How Do I Combine Checkout and Cart in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 14, 2023 @ 8:58 am

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform that allows businesses to sell products and services online. One of the features that makes WooCommerce so popular is its ability to combine checkout and cart into a single page. This can be a great time-saver for customers, as they can complete their purchase without having to leave the page they are on.

There are a few different ways to combine checkout and cart in WooCommerce. One way is to use the WooCommerce Checkout Page Builder plugin. This plugin allows you to build a custom checkout page using a drag-and-drop interface.

You can add your own fields, remove unused fields, and rearrange fields to optimize the checkout process for your customers. Another way to combine checkout and cart in WooCommerce is to use the WooCommerce Custom Checkout plugin. This plugin allows you to add custom fields to the checkout page, as well as remove unused fields. You can also rearrange fields and add custom sections to the checkout page using this plugin.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about combining checkout and cart in WooCommerce, there are a few things you should know. First, this is not a built-in feature of WooCommerce and will require some custom coding. Second, it is not recommended unless you have a very good reason for doing so, as it can complicate the ordering process for your customers. Finally, make sure you thoroughly test your new setup before going live, as even small changes can have big consequences.

If you want to combine checkout and cart in WooCommerce without using a plugin, you can do so by editing the code of your theme. However, this is not recommended for beginners, as it can be easy to break your site if you do not know what you are doing. If you are comfortable with code, you can add the following code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:

function my_custom_checkout_cart_redirect() {
global $woocommerce;
$woocommerce->cart->empty_cart();
wp_redirect( $woocommerce->checkout->get_checkout_url() );
exit;
}
add_action( 'wp', 'my_custom_checkout_cart_redirect' );

This code will redirect customers from the cart page to the checkout page when they click on the “Proceed to Checkout” button. Note that this will also empty the customer’s cart, so they will need to start over if they leave the checkout page before completing their purchase.
