The author is not a Payhip employee or official representative.\n\nCreating a Carrd landing page that connects to Payhip without building a backend is possible. Payhip offers a safer and simpler architecture: a Carrd or static page leads to a Payhip product page or direct checkout, where hosted payment and product delivery occur. The Carrd page explains the offer, while the payment platform manages the payment flow.\n\nTwo main options exist for integrating Carrd with Payhip. Option 1 involves sending visitors to the Payhip product page. This is the safest default when the buyer needs more information before purchasing. The Carrd button should have a clear description, such as \"View template details\" or \"See what's included.\" The button URL should match the full Payhip product URL. No JavaScript is required for this method.\n\nOption 2 involves linking directly to Payhip checkout. If the landing page provides all necessary information for the buyer to decide, a direct checkout removes an intermediate page. The Payhip checkout URL format is https://payhip.com/buy?link=PRODUCT_KEY. In Carrd, paste the same direct-checkout URL into the button's URL field. Use a descriptive label like \"Buy the template – US$19\" to make the action and price clear before clicking.\n\nCarrd's Share / Embed controls provide a third option, an embed button. Payhip generates a snippet for the document's head and another for the desired button location. However, this option is not available for tiered-priced courses, memberships, coaching products, or bundles. Confirm the supported product types before choosing this method.\n\nWhen creating the Carrd landing page, ensure the following:\n- No payment processor secret keys, Payhip account passwords, private API credentials, or buyer data should be included.\n- Avoid code that tries to capture card details before redirecting.\n- Keep every value in the page visible to visitors, as it is public.\n- Add a sentence near the button explaining that secure checkout and digital delivery are handled by Payhip.\n- Run a QA checklist after publishing, including testing buttons on desktop and mobile, confirming product details, and verifying licensing.\n\nDecide between the product page link and direct checkout based on whether the landing page answers every purchase-critical question:\n- No: Link to the Payhip product page\n- Yes: Consider the direct checkout link\n\nUltimately, the integration can be achieved with a single ordinary URL. Carrd handles presentation, while Payhip manages the hosted commerce flow. This boundary simplifies building, maintains safety, and makes testing easier.",
