Step 1: Details

The first step of the universal checkout process is entering billing and shipping information. Often this information is the same, so there is a radio select button to indicate if this is the case or not. If the information is not the same, then additional fields will display to allow your customer to enter the shipping information separately. To proceed, they simply click CONTINUE.

Step 2: Shipping

The next step is to choose a shipping method (based on what you have set up). The running total on the right side will update based on the shipping option selected. Once again, to proceed your customer will click CONTINUE. 

Step 3: Payment

You can set up multiple payment methods for your customers. You can allow your customers to pay with a gift card, PayPal, credit card, or even with an offline payment method such as cash or check. 

During the payment step of checkout, you can also collect additional information from your customers using the custom checkout option to add additional personalization or get your customers to agree to the terms and conditions of the sale.

Once your customer makes their selections, they will need to click SUBMIT ORDER to complete checkout process.

Step 4: Confirmation message

After the order processes, your customer will receive a confirmation message both on-screen and by email (provided in Step 1: Details). Depending on the payment method they select, a custom thank you message tied to that method will display.
