You can now connect your Kourses memberships to your Kit (formerly ConvertKit) account, allowing you to send customer information to your Kit lists for future followup.
In this guide, we'll show you how to connect your Kourses site to your Kit account.
1. First login to your Kit account and click the dropdown in the top right, and select "Settings" on the dropdown:
2. On the settings screen, scroll down to and select the "Developer" option on the left side menu.
3. On the Developer screen you'll find your API key and API Secret key. You will need to copy these to a safe location for use in a few moments when connecting your Kourses membership (alternatively keep this page open on another tab)
4. To send buyer information to Kit, you need to add the API key information to the membership you wish to connect. Go to Memberships inside Kourses and select the Membership you wish to connect with Kit.
5. Inside the individual membership screen, click on the Integrations on the top menu, and select "Add Service" to add a connection to Kit:
6. Finally, select Kit from the Integrations menu, and add the API credentials from Step 3 of this guide:
If you would like to pass your abandoned checkout / cart leads through to Kit, follow this guide to integrating Kit. We'll show you how to create the custom fields required for this integration to work most effectively.
This guide walks you through how to integrate Kit with the abandoned cart feature inside Kourses, so you can capture leads when users leave checkout and follow up automatically.
Navigate to the membership where you want to capture abandoned cart leads.
Example: "Lead Funnel in a Weekend" membership.
Click Integrations.
Under Email Marketing and Others, scroll down to Abandoned Cart Leads.
Click Add Service.
Choose Kit from the list of integrations.
Enter your API Key and API Secret Key.
(Not sure where to find this? Check our separate tutorial for help.)
Once connected, you'll see these fields:

We'll now set these up in Kit.

Scroll down — you'll now see your Charlotte Form listed.
(Tip: You can rename the form in Kit for easier identification.)
You can apply a tag to new leads.
Example: Abandoned Checkout tag.
Match the custom fields you created:
Set the Membership Name Field.
Set the Checkout URL Field.
These fields will automatically populate when someone abandons checkout.
Click Save to complete your integration.
Now, when a prospect abandons checkout:
Within about 1 hour, their details will be sent to Kit.
They’ll be added under the Charlotte Form.

Their Membership Name and Checkout URL will be stored.
You can then use Kit's dynamic variables to personalize follow-up emails and bring them back to complete their checkout!
