[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh3lV0gbX78] Thousands of WooCommerce stores use CheckoutWC to reduce cart abandonment and turn more visitors into buyers. ### A checkout built to reduce cart abandonment A guided, Shopify-style checkout flow Replace WooCommerce's one-page wall of fields with a clean multi-step flow: contact info, then shipping, then payment. Each step feels short and achievable, which is exactly what reduces cart abandonment on mobile. Express payments that close the sale in seconds Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal let customers skip the form entirely and pay with one tap. Express checkout is one of the fastest ways to lift revenue without changing your products or traffic - and it's free in CheckoutWC Lite. Fewer form errors, faster entry ZIP/postal autocomplete fills in city and state automatically, and inline validation catches mistakes before they cause failed orders. Less typing, fewer errors, more completed checkouts. Works with your theme and gateway CheckoutWC takes over the checkout without a page builder, so it fits your existing store. It works with all WooCommerce themes and every major payment gateway. If it works with WooCommerce's default checkout, it works with CheckoutWC. ### What store owners say "CheckoutWC has taken our WooCommerce checkout to the next level!

Switch any of them to one-page checkout if you would rather show contact, shipping, and payment on a single screen. Side cart and order bumps Add a modern AJAX side cart with live totals and a multi-tier rewards bar, and boost average order value with rule-based order bumps and post-purchase one-click upsells. Abandoned cart recovery Capture customer emails early and send automated recovery emails with discounts or gentle nudges to win back sales you would otherwise lose.

Custom checkout fields A full checkout field editor: ask for a gift message, delivery instructions or anything else you need with text area, dropdown, radio button and checkbox fields, on top of the text fields in the free version. Drop them into any checkout slot, mark them required, show them only to the carts and customers you choose, and add a fixed or percentage fee per field or per option. What the customer enters is saved to the order and shown on the order screen and in your order emails. Trust badge collections Show a row of ready-made icons as a single badge - payment logos, security marks, and guarantees like 30-day money back, free shipping and free returns. Drag them into the order you want, set their size, and recolor the ones we draw so they match your checkout. Build your own badges and place them anywhere Create your own trust badges with your own image, title and supporting text, or show product reviews instead. Then drop them - along with your order bumps - into named positions across your checkout and drag them into the exact order you want, all in the visual editor with no code required.

Show it in the side cart and at checkout to lift average order value. See how this works in the video below.

A request is sent to Google Fonts when you open CheckoutWC → Appearance → Design (to fetch available font options), and on the checkout page only if you have actively selected a Google font. If you do not choose a Google font, no calls are made to Google. This service is provided by Google: terms of use, privacy policy. ## Changelog ### 11.4.0 - Feature - Custom fields: add your own text fields to any checkout slot from the Checkout Editor - text area, dropdown, radio button and checkbox fields are available on a paid plan -
