# Checkout Link Builder

## What is the Checkout Link Builder?

The **Checkout Link Builder** is a tool in Skio that lets you quickly create direct-to-checkout links. You can add one or more products, set quantities, and apply discount codes in a single link. It is especially useful for campaigns or promotions where you want customers to check out with as little friction as possible.

## How do I set up a prefilled checkout link the Checkout Link Builder?

1. In your **Skio dashboard** click the **Acquire** drop-down, and select **Checkout Link Builder**.
2. Under **Checkout Link**, you’ll see a field where your link will generate once you've configured your products. Copy this URL and share it with your customer so they can check out in just a few clicks.
3. (Optional) Enter a **Discount Code:** If you have a discount code, add it here and it will be automatically applied to the checkout link.
4. Under **First product**, select the product to include in the cart.
5. Click **Add product** to include multiple products.

## What’s the difference between the Checkout Link Builder and Quick Action links?

**Checkout Link Builder**

- Creates prefilled checkout URLs that take shoppers straight to Shopify Checkout with the right product and selling plan.
- Best for acquisition and driving new purchases (ads, campaigns, PDP buttons, influencer links).
- Easier to debug since it goes directly to checkout.

**Quick Actions**

- Creates authenticated links for subscribers to manage their subscription (skip, delay, swap, add One-Time Upsell, reactivate, update card, etc.).
- Best for retention and lifecycle flows (emails, SMS, Klaviyo automations).
- More complex to debug since they’re tied to flows and require authentication logic.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Use Checkout Link Builder to get new customers subscribed. Use Quick Actions to keep existing subscribers happy and reduce churn.

A Discount Code is a promotional code that customers can apply to their subscriptions to receive a price reduction.

Quick Actions are links you can include in emails or SMS that let subscribers manage their subscriptions—like skipping a delivery, updating payment details, or swapping products—without logging into the Customer Portal.

A One-Time Upsell is an additional product offered to customers, intended to increase the average order value without requiring a subscription.
