<h2>Less Clicking, More Shopping</h2>
<p>The skip cart and direct checkout for WooCommerce extension benefit store owners who struggle with low conversions due to lengthy checkout processes. As more processes are added to the purchase process, the conversion rate starts to decrease. Many eCommerce stores suffer so much that their conversion rates drop to below 1%. To address this issue, we have developed this extension, which removes the cart page entirely from the purchase process, making the purchase process shorter and the checkout process quicker, which ultimately results in more conversions. Moreover, customers can still make changes to their carts since, using this extension’s pro features, you can display an editable cart right on the checkout page.<br />

<h2>Show Direct Checkout Button on Product and Listing Pages</h2>
<p>Merchants can easily make the purchase process even shorter by displaying a customizable “Direct Checkout” button on listing pages. This allows customers to buy the product without having to visit the product or cart pages. Alternatively, direct checkout buttons can also be displayed on product pages, making it convenient for customers to complete their purchases quickly.</p>

<h2>Hide or Show Direct Checkout Button by Products, Categories, and  Product Tags</h2>
