Understanding Program Landing Pages, Checkout Pages, and Deep Links

Learn the difference between program landing pages, program checkout pages, and program deep links so you can choose the right link for every situation.

Written by Jordan Blake

Note: If your Program is a One-Time Purchase (OTP), its landing page and checkout page now live inside the Offer that wraps it, not on the Program itself. See OTP Programs → OTP Offers: What's Changing (and What's Not) for the full breakdown. Everything below still applies as-is to Subscription Programs, which keep their own standalone landing page.

Program Landing Page

A program landing page is the public, marketing-friendly page that anyone can view. It highlights what your program is, who it’s for, and what’s included.

For OTP Programs, this page is managed from the Offer's Price & Package tab. For Subscription Programs, it's managed directly on the Program.

What Users See

  • Program title and cover art

  • Description

  • Program layout (weeks, days, workouts)

  • Sample content (if applicable)

  • Buttons prompting users to subscribe or purchase

When to Use This Link

  • Promoting your program on social media

  • Linking from bios, newsletters, or websites

  • Running ads or directing traffic to learn about the program

  • Anytime you want users to understand what the program includes before they buy

Program Checkout Page

A program checkout page is the direct purchase flow. It skips the marketing details and takes users straight to payment.

For OTP Programs, grab this link from the Offer (or from the Program's Share button, which now points to the wrapping Offer). If a Program is part of more than one Offer, a shared/legacy link routes to the cheapest Offer by default — share directly from a specific Offer if you want a customer to land on a specific price.

What Users See

  • Price

  • Discount (if applied)

  • Payment details

  • Sign-in or account creation steps

When to Use This Link

  • Promotions with a discount code

  • Limited-time offers

  • “Buy Now” calls to action

  • Campaigns where reducing friction is important

Program Deep Link

A program deep link opens the program directly inside the Playbook consumer app. It bypasses the landing page and checkout flow entirely. This works the same for OTP and Subscription Programs.

What Users See

  • The program in-app exactly as an active subscriber sees it

  • Workouts, weeks, and full structure

  • Start/continue buttons (if they have access)

  • A paywall if they do not have access

When to Use This Link

  • Sharing content with existing subscribers

  • Sending access instructions to users who already purchased

  • Customer support messages

  • Personal communication or DMs where the user is already logged into the app
