Buy Button: The Dynamics Of Checkout
For ages, we have been constantly looking forward to making the shopping experience much more simpler & effortless. Most eCommerce websites now have the ‘Buy Now‘ button to make the check out process more dynamic & short!
Dynamic Checkout: Customers can skip the cart and go directly to the checkout page just by hitting the ‘Buy Now’ button instead of ‘Add to Cart’. Thus, making the purchasing time short & less hectic.
Well, good for online store owners but what if artists, bloggers, and others who aren’t running full-fledged ecommerce businesses but want to sell products under their niche?
What if they have more traffic on their other website as compared to their online store?
So here comes the savior Buy Button!
The whole process of clicking away to another page and then making the purchase has now been turned down with the Shopify Buy Buttons.
Shopify Buy Button lets merchants generate an embeddable product card and check out that can be placed on any type of website. The goal is to give your customers a frictionless shopping experience!
Buy Button is basically a shortcut to buy one of your products. Customers don’t need to go to a separate page to finalize their order.
The Buy Button will display information like product picture, description, price, and a way to check out and purchase that product without leaving the website. Moreover, any updates made on your Shopify store products will be reflected on the Buy Button end too.
