Being a Woocommerce expert & having 10+ years of experience in this industry, I can put some most important points to consider while building your checkout page.
- Avoid unnecessary fields – Default Woocommerce checkout gives you a bunch of all necessary fields. Many of them like Company name etc. – you may not need them. Showing customers so many fields(especially which does not mean anything to you), can cause customer to leave the site without filling out all details.
Try to minimize the number of fields. Re-think about each field it – “Do I really need this information?“!
If you are not technical person or not sure how to remove unnecessary fields, you can get this plugin. It gives you On/Off settings for each field in admin so that you can toggle them on/off and also add necessary fields if needed. - Keep billing email first in the checkout, so that in case if customer leaves the checkout page, you can remind them about abandoned cart. According to my experience, recovering abandoned cart can boost your revenue by 10%. – Don’t miss this. Above mentioned plugin allows you to do this as well!!
- Don’t flood customer with upsells! Upsells are definitely good for revenue boost and it helps site. But some sites keep showing upsell products one after another and users leave checkout page without placing actual order. Balance this evenly!
- Minimize number of ajax requests on checkout page. For each ajax request, customer has to wait until the request completes. Nobody likes to wait! 🙂 😉
- Split checkout process into smaller steps. When users see step by step progress, it encourages them to complete each milestone and have better clarity on how far they are from completion.
If you are not too sure on how to add steps view and build multistep checkout, then you can use this plugin.

In different real time situations, we need to split payments of an order to multiple entities. Woocommerce does not allow this functionality by default. For e.g. You are running a dropship store, where you sell items from multiple vendors. So, whenever order comes in, you need to send specific % of order amount to vendor and keep the remaining % with you.
SOLUTION
Using PayPal
- We recommend you to use Woocommerce PayPal Payout plugin. It lets you split PayPal payment to multiple entities.
- Once you install it, you can setup all receiver’s PayPal email & the % amount, which they will receive when order comes in.
Using Stripe
- If you are using stripe, then we recommend you Stripe Connect for Woocommerce .
- This plugin will let you split your order amount to multiple stripe accounts for one woocommerce order. You can pay commissions for your orders using this plugin.
What if I need to send split payment to multiple vendors?
Don’t worry at all! We’ve got you covered! You can use Woocommerce Multi-vendor plugin in combination with Woocommerce PayPal Payout. They are compatible with each other.
