Is Checkout Links a PageFly replacement?

Only if you're using PageFly primarily for campaign landing pages. PageFly is a true visual page editor — drag-and-drop sections, custom layouts, advanced animations. Checkout Links doesn't try to do that. What it does is land the visitor on a pre-loaded Shopify checkout (or a lightweight pre-checkout page) in two clicks instead of a build job.

What does Checkout Links cost compared to PageFly?

Checkout Links is $25/month with a 7-day free trial. PageFly has a free plan with limits, then $24, $39, $79, $129/month tiers depending on the number of pages and features.

Yes, plenty of merchants do. PageFly for the evergreen marketing pages, Checkout Links for the campaign volume — ad-to-cart links, SMS blasts, influencer drops, QR campaigns.

Does Checkout Links give me a designed page?

Optionally. There's a pre-checkout mode that renders a lightweight product-grid + live-cart page when you don't want to send the customer straight to checkout. It picks up your brand colour and product imagery automatically. It's not pixel-customisable like PageFly — by design.

Will my existing PageFly pages still work?

Yes — Checkout Links doesn't touch your existing pages. A Checkout Link can live as the CTA *inside* a PageFly-built page.

PageFly alternative: Checkout Links

PageFly is one of the most-installed page builders on Shopify for a reason: it's powerful, well-supported, and lets you build pages that would otherwise need a developer. If your roadmap calls for custom long-form pages, PageFly is a fine choice.

But here's the question worth asking: are you using PageFly because you need a page builder, or because you needed somewhere to send a campaign to a pre-loaded cart? If it's the second, you're carrying a lot of tool for a small job.

When PageFly is the right call

You need pixel-level page design. Long-form launch pages with custom sections, parallax animations, embedded video, A/B-tested headlines — PageFly does this and Checkout Links explicitly does not.
You're building evergreen marketing pages. Product pages, brand stories, ambassador pages — anything that lives on your site for months and earns traffic via SEO needs a real page builder.
Your team includes a designer or front-end developer. PageFly rewards investment. Checkout Links is built for merchants without that resource.

Where Checkout Links pulls ahead

Time to a working campaign

PageFly: pick a template, edit sections, add the product block, set up the cart embed, QA on mobile, publish, copy URL. 30 minutes minimum, often more.

Checkout Links: pick products, optional discount, copy URL. Under a minute.

For one-off campaign work that's run-and-discard, the time cost dominates.

Discount field that never appears

PageFly pages dump customers into Shopify checkout with the discount-code field visible. Customers have to type, paste, or remember the code. Checkout Links applies discounts via Shopify Functions, so the field never appears — the price is just right.

Per-link, per-source attribution

PageFly shows you page-level metrics. Checkout Links shows you which specific link, ad creative, segment, or recipient drove which order. The difference matters once you're running more than 5 variants of the same offer.

QR codes that go to checkout

Every Checkout Link includes a branded QR code download. PageFly has no native QR output.

The combined-stack play

Most merchants don't replace PageFly — they pair it. PageFly for evergreen marketing pages. Checkout Links for the high-frequency stuff: paid social, SMS, abandoned cart, influencer links, in-store QR.

If you've got a PageFly plan running at $39/mo or more and the majority of pages you ship are campaign landing pages, downgrade to the cheapest PageFly tier and add Checkout Links. Total spend drops, time-to-launch drops more.
