Checkout for Freemius created by Dreamfox Media helps WordPress developers and theme authors monetize digital products with a simple Freemius Checkout buy button. Add a shortcode to any page or post and start selling plugin licenses, theme licenses, subscriptions, and SaaS plans without building a custom checkout flow.

Why use this plugin?

  • Sell WordPress plugins and themes from your own website, landing page, or documentation.
  • Accept subscriptions and one-time payments through the official Freemius Checkout overlay.
  • Launch faster with a lightweight shortcode instead of custom payment integration.
  • Works with modern WordPress and loads checkout assets only when the shortcode is used.

Perfect for

  • WordPress plugin developers using Freemius
  • Theme authors selling premium themes or add-ons
  • SaaS and subscription-based WordPress products
  • Agencies promoting client plugins with a direct buy button
  • WooCommerce store owners who also sell Freemius-licensed products
