Advanced cart and checkout customization for Ecwid stores

Ecwid offers a swift one-page checkout where your customers enter their shipping, payment, and contact details before placing orders. You can customize checkout in your store in a number of ways, including adding fields to collect information like order comments or tax IDs, sorting shipping options, and more.

On top of that, you can use Ecwid’s API to fully customize cart and checkout in your store. This will require coding that you can either do yourself or hire an expert.

Ecwid provides paid custom development services from a dedicated in-house team. Read on to learn how to order advanced cart & checkout customization from Ecwid's team of experienced developers. 

Examples of advanced cart and checkout customization

Here are just a few examples of cart and checkout customization to power your Ecwid store:

• Tailored checkout fields. Ecwid has custom checkout fields that allow saving additional information to the order. In case you need advanced logic or a different design, you can add it with API. For example, you can collect several shipping addresses at checkout (though the shipping price will be calculated based on the main one):

• Custom discounts. For example, you can add complex weekday-specific discounts. At checkout, Ecwid will analyze the contents of your customer’s order and return the percentage or an absolute discount amount for that cart.
• Upsell with banners or progress bars right in the cart. It’s possible to add a banner or progress bar on the checkout page. It will show how much more customers need to spend to receive a gift, discount, or free shipping. This can encourage shoppers to make larger purchases: 

• Adding a calculator. For example, you need to calculate the cost of goods using specific terms (e.g., cost per square meter) or apply additional markup based on selected options. You can come up with a formula and add the calculator to the product details page so that customers can learn the price prior to purchase. These prices will also appear at checkout. 
• Payment methods limited based on the customer’s country. In Ecwid, you can bind payments to specific shipping methods to restrict payment methods based on the customer’s location. If this tool doesn’t suit you, you can use custom development to limit payment method availability at checkout. You can also add surcharges or discounts for orders from specific countries.
• Supporting different product-specific shipping methods. Let’s say you have product-specific shipping methods: homemade cookies are for delivery, and coffee mugs are for in-store pickup only. If these items are purchased together, Ecwid won’t allow the order to be placed. However, you can customize order “splitting,” allowing customers to buy both items in a single order while you handle shipping them with different methods.
• …Or any other custom behavior you require to empower your store’s checkout process. This also includes integrating custom shipping and payment methods.
