What is this?
The client purchase flow is the process clients go through when buying one of your coaching packages. From viewing your offerings to completing payment, the entire experience is handled through Athli and Stripe.
Why is it useful?
Understanding the client purchase flow helps you optimize your packages page and guide clients through the buying process. A smooth purchase experience reduces friction and increases conversions for your coaching business.
