A badly designed eCommerce checkout page could be costing your online store valuable sales and profits.

If you’re worried that this part of your store is letting down your business, this guide covering the 10 best eCommerce checkout page designs to learn from will help you determine if your checkout page could be improved, and if so, in what ways.

One of the main drivers you should consider when choosing an eCommerce platform is the checkout flow. The checkout flow refers to the series of steps a buyer follows to place their order and is a crucial factor in a store’s conversion rate!

Although the default WooCommerce checkout is reasonably well laid out I think more can be done to improve this crucial step for store owners. Because, really this is now the most important step of the process. You’ve done the hard work, encouraged a buyer to select a product, add it to the cart – now you need them to buy.

You don’t want your effort to be wasted and with a couple of easy tweaks you’ll be able to reduce the likelihood of this happening. I’m going to show you how to optimize your WooCommerce checkout to present the best possible experience to buyers and encourage them to complete the process. Let’s get started!

It’s vital in eCommerce to ensure a customer can quickly enter their billing details and get through the payment process with as little fuss as possible.

Address Autocomplete for WooCommerce is an intelligent yet easy-to-use extension that allows you to sync your site with Google’s Address Autocomplete API at the checkout page. This saves your customers time and effort when filling out their checkout form’s address fields.

That’s why I’m interested in WooCommerce’s address autocomplete plugin to quickly return location results as soon as you start typing.

Today we’re featuring a very useful plugin that allows you to customize the fields that are displayed when completing the checkout process in WooCommerce.

You may need to display extra fields such as a delivery date or indeed you might want to remove unnecessary ones just as the phone number to streamline the checkout process. Nobody wants to spend time filling out form inputs if they’re not actually required.
