Cart abandonment is probably the greatest pain you face as a online retailer.
Hence, if you could provide your users (existing customers as well as guests) a quick, simple and friction free checkout process, it would be a great relief to the them as well as yourself.
Because, even if you offer incentives, low shipping rates and social proof during checkout, if it isn’t simple and quick, you will only see higher cart abandonment numbers.

The slow WooCommerce checkout process
The traditional WooCommerce checkout process includes:
- Add products to cart
- Review cart
- Create account if user wishes to
- Checkout
The user gets redirected to many pages in this process and also encounters various links and text material which may be irrelevant for him on these pages.
But there are users who genuinely like to purchase but are not willing to due to lengthy steps and frustration.
Not just guests, if existing users also find the checkout process lengthy and complicated, they may be reluctant to purchase next time.
The fastest checkout process (One-click)
It is a one click checkout process:
Simply click on Buy Now and checkout. That’s it. No extra steps. No extra processing. No re-confirmation messages or any other form of time wasters, both for you and your customers.
If existing users purchases again, they will bypass the checkout process and receive the order confirmation email directly provided all their details are complete and not altered.
For guest users, when they click the ‘Buy Now’ button below the products on your website, they will directly land on the checkout popup bypassing the cart page completely.
All they need is to just enter the required fields and payment details to purchase the desired product.

Smart ways to use the one click checkout
Broadly there are three ways:
On your website
Directly embed the one click checkout link on your ‘call to action’ button. This way if a client has chosen Stripe as his payment option previously and if he clicks the CTA, he/she will be directly checked out.
In emails
You can also send customers a mail with a one click checkout link asking them to purchase a great product. Once the customer clicks onto the link in the email, he/she will be directly checked out and the payment will be made.
With discounts
One click checkout can also work with discounts and coupons. As store owners ourselves, we do give a lot of store credits, discounts etc to keep our customers happy and we saw to it that one click checkout can accommodate such cases as well.
