The checkout process in ecommerce is the process that online customers go through to complete a purchase. The process can vary depending on the type of ecommerce business and its website, but common steps include the following:
Signing in as a guest or returning customer
Adding products or services to a digital shopping cart
Choosing to checkout
Entering a payment option
Selecting a shipping or download option
Reviewing and finalizing the order
Receiving a confirmation email
When designing an Ecommerce site, make the checkout page as clear and functional as possible, to encourage visitors to complete purchases. One-click shopping and plentiful payment options are good strategies. Some websites also collect and store payment information to streamline the process for returning customers, but you’ll need strong encryption and security to do that safely.
