kajabi site. Follow these steps to get up and running quickly.
Adding the Simple Buy-Now Button
For the Simple Buy-Now Button option, you'll need to add a small code snippet to your Kajabi settings:
<script src="https://cdn.checkoutjoy.com/cj-kajabi.js"></script>
<script>
CheckoutJoy.render({
key: 'YOUR_KEY_HERE',
});
</script>
Where to Add Your Code
The most efficient way to implement the button is through Kajabi's Checkout Tracking Code section:

Step-by-Step Implementation
- Copy the code snippet from your CheckoutJoy Dashboard (opens in a new tab) under Kajabi Integration Settings
- Replace
YOUR_KEY_HERE
with your unique API key - In Kajabi, navigate to Settings > Checkout Settings
- Scroll down to the Checkout Tracking Code section
- Paste your code into the Footer Tracking Code field
- Click Save to apply your changes
Verifying Your Integration
After saving your changes:
- Visit any of your offer checkout pages
- Refresh the page to load your new payment button
- You should see your CheckoutJoy payment options in the checkout area
Important: Your payment buttons will only appear if you've added your Kajabi Offer (opens in a new tab) to your CheckoutJoy account.
Congratulations! You've successfully integrated CheckoutJoy with your Kajabi site, giving your customers more payment options and enhancing your checkout experience.
