What is Shopify one-page checkout?
One-page checkout is an ecommerce checkout process that condenses all the elements of a
standard checkout onto a single page. This includes cart contents, payment details, shipping
and billing address, and shipping options.
With a one-page checkout, users can input all relevant information, review their order, and
complete their purchase on a single page, eliminating the need for multiple page loads and
reducing the time and effort required to make a purchase.
Shopify has recently rolled out the new one-page checkout to Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and
Plus merchants. The one-page checkout is already helping merchants enhance their customers’
shopping experience and boost sales. It’s designed to be fully customizable and extensible,
allowing merchants to tailor it to their specific needs.
The defining features of a one-page checkout are simplicity and speed. By centralizing
critical aspects of the transaction process onto a single page, shoppers can input their
data, review order details, and complete transactions without navigating to different pages.
7
What is Shopify dynamic checkout?
Shopify dynamic checkout button allows customers to complete their purchase without going
through the traditional process of filling out their information on a checkout page.
Instead, it offers a streamlined experience by skipping the cart page and presenting the
buyer with their preferred payment method as the first choice. This can be extremely useful
for Shopify stores, as it enables customers to check out faster and with less friction.
These dynamic checkout buttons facilitate a tailored checkout experience based on the
buyer’s preferred form of payment. By simplifying navigation during the payment process,
they provide access to the most suitable call-to-action button for each individual customer.

credit card on file with Shopify.
