How Do I Skip a Checkout Page in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:52 pm

When setting up your WooCommerce store, you may have noticed that there is a Skip Checkout setting under the Checkout tab. This setting allows you to disable the checkout process entirely, which can be useful if you’re selling digital products or services.

If you’re selling physical products, though, you’ll probably want to keep the checkout process enabled. But what if you want to skip the checkout page for certain products?

There are a few ways to do this. One way is to use the Skip Checkout setting in WooCommerce.

To do this, go to your WooCommerce settings page and select the Checkout tab. Then, select the Skip Checkout checkbox and save your changes.

PRO TIP: If you are considering skipping the checkout page in WooCommerce, please be aware that this could have negative consequences for your business. First and foremost, skipping the checkout page means that your customers will not be able to provide you with their shipping information, which could lead to delays or even lost orders. Additionally, by skipping the checkout page you will also be missing out on important data that can help you to improve your store, such as customer feedback and contact information.

Another way to skip the checkout page is to use a plugin like WooCommerce Product Page Redirect. This plugin allows you to redirect users to the product page after they add a product to their cart.

You can also use a custom script to redirect users to the product page after they add a product to their cart. Here’s an example of how you could do this:

add_action( ‘woocommerce_add_to_cart’, ‘skip_checkout_redirect’ );
function skip_checkout_redirect() {
wp_redirect( home_url() . ‘/your-product-page’ );
exit;
}
?>

There are a few different ways that you can skip the checkout page in WooCommerce. You can use the Skip Checkout setting in WooCommerce, or you can use a plugin like WooCommerce Product Page Redirect, or you can use a custom script.
