A long path to checkout puts shoppers off
A shopper ready to buy still has to add the product to the cart, open the cart, then go to checkout. Every extra step is another chance to abandon the purchase.
- ✗ Too many steps between the product and checkout
- ✗ The cart as a needless stop for a single-product purchase
- ✗ Abandoned carts on simple, impulse purchases
- ✗ No quick Buy Now path in stock WooCommerce
Swift shortens the path to checkout
- ✓ A Buy Now button on the product page and shop listings
- ✓ Redirect straight to checkout, skipping the cart
- ✓ An option to clear the cart so the shopper buys only the chosen product
- ✓ A configurable button label and placement
