Enabling a Buy Now (skip shopping cart) experience in MyOrderDesk Follow
MyOrderDesk can provide a fast (2 click!) ordering experience for your customer by skipping the Shipping and Billing address page setup, as well as the Shopping Cart page. This feature can be enabled on a product by product basis so that you can control which products will display a "Buy Now" button while ordering, and which will not.
When enabled, if the end user already has a Default Shipping and Billing address set up in the storefront, and they select the Buy Now button, they will skip both the Shopping Cart and address setup page. If they don't have a default address set up, they will only skip the Shopping Cart. In either case, when they arrive on the Checkout page, they can always choose to change their billing or shipping address, or add more items to the cart. This feature is there to provide a quick way to order one item in a storefront visited by the customer previously.
To set this up: You will start with the order form that you are using for the product(s) you want to enable Buy Now. On the "Add to Cart" button field, select the option for Enabling the Buy Now button. See the screenshot below:
Now when you view the product page, you will see that a new button has been added (example below).
You can also change the wording on this button. There are two ways to do this:
- In the Add to Cart button field, select the link, "Set 'Buy Now' button" (see the first screenshot above), which will bring you to the Checkout Options page.
- Go directly to the Checkout Options page from Admin > Shopping Cart > Checkout Options.
In either case, replace the Buy Now text with your custom text, and save.
Here you see new text added:
And the result on the product page:
