Do you want to display a Buy Now button on WooCommerce pages instead of the add-to-cart button?
If yes, then you’ve landed at the right place!
In WooCommerce, the customer journey to complete the purchase spreads across multiple pages. Customers visit a separate page for each product, select options, and add the product to their cart.
They then proceed to a cart page to review their order. Finally, they reach the checkout page, where they enter their shipping and billing information.
As you might expect, such a lengthy process will inevitably result in losing some customers. This reduces your sales and revenue by lowering your conversion rate.
WooCommerce stores are designed by default to have a relatively slow purchase process. You can reduce the purchase time for each customer by using a WooCommerce buy now button. This will have a significant impact on your conversion rate and bottom line.
So in today’s article, I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to display the WooCommerce Buy Now button with the help of the AIO Checkout plugin. Here’s a quick sneak peek of the final results.

1. Improve the User’s Purchase Experience
Customers manually add items to their shopping cart, navigate to the add-to-cart page, and then proceed to the checkout page to complete the purchase using WooCommerce.

A lengthy checkout process is a real turnoff for customers and is one of the leading causes of abandoned carts. Online purchasing should be simple and quick.
