One Step Above the Offtake: Magento One-Step Checkout

In the world of eCommerce, one cannot live without optimizations. Technologies evolve as well as human laziness. Going through several pages at checkout is no longer appropriate, users need things that are simplified greatly, things that allow simply switch off the brain and do everything automatically, pressing the button Continue...

On way of simplifying there appeared One-Step Checkout that allows buy stuff at online stores passing through a single page. Using this extension checkout process for online stores running on Magento platform turns into a one minute action. By simplifying the process, more customers complete the purchase and your revenues increase greatly.

Check out the following graph:

According to the curve line in mid September one step checkout extension was implemented and there was noticed a substantially improved conversion rate. Up from an average of 2% to 3.23% over the next few months. The only thing to consider from this is the fact this clients do cater for a less internet savvy consumer.

Magento community is drooling like a happy dog around one step checkouts, but there is one thing that is all the time forgotten about - testing! If you find something new on the web, breakneck pace installation will not help you increase conversion, it may come out that you'll loose part of your traffic. Start an A/B testing: use completely separate URLs like:

https://www.youriste.com/checkout/onepage and https://www.yoursite.com/onestepcheckout

...plug analytics in and see what will happen.
