Readme github.com/mohdhafizi83/woo-fast-direct-checkout ↗

Boost conversion rates by skipping the cart page and sending customers directly to checkout.

What it does

  • Skip the cart — after clicking "Buy Now", customers land straight on the checkout page (fewer steps = fewer abandoned carts).
  • Buy Now button — replaces the default "Add to Cart" label on single product and archive pages.
  • Zero-config — activate and it works.

Requirements

Minimum Tested
WordPress 6.0 6.9
WooCommerce 8.0 8.7
PHP 7.4 8.4

Install

  1. Download the latest release zip (or clone into wp-content/plugins/).
  2. Activate via Plugins → Installed Plugins.
  3. Done — no settings page needed.

How it works

Hooks into two WooCommerce filters:

  • woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect → forces redirect to wc_get_checkout_url()
  • woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text / woocommerce_product_add_to_cart_text → "Buy Now"

Dependency-safe: checks class_exists('WooCommerce') on plugins_loaded before registering anything, so it degrades gracefully if WooCommerce is inactive.

Installation

Upload the zip (recommended)

  1. Download woo-fast-direct-checkout.zip from the latest release.
  2. In wp-admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Choose the zip, click Install Now, then Activate.

WP-CLI

wp plugin install --activate https://github.com/mohdhafizi83/woo-fast-direct-checkout/releases/latest/download/woo-fast-direct-checkout.zip

Manual

Copy the plugin folder into wp-content/plugins/ and activate it under Plugins → Installed Plugins.

Configuration

Zero-config — there is no settings page. Activating the plugin:

  • Replaces "Add to Cart" with "Buy Now" on single product and archive pages.
  • Redirects customers straight to the checkout page after adding a product.

To restore the default behaviour, simply deactivate the plugin — nothing is written to the database.

FAQ

Can customers still view the cart page? Yes. The cart page still works normally — only the post-add-to-cart redirect and the button label change.

What if another plugin also hooks the add-to-cart redirect? Both hook woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect; whichever registers with the later priority wins. Add your own hook with a higher priority to override.

Does it work with variable products? Yes — the redirect fires after the product is added to cart, which is the same flow variable products use.

Will it break if WooCommerce is deactivated? No. The plugin checks class_exists('WooCommerce') on plugins_loaded and registers nothing if WooCommerce is missing.
