Before I jump in with suggestions, I just want to make sure I fully understand what you mean by a “Menu link,” since that can mean different things depending on the website or setup.
When you say Menu link, are you referring to:
A normal navigation item on your own website that links out to a Pickaxe or Studio URL?
A dropdown or members-only menu that appears after someone logs in on your site?
Or an embedded Pickaxe experience living directly inside a page that’s linked from your menu?
Once I understand that part, it’ll be much easier to comment on whether a single Pickaxe or an entire Studio makes more sense, and how charging and access would work in your case.
If you can also share a bit about what you want the user journey to look like, for example pay on your site first vs pay inside Pickaxe, that would help a lot. Just trying to get the full picture before pointing you in the wrong direction.
I want to host my studio home page on an external funnel website so I can make it more professional and then when they click “start now” it takes them to my pickaxe studio but without using Pickaxes home page. My pickaxe is hosted on myspiritguide.app. I would create a subdomain home.myspiritguide.app and host the home page there on my funnel builder for the studio and make the home page in pickaxe not display, and instead link back to the externally hosted page.
I hope I’ve understood your setup correctly. If I’ve missed anything or misunderstood part of the requirement, please let me know.
Based on my understanding, this is all very doable. You can host your main homepage on home.myspiritguide.app and use that as the primary entry point. From there, you have a few clean options:
Link users directly to your Pickaxe Studio or a specific Pickaxe
Embed individual Pickaxes directly into your external site
Payments and access control can still live fully inside Pickaxe using Products and paywalls.
Typical flow:
External homepage → Start now → Embedded Pickaxe or linked Pickaxe Studio→ Paywall → Use tools
