Howdy Codans šŸ‘‹ Iā€™ve posted here in the past with my thoughts on monetizing Coda templates using Zapier and Stripe Payment Links. > [@A simple way to monetize your Coda templates](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/a-simple-way-to-monetize-your-coda-templates/24229/11): > > So you can do this within Coda using the actions that are bundled with the ā€œCoda Doc Listā€ pack. @Alan_Jordan Today, I launched a new paid Coda template which implements a slightly different monetization mechanic. For this project ā€” a strategic planning template ā€” I used one of my other favorite no-code tools ā€” Tally.so ā€” to embed a payment form directly within the Coda document itself, allowing for an even more seamless checkout experience. I thought Iā€™d share for the good of the order. If youā€™re interested in a more in-depth tutorial, let me know in the comments, and I might just record one over the holiday! In the interim, check out the project over on Product Hunt and, if you could use some help with your new year planning, consider snagging a copy for yourself. > **[Coda - Product Information, Latest Updates, and Reviews 2023 | Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/coda#the-life-os)** > > Coda is the all-in-one doc that brings words, data, and teams together. It comes with building blocksćƒ¼like tables that talk to each other and buttons that take actionćƒ¼so anyone can make a doc as powerful as an app. Happy Building! T.S. ---

@TSStrickand1 well done indeed on several levelsā€¦ first, it looks like a great life operating system second, it is a great coda document/app and third, the integration of the payment system is indeed a seamless experience impressive soā€¦ how did you do it? YES, I WANT TO SEE THAT TUTORIAL! respect max ---

Thank you, sir šŸ™ I made a quick little tutorial over in the Codex community explaining my approach. Hope itā€™s useful! https://coda.io/embed/OA6THFseyF?viewMode=embed ---

Nice work @TSStrickand1! Inspired by your approach. About how long have you been using this process and what have you found works well (and what not so well?) ---

Congratulations on the launch, @TSStrickand1 ! Just purchased my copy and excited to unravel the docā€™s setup! Really appreciate you taking the time to create the detailed Loom tutorial as well! ---

Hi Connor! This is actually my first time using Tally to monetize a Coda template. My favorite things about combining these tools are the ability to pass dynamic data into a form via Coda formulas and the ability to embed a payment form directly in a Coda doc. That said, since this method relies on Zapier and automations, Iā€™d say itā€™s critical to always fully test-drive your implementation. (I made some changes to my setup over the weekend, didnā€™t test-drive them fully enough and introduced a bug that delayed sharing of a template with a buyer.) ---

Thank you, Nina! Sent you a DM on Twitter, but let me know if you need any help with anything. Happy to also share a copy of the template sales dashboard setup I use, if that interests you. šŸ» ---

Very cool to learn. It will be exciting when Coda offers template purchases natively! ---
