5 reasons you need a faster checkout plug-in on your Zen Cart shop

How can you benefit with a faster checkout plug-in for your website?

There are several different ways you can gain more with a faster checkout service and after doing a little research I found 5 reasons why you should invest in having a faster checkout plug-in installed to your website.

Having a one page checkout plug-in for your Zen Cart website can create a much easier and less tedious experience for customers when they are purchasing products online. The benefits you gain from quicker loading times to fewer mouse clicks can be the deciding factor for consumers during the final checkout process, here are different ways I have found that help you gain more from a one page checkout.

Why do customers abandon carts?

Most reasons I found leading to customers abandoning cart during the final checkout process usually ended up being the long and frustrating information process that a multiple page checkout would come with. This is particularly prudent in the case of a Zen Cart shop; The default shopping cart is a confusing long 5 stage process that will likely result in the customers leaving from frustration or boredom! If anything from typos, slow internet speeds and internet cuts happen during the process that would cause you to refill all information that you already have entered and less likely for customers to redo. These are small steps that can add up for customers to be discouraged to buy and in turn drop out of the cart.

After having 100s of clients we built Zen Cart shops for with this problem we actually developed our own fast one page checkout plug-in which allows you to update information during the process that stop these little annoyances from happening.

How can it save time?

Saving time while checking out of an online store come hand in hand with customers that drop out of carts. Benefits of using a one page checkout system against the default checkout is that it will increase speeds of purchases by nearly a minute, according to iwdagency. When shopping online adding a more interactive page allows users to not only spend less time on clicks and loading times but you can also benefit with login options, so any returning customers do not have to repeat any purchase steps.

Does it increase website performance?

While scrolling through my research I found that a lot of posts mentioned how due to the one page of the plug-in you will increase website performance speeds. Cutting out a lot of the tedious pages of information filling that must be done, you can see the process that you are filling in and know how many steps you have left to complete.

How does it increase conversion & customer satisfaction?

Combining the last two points together just felt right, because you can’t have one without the other right? Well, you will reap the benefits of increased conversion on your online stores from most of the reasons that are covered above. The simple step by step process you will allow customers to have even when on mobiles and tablets make it quick and easy, combined with googles autofill option the process becomes even quicker!

Leaving the payment process to the last page of your checkout can easily be completed when it requires less clicks to get to that page. Imagine having to refill forms at a public office and being given 5 pages of questions and information you have to fill in, and unfortunately having to repeat the process due to a correction or a loss of the file, well now imagine having all that information saved while you were writing it, now whenever you revisit you just have to show identification to complete the payment process. Well that sure would save a great amount of time!
