Important Considerations

When adding this redirect via code, your landing page can no longer be edited from Site Builder. If you decide to use the Thinkific landing page in the future, you'll need to remove the redirect in order to customize it in Site Builder.

When Would I Use This?

External Site

This is used most commonly when you have an external site with sales pages already designed. Instead of pushing your prospects to your Thinkific site, you plan to promote your existing sales pages. This redirect prevents students from seeing your Thinkific product landing page instead, they'll be redirected to your external sales page.

Affiliate Tracking When Using an External Sales Page

Sometimes you will be promoting a sales page on your external site, but want to track affiliates using our Affiliate feature. By using a redirect on your product landing page in Thinkific, your affiliates can share their affiliate URL's from Thinkific, but visitors will be redirected to your actual sales page. On your sales page, you can then link back to the checkout page in Thinkific.

Thinkific affiliate tracking will only work if your customers purchase through the Thinkific checkout.

Since the student originally visited your Thinkific site through an affiliate link, they'll be tagged to the appropriate affiliate and the sale will also be linked to that affiliate!

Best Practices

When adding this redirect, your Thinkific page will briefly load before a visitor is redirected to the new page. The script is added to the Footer of your page, which means the redirect is the last item to load. Since this is the case, we recommend keeping all other elements on the page to a minimum so that your page loads faster, which will reduce the time that your Thinkific page is briefly visible.
