SMALL BUSINESS FEATURE
Small Business Product Spotlight: Checkout Pages
This year, one of our most impactful feature launches was Checkout Pages, a game-changer for businesses and non-profits looking to take their operations online quickly and effortlessly. Designed to simplify e-commerce, Checkout Pages empower users to sell products, collect membership fees, and accept donations with ease—all while keeping funds directly deposited into their accounts at their financial institution.
What Makes Checkout Pages Stand Out?
Checkout Pages are a flexible, user-friendly solution for businesses of all sizes. Here’s what sets them apart:
- Quick and Simple Setup: Users can create a functional e-commerce page in just a few clicks by adding a product name and price.
- Customizable Options: Detailed product descriptions and fields for additional customer information make Checkout Pages versatile for a variety of use cases.
- Seamless Sharing: Share pages via text, email, websites, QR code, or social media, helping businesses connect with customers wherever they are.
The Value for Businesses and Financial Institutions
Small businesses and non-profits often face barriers when moving online, but Checkout Pages eliminate these hurdles with a streamlined setup process. For financial institutions, this feature strengthens customer relationships by offering a powerful payment solution that keeps deposits in-house.
The Impact
Since its release, Checkout Pages have enabled businesses and non-profits to modernize their payment processes and expand their reach. From selling products to collecting donations, this feature has proven to be one of our most valuable updates in 2024.
"[Checkout Pages] came out, and it seemed more versatile and appropriate for what I was doing. That morning, within about 10 minutes, I had my first page created, wrote up an email, sent it out, and already had people who paid. The feedback I got was that it was easy-peasy. Thanks a lot for doing this."

"Everyone’s scrolling on Instagram, especially kids in our wheelhouse of advertising. Or families—moms and dads that are on there—they see this program, look at it, and can go into our bio, click on the link I have there, and find the programs and links [to our Checkout Pages]."
