One-Click Checkout is a streamlined WooCommerce feature that lets customers complete their purchase instantly with a single click. Instead of going through the cart and checkout pages, returning customers with saved details can place an order immediately—just like Amazon’s one-click purchase. This reduces friction, speeds up the buying process, and helps boost conversions.
How this works
- Adds a Buy Now button (only for logged-in users).
- When clicked:
- Creates a new WooCommerce order.
- Uses the customer’s saved billing/shipping details.
- Attempts payment using their default saved payment method (Stripe, PayPal Vault, etc.).
- Redirects to the order received page instantly if successful.
Requirements
- Customers must be logged in.
- Must have saved payment details (via tokenization gateways like Stripe / PayPal).
- You may want to store the user’s default payment gateway in user meta, or fallback to a specific gateway.
