Checkout Settings

On this guide you will learn all of the available settings to customize the checkout process in your Admin Panel: Settings > Checkout.

The Checkout Process

General Definitions

Abandonment

When a customer completes the Information, Shipping, Billing but not the Payment Step, his cart will be considered Abandoned after the time defined in “Expiration time for carts”.

If the customer reached the Processing step, an order will be created in Pending status, the order will be considered abandoned if the customer does not complete the payment, if the payment is rejected, the order will be considered canceled, not abandoned.

Data Retention

Data Retention policies are critical to ensuring local privacy regulations are being met. Customer Data will be removed from your store after the selected period of time.

The Privacy Policy legal page may include a reference to this setting.

Cart

Add to Cart

What happens when a customer clicks on Add to cart. Choose between:

• Stay on the same page
• Redirect to the Cart page (Default)
• Initiate Checkout

Cross Selling

Cross-selling is one of the most effective methods of marketing. Offer related or complementary products to your customers.

Select products that the customer will view as recommended in the cart page.

Automate your Cross Selling process in your cart and emails based on purchasing patterns across sessions from repeat sales in our Advanced Plan.

Minimum Conditions

If toggled, customers who don’t meet the requirements will not be able to initiate Checkout.

Item count will consider all units of products added to the cart.

Shipping Estimations

Shipping estimations are always displayed in the Checkout process, some stores find value in showing these prices before the initiation of the checkout.

A calculator will be placed in the cart if the toggle is on.

Geolocation

When toggled, customer will receive a request for the location. If accepted, Address Checkout fields will be autocompleted with the current location.

Checkout Forms

Version

Current version of the Checkout is 2. Previous version (1) is a simplistic form that allows some modifications, mostly through Javascript. Checkout 1 will not receive updates and will not support Local Pickups.

Design

Design options are limited to color selections and a logo that will be visible only in the checkout process.

System Fields

Add extra fields to your checkout form. These can be optional or required.

• Tax Id / Vat Number: Commonly used for invoicing and Shipping.
• Phone: Some Shipping companies require a phone number.
• Postal Code: In some countries it is a required field.
• Special Instructions / Additional Information: Customer can add special instructions for the delivery: “leave the order in the front door*.
• Customer Accepts Marketing: In some legislations, it is required to ask customers for their authorization to include them in targeted marketing campaings.

Custom Fields

These can be added to any of the three sections: Contact Information, Shipping and Billing Addresses or Other. If a field is added to the Shipping Information, it will be added as well in the billing form. These are the field types:

• Input: A line of text and/or numbers. Example: Door Number, Company Name.
• Text: More than a line of text or numbers.
• Select: A list of options to select. - Example: Type of billing document, type of wrapping.
