Overview
In modern e-commerce, speed is everything. Cartsaver’s Fast Checkout is designed to bypass the traditional, multi-step Shopify checkout process. By providing a “Buy It Now” style interface with pre-integrated OTP verification, you can reduce checkout time from minutes to seconds while ensuring every order is coming from a real customer.
Setting Up Fast Checkout in 3 Steps
Step 1: Activate the Flow
Navigate to the Configurations tab. Under Checkout Flow Option, select the middle tile: Fast Checkout.
Important: Ensure the Theme Extension toggle below the tiles is set to Active.
Step 2: Brand Your Interface
Unlike generic checkout apps, Cartsaver lets you customize the UI to match your store’s identity. Use the Primary Color settings on the right side of the dashboard:
- Color Presets: Choose from elegant themes like Midnight, Ocean, or Velvet.
- Custom Hex Code: Use the Color Picker to find your exact brand shade (e.g.,
#DE852E). - Live Preview: Check the mobile preview at the bottom of the screen to see exactly how your new checkout will look to customers.
Step 3: Choose Your Verification Method
Under Fast Checkout Settings, decide how you want to handle the security layer:
- Confirmation Template (Recommended): Uses a native WhatsApp message with a confirmation button. This requires no manual input from the customer and results in the highest completion rates.
- Normal OTP: The customer receives a code via WhatsApp/SMS and enters it manually into the Fast Checkout modal.
Advanced Configurations
- Online Payment Availability: If you have an online payment gateway (like PayMob or Fawry), toggle Enable Online Payment to offer customers a choice between COD and Card directly in the Fast Checkout window.
- Contact Verification: Select which payment methods require verification. We recommend enabling this for Cash on Delivery to eliminate “ghost” orders.
Best Practices for High Conversion
- Target Speed: Aim for a checkout-to-confirmation time of under 45 seconds.
- Visual Match: Ensure your Fast Checkout primary color matches your store’s “Add to Cart” button for a seamless transition.
