Every extra click is
an abandoned cart.
Add a Buy Now button that skips the cart and sends shoppers straight to checkout. Fewer clicks, fewer second thoughts, more completed orders.
The path shoppers take now
One tap on Buy Now drops them right on the checkout page with the item already in hand. No cart detour, no distractions.
- Buy only this item, cart emptied automatically
- Sticky button on mobile where it matters most
- Replace Add to Cart or sit right beside it
Every screen between wanting it and buying it is a place to lose the sale. Buy Now removes them. The competitors that do this well hide it behind a paywall. This is free.

Get it freeWho Should Add a Buy Now Button to Their Store
Buy Now buttons work best for stores that sell items people impulse-buy or research briefly before purchasing. Apparel shops see immediate results because shoppers have usually decided on a size and color before reaching the product page. Digital products, subscriptions, and single-item physical goods all benefit from the express checkout path. Even multi-item stores gain from offering both paths: customers who add something new to their cart can still use Buy Now for their planned purchase while cart-browsers can gather more items if they choose.
Mobile shoppers especially value this. Reaching the checkout page requires fewer taps on a phone, which keeps momentum going and prevents that moment of second thought when someone has to navigate to the cart, review, and find checkout. Buy Now removes that friction entirely. On desktop, it appeals to repeat customers and people who know exactly what they want and do not want to hunt for the cart and navigate a full checkout page.
Cart Abandonment and the Buy Now Effect
- A single-step checkout removes two full navigation hurdles that cause abandonment
- Mobile users complete the purchase faster, reducing the chance of app switching or distractions
- Impulse buyers do not need to see the full cart interface to feel confident in their decision
- Sticky mobile button placement keeps Buy Now in view as shoppers scroll reviews and images
- The option to clear the cart prevents accidental inclusion of old items from past sessions
- Variable products (sizes, colors) are fully supported, so buyers still customize before checkout
- Brand-matched button text and color keep the experience cohesive with your store design
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I replace Add to Cart with Buy Now or show both buttons?
You choose. Many stores show both side by side so shoppers pick their path. Others replace Add to Cart entirely with Buy Now for a cleaner product page. The plugin supports both configurations globally or per product, so test what suits your store best.
Will Buy Now hurt sales for people who want to add multiple items?
Not if you keep Add to Cart available or offer it alongside Buy Now. Shoppers who want to bundle items can still use the cart path. Buy Now is an additional option for people who prefer a streamlined checkout. Many stores report that offering both increases overall conversion because it gives customers what they actually want.
How does Buy Now work with product variations like size or color?
The button stays disabled until a variation is selected. Once a shopper picks their size and color, Buy Now lights up and takes them straight to checkout with that exact variant. It prevents accidental purchases of the wrong variation while keeping the checkout path fast.
Can I change the button text or color to match my brand?
Yes. The plugin includes a color picker so you can match your brand. You can also customize the button text globally or on a per-product basis. Configure it once in settings or adjust individual products in the editor.
Does Buy Now work with payment methods like PayPal and Stripe?
Yes. Buy Now sends shoppers to your standard WooCommerce checkout, so any payment gateway you already accept (Stripe, PayPal, Square, etc.) works with the button. No special setup or compatibility issues. It is a shortcut to the same checkout.
