How to create a payment method in myflow

Learn how to create a payment method in myflow to sell your digital products, courses, coaching sessions, and communities. Set up pricing, payment options, how long buyers keep access, and advanced settings like discounts and validity.


Payment methods let you sell your digital products directly through myflow. Whether you're selling a course, coaching session, community access, or any other digital product - you create a payment method to handle the checkout.

Add your products

  1. Go to Toolbox > Payments in the sidebar navigation.

  2. Click New Payment method in the top right corner.

  3. Click Add product on the Products tab.

  4. Choose the type of product you want to add: Content, Coaching session, Community, Reusable product, or Product.

💡 Note: Use the Product option if you want to sell digital products that are not created within myflow, such as an e-book or PDF.

Configure settings

  1. Click the Settings tab to continue.

  2. Enter a Payment method title - this is what your customers see during purchase and on the checkout page.

  3. Select a Payment method type:

    • Page Builder link — creates a checkout page you can embed or link to from your myflow website or landing page.

    • Send Direct link — generates a shareable payment link you can send directly to a customer via email or message.

  4. Set the Price (excl. VAT) - if you have multiple products in a single payment method, enter the total price.

  5. Enter the VAT Percentage.

  6. Choose your instalment type: Single payment, Monthly instalments, or Recurring payments.

  7. Choose how long buyers keep access under Access to included products (shown for Single payment and Monthly instalments): Lifetime access or Limited time. See the next section.

  8. Toggle your payment options under Payable via — choose Invoice, Stripe (card), or both.

  9. Choose a Purchase completed page (optional): the page buyers are sent to after they've finished their purchase. See "How do I choose the page buyers see after a purchase?" below.

💡 Note: To accept Stripe payments, you need to validate your Stripe settings first.

How long do buyers keep access to what they bought?

In a myflow payment method, the Access to included products setting on the Settings tab decides how long buyers keep access to the courses, communities and coaching sessions in that payment method. The setting is shown when the instalment type is Single payment or Monthly instalments:

  • Lifetime access (default): buyers keep access to the included courses, communities and coaching sessions with no end date.

  • Limited time: enter an Access period in days, from 1 to 3650. Access starts on the purchase date and ends when the access period is over. Below the field, myflow shows when access would end for someone who buys today, for example "Bought today, access ends on November 8, 2026."

With Recurring payments, the Access to included products setting isn't shown. Buyers of a myflow subscription keep access for as long as the subscription runs. If the subscription is cancelled, they keep access until the end of the period they have already paid for.

You see the end date of each purchase on the order in Toolbox > Payments > Orders (Access ends on), and buyers see Access until and the date next to the course in their user area. Read more in How to manage your orders in myflow.

💡 Note: Access period is not the same as the validity dates on the Advanced tab. The access period decides how long a buyer keeps access after buying. Valid from / Valid through decide during which dates people can buy through the payment method.

How do I choose the page buyers see after a purchase?

In a myflow payment method, the Purchase completed page field on the Settings tab decides which page buyers are sent to after they've finished their purchase. The field searches the pages in your own myflow account by name. It isn't a link field, so a pasted URL isn't saved.

To choose the purchase completed page for a payment method in myflow:

  1. Open the payment method and click the Settings tab.

  2. Click in the Purchase completed page field and start typing the name of the page.

  3. Click the page in the list of suggestions.

  4. Click Create payment method, or Update payment method if you're editing an existing one.

The page's name now shows in the Purchase completed page field, and buyers land on that page after a completed purchase.

💡 Note: Only pages that are published, public, not password-protected and don't require login show up in the Purchase completed page list. If a page is missing, check those settings on the page.

Set advanced options

  1. Click the Advanced tab.

  2. Toggle Tag contact on purchase if you want to automatically tag customers who buy through this payment method - useful for filtering and automations triggering.

  3. Adjust any additional settings: maximum number of purchases, currency, discount, and validity dates (Valid from / Valid through). The validity dates decide when people can buy through the payment method, not how long buyers keep access.

Finalize your payment method

  1. Review the summary on the right side of the page. The summary also shows the Access buyers get, for example 30 days.

  2. Click Create payment method.
