Direct Checkout for WooCommerce

Direct Checkout for WooCommerce (formerly WooCommerce Direct Checkout) is a QuadLayers plugin built around one idea: fewer steps between a product and a completed order. Rather than editing or adding checkout fields in depth, it changes the flow, so shoppers jump from the add-to-cart button straight to checkout.

The free version lets you skip the cart page and redirect add-to-cart to the checkout or a custom URL, replace the added-to-cart notice with your own text and a checkout link, change add-to-cart button text, and add products with AJAX without reloading. On the checkout itself it can remove fields and elements you do not need, such as order comments, the shipping address, the coupon form, policy text, terms and gateway icons. It declares HPOS compatibility.

What PRO adds

• A quick purchase button on product pages that goes straight to checkout.
• One-page checkout, which adds the cart to the checkout page so shoppers can change quantities there.
• Premium support and updates, with annual or lifetime licences.

The plugin is lightweight and useful for single-product stores, digital goods and impulse purchases. Limitations are significant for larger checkouts: it cannot add new fields, has no conditional fields or fees, and offers no templates, order bumps, upsells or cart recovery. Since version 3.3.4 it declares itself incompatible with the WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks, so it suits stores that use the classic checkout.

Choose it if you want a simple way to skip the cart and trim the checkout on a classic WooCommerce store; choose a full checkout plugin if you need redesigned layouts or upsells.
