      • Why does the funnel warn me that the checkout offer is not approved?

      Because the offer linked to that checkout page is not approved yet — and until it is, the checkout will not complete any purchase. The warning is there so you don't send traffic to a page that cannot sell.

      Building the funnel with an offer still under review is allowed: you can get everything ready while you wait for approval. What does not happen is the sale.

      Prerequisite: access to Create → Funnels and to Products with the Owner, Admin, or Editor role.

      Where the warning shows up

      • On the step card, inside the funnel: a yellow strip reading Checkout won't sell, with each problem offer and its reason listed below.
      • When publishing, in the publish modal: a yellow block stating how many checkout pages won't sell, plus a warning triangle on each affected page row.

      The warning covers both the main offer and any order bump. A single unapproved order bump is enough to stop the whole checkout from selling, even when the main offer is approved — which is why it shows in the list labelled Order bump.

      Fix the warning

      1. Click the flagged offer in the warning, either on the step card or in the publish modal. The offer opens in Products in a new tab — the funnel stays open in the original tab.
      2. Complete whatever is missing in the product and offer details.
      3. Submit the product for review. Timing and how moderation works are covered in How does product approval work in Clickmax?.
      4. Once the offer is approved, reload the funnel. The warning clears when the funnel reads the offer status again.

      What each reason means

      • Awaiting approval — the offer was submitted and is in the moderation queue. Just wait.
      • Incomplete / Ready to submit — details are missing, or they are complete but the product has not been submitted for review yet.
      • Awaiting corrections — moderation asked for changes; fix them and resubmit.
      • Rejected — the offer did not pass review. Revise the details before resubmitting.
      • Archived — the offer is archived and cannot be sold; pick another offer on the checkout step.
      • Out of stock — physical product with no stock available; update the stock in Products.
      • Unavailable — the offer is not sellable for another reason. Open it in Products to see what it needs.

      If it didn't work

      • The warning stays after approval: reload the funnel. Offer status is read together with the product catalogue, and a tab left open for a long time may still show the previous status.
      • No offer is flagged, but the checkout still doesn't sell: check your seller registration — without it no charge completes, regardless of the offer.
      • The step shows no offer at all: the page has no offer selected yet. Use Configure Offers on the step card, as described in Can I use a product from another project in my funnel?.
