We're equally as excited for you to implement Sticky.io Checkout and launch. But this is one of two necessary steps before integrating Sticky.io Checkout.

As it stands today - Sticky.io Checkout automatically pulls in your Shopify products during the implementation process and automatically creates an offer. But as we'll explore later, you need a campaign to map everything to. However, to create a campaign you first need a product and offer.

This has historically been the setup process - though with the introduction of Sticky.io Checkout, this design philosophy is being reconsidered. That said, this should only take a few minutes since the intent is to create a mock product, offer, while creating our actual billing models and campaigns. While Sticky.io Checkout does the remainder of our heavy lifting.

Without further ado, let's begin!
​

Once signed in, you'll land on your Dashboard. Let's start by navigating over to Products > Categories.

Once loaded, navigate to Actions > Add Category. As discussed earlier, the intent here is to satiate the platform requirements to integrate Sticky.io Checkout and for this it's suggested to just create a mock category.

I'm naming the category and category description "Sticky.io Checkout".

Next, we'll want to create a mock product. Let's navigate over to Products > Products.

Following, Actions > Add Product > Product > Next.

There are 5 requirements for saving a product in Sticky.io.

Following, click Save.

Contrary to the other parts of this exercise, we do want to take some time and create the billing models you'd actually like to offer to your customers. Out of the box, Sticky.io comes with "One Time Purchase".

We'll need to create other forms of continuity such as Monthly or Yearly.

To begin, navigate to Products > Billing Models > Actions > Add Billing Model.

Sticky.io supports a wide array of billing models and this article wouldn't do this component justice. For this exercise, we're just creating a simple Monthly billing model. To learn more about Billing Models, please click here.

Let's start by naming the Billing Model "Monthly". Following, Billing Model Type > Bill by Cycle > 30 Days > Save.

Next - we'll need to create an Offer. An offer is a marriage between products and billing models. It's how you tell Sticky.io what product can be sold with what billing models. For this exercise, we're creating an offer that just contains the mock product and billing model we created a few moments ago.

Let's start by navigating over to Products > Offers > Actions > Add Offer > Standard > Next.

Once loaded, we'll choose our One Time Purchase & Monthly Billing Models.

Then we'll add our "Sticky.io Checkout" mock product and click Save.

Similarly to your Billing Models, here we want to take our time and actually configure Shipping Profiles as these are what your customers will see during checkout.

Whether it's Free Shipping or a flat rate we'll create them here and should only take a minute.

To begin, we'll navigate to Products > Shipping Profiles.

Shipping is segmented into two categories.

Let's tackle Groups, first. Actions > Add Shipping Group.

Next is our Shipping Methods. Actions > Add Shipping Method.

We're almost done! The last step we're covering in this article is spinning up your first Campaign.

A campaign acts as a 'wrapper' to all of the components in Sticky.io. Your campaign contains your offer which contains your billing model and products. Any integrations such as fulfillment, payment gateways, fraud tools and a considerable amount more. For an in-depth overview of campaigns, click or tap here.

Similar to our Billing Models, Shipping Profiles, the campaign is to to be taken seriously since this is what we'll end up using to connect with Sticky Checkout.

To begin, let's navigate to Products > Campaigns > Actions > Add Campaign.

With how important Campaigns are in the grand scheme of Sticky.io most of the components here are required.

After you're done, Click Save.

Once you're ready, let's jump to - Prerequisites #2 - Adding & Configuring Your Payment Gateways.
