Payment Link vs Paid Group vs Challenge Checkout

| Option | Best for | Payment type |

|---|---|---|

| Payment Link | One-time quick sale | One-time payment |

| Paid Group | Membership and subscriptions | One-time, monthly, yearly, promotional setups |

| Challenge checkout | Paid challenge registration | Challenge entry payment |

When to use a Payment Link

Use a Payment Link when you want to sell one simple thing quickly. This could be a file, session, workshop, webinar, or one-time product.

When to use a Paid Group

Use a Paid Group when the buyer should receive ongoing access, content, or membership. Paid Groups can support subscription models and more flexible recurring setups.

When to use Challenge checkout

Use Challenge checkout when the payment is connected to a challenge registration flow.

Best practice

Use the simplest checkout that matches the product experience. Do not use a full product flow when one link is enough. Do not use a Payment Link when the buyer needs an ongoing membership system.
