About this plugin
CheckFlow is a lightweight WooCommerce checkout optimizer that helps you reduce cart abandonment and improve conversions — with zero configuration required.
Multi-Step Checkout
Split the overwhelming single-page WooCommerce checkout into a clean, guided three-step flow:
- Information — billing and shipping address
- Shipping — shipping method selection
- Payment — payment method and place order
Three progress indicator styles included:
- Step Bubbles — numbered circles with connector lines
- Progress Bar — smooth animated fill bar
- Minimal — clean numbered steps only
Each step is validated server-side via AJAX before the customer can advance — no full page reload required.
Trust Badges
Display security and guarantee icons directly on the checkout page to reassure hesitant buyers at the most critical conversion moment. Five built-in badges:
- 🔒 Secure Checkout
- 🛡️ SSL Encrypted
- ↩️ Money-Back Guarantee
- 💬 24/7 Support
- 🚚 Fast Shipping
Choose which badges to show and where to display them — below the Place Order button or below the Order Total.
