Buy Now, straight to checkout
Swift adds a Buy Now button to WooCommerce that takes shoppers straight to checkout, skipping the cart. Fewer steps means fewer chances to abandon. Stateless, light and fast.
Works with
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
What you get in the free version
Everything you need to shorten the path to purchase to a single click.
Buy Now button
A button on the product page and optionally shop listings that leads straight to checkout.
Cart skipping
The shopper lands directly at checkout with the chosen product, with no stop at the cart page.
Cart clearing
Optionally clear the cart before the purchase, so the shopper buys only the chosen product.
Configurable label
Set your own button text and choose the placement: product page, shop listings or both.
Redirect target
Choose whether Buy Now goes to checkout or the cart, depending on your store's needs.
