cartThe page is the last stop for users to "hesitate", the more concise and focused the better.

Recommended Action:

• Hide extraneous modules

To get to the shopping cart page, navigate in the WordPress backend to Pages > Shopping Cart > EditThe
Disable distracting elements such as "Suggested Products" and "Offer Countdown", and keep only the Product List, Subtotal, Coupon Input Box, and Checkout Button.

• Simplify operations with plug-ins

For merchants who are not familiar with programming, they can take advantage of theWooCommerce Pluginto simplify the operation. For example, using the "Direct Checkout for WooCommerce" plugin, which provides the ability for customers to skip the page and go directly to the checkout.

For example, change "Continue Shopping" to "Return to Product Page" and "Checkout" to "Checkout Now".

• Open Ajax Add to Shopping

While the cart page can't modify behavior directly, enabling Ajax add-ons on product pages reduces the number of hops and is better for keeping up with the pace of orders.

trails: Backend → WoodMart > Theme Settings > Shop > Product archive
Enable the Ajax Add to Cart option.

II. Streamlining the checkout process page

The design of the checkout page is directly related to the success of the conversion. WoodMart offers a one-page checkout template that allows you to display all the information in a centralized manner and reduce the number of clicks.

Recommended Settings:

1. Using the WoodMart Default Checkout Page

After the installation of WooCommerce is completed, the system will automatically generate the "Checkout" page and bind it to the backend path:

• WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Checkout Page

Confirm the operation:

• Make sure the page contains the shortcode:
• No need to enable "Checkout Templates", WoodMart will automatically use its own landscaping styles
• If you want to edit the layout, you can use Elementor to insert a checkout block, but you need to avoid breaking the WooCommerce process logic.

2. Streamline field information (free plugin recommended)
