Lesson 5.2: Creating a Funnel

By /

Goal of this Lesson:
Use FunnelKit Lite to build your complete 3-step funnel: a custom landing page, optimized checkout page, and thank-you page — all inside WordPress using Elementor.

🧠 What You’re About to Build

Here’s the full flow:

  1. Landing Page – Sells your course
  2. Checkout Page – Clean and branded
  3. Thank You Page – Confirms purchase and gives next steps

Everything lives inside FunnelKit > Store Checkout, giving you more control than WooCommerce’s default pages.

🔁 Step 1: Create a New Store Checkout Funnel

  1. Go to FunnelKit > Store Checkout
  2. Click Create Store Checkout
  3. Choose the “Optimized Checkout” template
  4. Name your funnel (e.g., “Main Funnel” or “Course Sales Funnel”)
  5. Click Import

Now your funnel has:

  • A checkout page
  • A thank-you page

We’ll create the landing page manually in the next step.

🎨 Step 2: Create Your Landing Page (Manual Setup)

FunnelKit Lite doesn’t include a dedicated landing page step, but you can easily create one with Elementor:

  1. Go to Pages > Add New
  2. Title it “Course Landing Page” (or just “Course”)
  3. Click Edit with Elementor
  4. Build out your sales pitch:
    • Headline
    • Bullet points or modules
    • Testimonials
    • CTA button:
      Link directly to your FunnelKit checkout page
      Format: pgsqlCopyEdit/checkout/?add-to-cart=123 (Replace 123 with your course product ID)

💡 Tip: You can find your FunnelKit checkout page URL under FunnelKit > Store Checkout > View.

🛍️ Step 3: Customize the Checkout Page

Go to FunnelKit > Store Checkout > Edit > Checkout Step

From here you can:

  • Change or hide form fields (e.g., remove phone number)
  • Adjust labels and button text
  • Edit styles and layout using Elementor
  • Preview the checkout to see how it looks live

✅ Step 4: Customize the Thank You Page

Go to FunnelKit > Store Checkout > Edit > Thank You Step

Use Elementor to:

  • Say “Thank you” and confirm their purchase
  • Let them know what to expect (e.g., “Check your email for access”)
  • Optionally add a “Log in” link or support contact

✨ You’re turning a generic WooCommerce thank-you page into something personal and trust-building.

🔁 Step 5: Set Funnel as Global Checkout (Important!)

Go to FunnelKit > Settings > Checkout Settings
Set your new funnel as the Global Checkout for WooCommerce.
Click Save.

Now, whenever someone buys a product, they’ll go through your custom checkout flow instead of the default WooCommerce experience.
