Implementing a One Page Checkout in WooCommerce CAN also go a step further and integrate the entire product detail page &#8211; essentially this becomes a sales, cart and checkout page all in one &#8211; which is why it can also be called WooCommerce direct checkout or WooCommerce quick checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_Page_Checkout_Combining_Cart_Checkout_Pages\"><\/span>One Page Checkout: Combining Cart &amp; Checkout Pages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cart_Page_Functionality\"><\/span>Cart Page Functionality:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Provide customers an opportunity to review their basket, change quantities and remove products from basket<\/li><li>Act as an intermediary step between hitting &#8220;add to cart&#8221; and entering payment details<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We think both of the core functions of the cart page suck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, the Cart page is there to encourage your customers to scrutinise their purchase choices and put an additional step between purchase intent and conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cart page is a DINOSAUR in the world of eCommerce and I challenge anyone who runs a successful eCommerce store to demonstrate any different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checkout_Page_Functionality\"><\/span>Checkout Page Functionality:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Provide data entry fields for billing, shipping and payment<\/li><li>Be transparent with the customer about what they&#8217;re buying and how much for<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AND, what it should also do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Convince shoppers to add more to the basket prior to clicking place order &#8211; an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurestatemedia.com\/en\/best-woocommerce-upsell-plugins-for-one-click-upsell\/\">order bump for WooCommerce<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately with the need to be transparent about what the customer is purchasing on the WooCommerce Checkout page, the need for the WooCommerce Cart page is further diminished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Combined_Cart_Checkout_Pages\"><\/span>Combined Cart &amp; Checkout Pages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One Page Checkout for WooCommerce users by this definition would therefore mean that the Checkout page now takes on some of the cart page functionality. Basically, a summary of what&#8217;s in the order is now provided on the Checkout page &#8211; this isn&#8217;t ground breaking stuff like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurestatemedia.com\/en\/best-woocommerce-upsell-plugins-for-one-click-upsell\/\">one click upsells for WooCommerce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_Page_Checkout_Product_Page_With_Checkout_Fields\"><\/span>One Page Checkout: Product Page With Checkout Fields<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course the other definition of onepage checkout essentially cuts out the WooCommerce Cart Page altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, you&#8217;ve essentially got a WooCommerce Product Page with the Checkout Fields for entering payment, billing and shipping details all on the one page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_Page_Checkout_Plugins_for_WooCommerce_Direct_Checkout\"><\/span>One Page Checkout Plugins for WooCommerce Direct Checkout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Onepage checkout is a bit of a weird niche of functionality. Essentially what we&#8217;re talking about here are plugins to customize the default WooCommerce Checkout page OR plugins to replace the standard WooCommerce Checkout Page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WooFunnels_AeroCheckout_for_One_Page_Checkout_WooCommerce\"><\/span>WooFunnels AeroCheckout for One Page Checkout WooCommerce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend AeroCheckout by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurestatemedia.com\/en\/best-woocommerce-upsell-plugins-for-one-click-upsell\/\">WooFunnels<\/a> for anything to do with customizing the WooCommerce Checkout Pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among a BUNCH of other things, AeroCheckout provides the ability for you to create a combined cart and checkout page or add a Checkout Form to a page or product page for a combined sales and checkout page in one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at AeroCheckout in our review of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurestatemedia.com\/en\/best-woocommerce-upsell-plugins-for-one-click-upsell\/\">best checkout upsell plugins for WooCommerce that convert AND boost sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WooCommerce_One_Page_Checkout_vs_One_Click_Checkout_WooCommerce\"><\/span>WooCommerce One Page Checkout vs One Click Checkout WooCommerce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One Page Checkout as we&#8217;ve described above talks about where the checkout form is in relation to other content, such as the product table from the cart page &#8211; or the product description on the product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One Click Checkout is more typically used to refer to the functionality where users are taken directly to the checkout page OR the payment gateway by clicking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurestatemedia.com\/en\/how-to-add-a-woocommerce-buy-now-button-without-code\/\">Buy Now button<\/a> instead of &#8220;add to cart&#8221; or &#8220;add to basket&#8221; on the product or sales page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once again, this is functionality that can be achieved with AeroCheckout from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurestatemedia.com\/en\/best-woocommerce-upsell-plugins-for-one-click-upsell\/\">WooFunnels<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A One Click Checkout button could be placed on the product page which directs the website visitor to a checkout page dedicated to that product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested, here&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurestatemedia.com\/en\/how-to-add-a-woocommerce-buy-now-button-without-code\/\">how to add a WooCommerce Buy Now Button to a product page WITHOUT code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, critically that&#8217;s how One Click Checkout WooCommerce compares with One Page Checkout WooCommerce &#8211; both are very narrow sales funnel builder type options and not typical for a WooCommerce store where users browse and add different products to cart as they explore your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, if you want a little more nuanced behaviour like &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessbloomer.com\/woocommerce-redirect-checkout-add-cart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">redirect to checkout on Add to Cart<\/a>&#8221; then this is a little less mainstream, and not necessarily great user experience &#8211; so think twice before going down that route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You searched for:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">woocommerce direct checkout<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">woocommerce quick checkout<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">woocommerce<\/span><span class=\"\"> one page checkout<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">one page checkout woocommerce<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">onepage checkout<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">one page checkout<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">woocommerce checkout page template<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">woocommerce single page checkout<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">checkout onepage<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">woocommerce one click checkout<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One page checkout WooCommerce functionality isn&#8217;t enabled by default within the Core WooCommerce plugin.
