Tracking Kajabi payment plans past the first installment
Kajabi course businesses sell payment plans and memberships, and almost every setup counts only the first payment because that's the only one with a checkout page attached. Installments two through six, and every membership renewal, happen with no browser present. Kajabi allows some tag injection but nothing that reaches a background charge, so the recurring revenue has to come from the webhook — with the click ID stored against the member at purchase so later payments stay attributable.

Kajabi payments · architecture
Why this pattern keeps recurring — Kajabi payments
Course and membership businesses hit the same wall, and it comes from measuring a sale rather than a payment.
- 1
A payment plan is many payments
Counting the first as the whole plan reports money that may never arrive if the customer defaults.
- 2
Background charges have no page
Installment four fires no tag anywhere, because there is no browser to fire it.
- 3
Kajabi's tag access is limited
You can inject some scripts, but nothing reaches a server-side charge event.
- 4
Failed payments are common on plans
And almost never reversed, so reported revenue drifts upward.

First payment or full plan.

Why there are no client numbers on this page — Kajabi payments
Most agency case studies lead with a percentage. This one doesn't, and the reason is worth stating.
- We don't publish client results we can't substantiate. An audit of this site in August 2026 found named testimonials and before-and-after figures that had never been measured — all of it was removed, and nothing has replaced it that isn't checkable.
- The results that do exist belong to clients under agreement. Publishing anonymised numbers without their sign-off would be the same problem in a thinner disguise.
- What we will commit to in writing is 95%+ conversion accuracy and 8+ Meta Event Match Quality, reconciled against your own order records. That is checkable by you, which a case study percentage never is.
- For proof from actual clients, the video testimonials on the site are real people describing their own rebuild. That is the strongest evidence we have, and it isn't a number we wrote.

FAQ
Kajabi payments questions, answered
No. Send the first payment and then each installment as it clears. Upfront value reports revenue you may never collect.
Store the click ID on the member record at purchase. Every later payment can then reference the click that produced the customer.
Partly. Kajabi's own integrations cover the checkout. Recurring payments need the webhook, which means a server-side endpoint.
Send them as distinct events with their own values. A 100% coupon redemption is not a sale and shouldn't be counted as one.
