What is Quick Checkout?
With Quick Checkout, settings from the last order or individually defined purchase preferences are automatically applied – such as billing and shipping address or preferred payment method. This allows multiple steps of the classic checkout to be skipped. Customers go directly from the shopping cart to the order confirmation page – without having to re-enter data. This saves time, increases user-friendliness and offers a particularly convenient shopping experience, especially for returning customers.
Faster, more flexible, omnichannel
With the new Quick Checkout feature, Smartstore 6 introduces a powerful tool that significantly simplifies and speeds up the purchase process for your customers. Based on stored preferences, checkout becomes a compact, seamless experience – whether at a desktop, on mobile, or at the point of sale (POS).
Smartstore 6 enables the mapping of various checkout processes across multiple sales channels. Whether in the online store or at a self-checkout terminal (SCO) in a physical store: a central customer account allows for a consistent experience. While a full checkout with all options is available online, a shortened One-Click Checkout can be used on-site – ideal for kiosks, pop-up stores, or POS systems.
Advantages for customers and merchants at a glance
- Direct path to order:
Customer settings are automatically applied, eliminating the need to re-enter payment data or addresses. Checkout is completed in just a few clicks – ideal for repeat customers. - Always-visible order total:
The total amount of the order is displayed on every page of the checkout in a fixed sidebar – ensuring maximum transparency and trust throughout the entire process. - One-Click Checkout for retail:
Sales at physical terminals or self-checkout stations can be completed with just one click – fast, intuitive, and efficient. - Optimized order confirmation page:
A redesigned, clearly structured layout improves clarity. At the same time, greater legal transparency provides more security for both merchants and customers. - Additional configurable settings:
In the My Account section, customers can individually define and manage their preferred shipping and payment methods. Merchants also have the ability to customize certain settings – for example, whether shipping costs are displayed in the cart even if no delivery address has yet been entered.
Omnichannel strategy with Smartstore 6
Quick Checkout is an integral part of the omnichannel strategy of Smartstore 6. This strategy aims to provide customers with a seamless shopping experience across all channels – whether online, mobile, or in-store. Full integration between channels puts the customer at the center, not the product. This enables knowledge collected in one channel to be applied across others the customer may engage with, while delivering consistent messaging across all platforms.
With Smartstore 6, companies can tailor their platform precisely to their needs to ensure optimal customer engagement. The flexibility allows for a quick response to market changes and easy integration of new sales channels.
Checkout options for retail
Smartstore 6 supports various checkout modes for in-store sales:
- Terminal mode (without online payment):
The payment process is handled classically at the register, while the order process is managed via Smartstore. - Terminal with integrated payment:
Customers can pay directly via the Smartstore interface – for example with PayPal or other connected payment methods – and still benefit from the advantages of an in-store shopping experience.
Conclusion:
With Quick Checkout, Smartstore 6 brings speed, convenience, and flexibility to the checkout process – omnichannel and fully customizable. The result: more satisfied customers, higher conversion rates, and a modern shopping experience that fits your omnichannel approach.
