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:

  1. Enable the API feature in your Kajabi account settings
  2. Create a User API Key with appropriate permissions

For detailed instructions, refer to Kajabi's official API guide (opens in a new tab).

How Each Integration Option Works

Checkout Widget

The Checkout Widget is our most flexible solution that can be embedded anywhere on your Kajabi site:

  • Easy Installation: Simply add a Custom Code section to any Kajabi page and paste our widget code
  • Full Feature Set: Access all CheckoutJoy features including multiple currencies, coupons, and tax calculation
  • Customizable Display: Choose between inline embedding or popup modal formats
  • Seamless Experience: Keep customers on your site throughout the checkout process

Custom Checkout Page

  • Professional Design: Fully responsive, conversion-optimized checkout pages
  • Hosted Solution: We handle all the technical aspects of payment processing
  • Complete Feature Set: All CheckoutJoy features are available, including abandoned cart recovery
  • Simple Implementation: Just redirect your CTA buttons to your custom checkout URL

To implement: Update your call-to-action buttons to point to your CheckoutJoy checkout page URL instead of the default Kajabi offer URL.

Simple Buy-Now Button (Legacy Option)

This lightweight option embeds directly into your existing Kajabi checkout pages:

  • Alternative Payment Methods: Offer payment options beyond Kajabi's default Stripe and PayPal
  • Minimal Setup: Just add our code snippet to your Kajabi checkout settings
  • Familiar Experience: Customers stay within the standard Kajabi checkout flow
  • Global Payment Support: Accept payments via Klarna, GiroPay, iDEAL, and more

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:

  1. Processes the payment through your selected payment processor
  2. Adds the customer to your Kajabi customer database
  3. Activates access to the purchased offer in Kajabi
  4. Redirects the customer to your configured Offer Thank You page

Customer Communication

Kajabi automatically sends appropriate emails based on the customer's status:

Customer TypeEmails 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:

Adding CheckoutJoy payment methods to Kajabi checkout settings

Step-by-Step Implementation

  1. Copy the code snippet from your CheckoutJoy Dashboard (opens in a new tab) under Kajabi Integration Settings
  2. Replace YOUR_KEY_HERE with your unique API key
  3. In Kajabi, navigate to Settings > Checkout Settings
  4. Scroll down to the Checkout Tracking Code section
  5. Paste your code into the Footer Tracking Code field
  6. 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.
