<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>Restrict Direct Checkout Button by User Roles</h2>
<p>With the skip cart & direct checkout for WooCommerce extension, merchants easily control the visibility of the direct checkout button. Merchants can choose to display direct checkout buttons for specific user roles and hide the rest.<br />

<h2>Hide or Show Direct Checkout Button by Products, Categories, and  Product Tags</h2>
<p>Not all products are required to have quick checkout access. For that reason, the skip cart & direct checkout extension contains the option to restrict direct checkout functionality by products, categories, and product tags. If you don’t wish to apply any product-based restriction, then you can simply apply the direct checkout button on all pages with a single click.<br />

<h2>Allow Customers to Edit Cart Content on Checkout</h2>
<p>Since the skip cart & direct checkout extension eliminate the checkout step to shorten the purchase process, then how can a customer edit their cart before placing an order? Quite simply, this extension offers a fully editable cart on the checkout page so customers can easily edit cart content from checkout.<br />

Skip Cart and Direct Checkout

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Boost your store conversions by shortening the purchase process using Skip Cart & Direct Checkout for WooCommerce</span></p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Always sell the right products together</h2>
<p><strong>Force Sells for WooCommerce</strong> ensures required items, services, or fees are added with the main product automatically. That means fewer missed parts, fewer confused customers, and cleaner orders. Use it when certain items aren’t optional, when compliance requires an add‑on, or when you want to remove decision friction at the cart.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Why this matters</h2>
<p>Customers often overlook essentials and support teams chase corrections later. Force Sells prevents lost revenue, avoids re‑shipping missing parts, and keeps checkout simple. Shoppers get everything they need in one step, and your operations stay tidy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1490346" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/forcesells-datapanel.png?w=620" alt="Force Sells data panel" width="620" height="269" /></p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Who it’s for</h2>
<p>Force Sells is designed for merchants who need certain products and services purchased together every time. It’s ideal when items can’t stand alone, when bundling protects margins, or when you want to remove guesswork for customers. Here’s a list of examples:</p>
<ul style="line-height: 1.8em">
<li><strong>Repair services:</strong> add required parts (e.g., replacement glass with iPad screen repair) so jobs are complete and margins are protected.</li>
<li><strong>Bike shops:</strong> include an installation fee with custom wheels/components so labor is always covered.</li>
<li><strong>Cosmetics brands:</strong> include a reusable pump with the first purchase of a refillable product to ensure product usability.</li>
<li><strong>SaaS or digital products:</strong> link a one‑time setup/onboarding fee to a subscription to reflect true delivery cost.</li>
<li><strong>Pet stores:</strong> bundle a starter kit with the first aquarium to reduce returns and support tickets.</li>
<li><strong>Training providers:</strong> attach course materials to each class registration so learners have what they need day one.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Two ways to link products</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li><strong>Normal force sell:</strong> products are added with the main item in matching quantity. Shoppers can remove or adjust them if needed.</li>
<li><strong>Synced force sell:</strong> products are locked to the main item. They can’t be removed or edited separately; quantity and removal always follow the main product.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the cart, synced items are clearly marked as “linked,” so customers understand why those items move together. This clarity reduces confusion and follow‑up support.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">When to use Force Sells vs other options</h2>
<p>Choose <strong>Force Sells</strong> when the extra item is required every time. If you want to offer optional add‑ons or flexible bundles, consider Grouped Products or Product Bundles instead.
