Express Checkout automatically directs buyers from product pages to checkout, streamlining the purchase process and reducing cart abandonment. Products remain in stock until payment completion.

How Express Checkout Works:

  • Replaces "Add to Cart" with a "Buy" button
  • Removes shopping cart and cart icon
  • Takes customers directly to checkout when clicking "Buy"

Activating Express Checkout:

  1. Navigate to the "Cart" menu
  2. Toggle "Enable Express Checkout" switch

Important Considerations:

  • Disable Express Checkout when selling multiple products
  • Cannot be disabled for subscription products
  • Minimum order values still apply during checkout
  • Customers can adjust quantities during checkout

Troubleshooting Multiple Orders:

  • If customers leave checkout to edit orders, the original order saves
  • New order totals are added separately
  • To modify total order value, customers must empty cart first
  • Process partial refunds through Cancel and Refund Orders

Best Practices:

  • Use for single-product focuses
  • Enable when simplifying purchase process is priority
  • Disable when expanding product catalog
  • Monitor order management for multiple purchases

To Disable:

  1. Open "Cart" menu
  2. Toggle off "Enable Express Checkout"
