Express checkout lets shoppers skip the cart and go straight to payment from the product page. This streamlines purchasing and reduces cart abandonment, especially for single-product stores. Products remain in stock until checkout completion.

How Express Checkout Works:

  • Replaces "Add to Cart" with "Purchase" button
  • Removes shopping cart and cart icon
  • Takes customers directly to checkout

Enable Express Checkout:

  1. Open Cart panel
  2. Turn on "Enable express checkout" toggle

Important Notes:

  • Best suited for single-product stores
  • Cannot be disabled for subscription products
  • Recommended to disable if selling multiple products

Troubleshooting Multiple Orders:

  • Issues can occur when customers leave checkout to edit orders
  • Original order saves while new total adds on
  • Solution: Customers should clear cart before editing
  • For partial refunds, refer to order cancellation process
  • Quantity editing available if minimum order amount isn't met

Key Benefits:

  • Simplified checkout process
  • Reduced cart abandonment
  • Streamlined customer experience
  • Inventory protection until purchase completion

When disabling express checkout, simply return to the Cart panel and turn off the "Enable express checkout" toggle.
