FAQ

Does it require WooCommerce?

Yes. Swift extends WooCommerce and does nothing without it active.

Where does the Buy Now button appear?

On single product pages and/or shop and archive loops — you choose in the settings. On loops it is shown for simple, in-stock, purchasable products only.

Does it really skip the cart?

Yes, when the redirect target is set to Checkout. The product is added to the cart and the shopper goes straight to the checkout page. You can also set it to redirect to the cart instead.

Can I place the button somewhere custom?

Yes. Use the [swift_buy_now] shortcode anywhere — a page, post or block. It targets the current product by default; add id="123" to target a specific simple product.

Can it add more than one unit?

Yes, on the single product page, if you enable Respect product-page quantity. Swift then adds the quantity the shopper selected. On loops there is no quantity field, so one unit is added.

Does it work with variable products?

The free version is designed for simple products. On loops the button is shown for simple products only, since a variation must be chosen first. Full Buy Now for variable products, with an inline variation picker, is planned for Swift Pro.

Can I match the button to my theme?

Yes. Pick theme default to inherit your theme’s button styling, or solid / outline with an optional accent colour. The accent is scoped to Swift’s own buttons, with dark-mode support and reduced-motion-safe transitions, and no layout shift.

Does it create database tables?

No. Swift is stateless — it stores a single settings option and creates no custom tables or product meta. Uninstalling removes that option, multisite-aware.

Can shoppers still buy the normal way?

Yes. Swift adds Buy Now next to WooCommerce’s standard add-to-cart; it never replaces it. Shoppers who want to build a multi-item cart can still do so.
