What happens when the visitors have to check out at your store? There are two ways. The first one is when your customers go through the checkout process and complete a purchase successfully. The second is when users just leave the page.
The second scenarios is not about us, isn't it? We are so confident with it because we know you use the FireCheckout module in your Magento 2 store. It means you have a foolproof way to prevent checkout page abandonment.
Today we came with excellent checkout ideas provided by new FireCheckout 1.13.0 release. Just keep reading.
New release provides amazing new features, a variety of visual improvements, stability improvements and bug fixes, the updates for FireCheckout built-in modules.
New features
3 new themes added.
For now, the FireCheckout module includes four themes to use: Default, Light, Midnight, Round.
You can select the one you liked to make the checkout match your entire website design. Now everybody's got a choice as to how to style a checkout page in the best way.
Stylish tooltips
The FireCheckout page can't be unmatched for good usability. So in the recent release, we've added one more user-friendly option. Now your customers will see the tooltips if an error happens when filling some address fields.
The module allows switching between awesome Tooltips mode and Magento default notices and errors below the fields. The new feature is a very good point both for UI an UX terms. A hint will explain to a customer what's wrong. That will help to input the correct data and complete filling the checkout fields faster.
Configurable order review section added
Now you can enable Show order review option in the FireCheckout configuration. That allows you to show an information about shipping address and shipping method above the cart items block. The feature will help your customers to review all terms of the order just to be more confident before submitting an order.
Nice CSS spinner
We’ve replaced the default ajax loader image with nice CSS spinner. Now your customers will see an animated loading circle each time the checkout page got updated.
Additional content changes
With FireCheckout module the adding content to the checkout page is very easy. All you need is to choose a position where you want to show your content.
