Overview

About this plugin

Templates Rocket Buy Now adds a Buy Now button to your WooCommerce products that skips the cart and sends shoppers straight to checkout. One click — no cart page in between. Less friction means fewer abandoned carts and faster sales.

Templates Rocket Buy Now reuses WooCommerce’s own add-to-cart form, so stock, quantity and validation all behave exactly as they should — the shopper just lands straight on the checkout page instead of the cart.

Buy Now button, direct checkout, skip the cart

  • Adds a Buy Now button on single product pages
  • Skips the cart and redirects straight to the checkout page
  • Optionally sends only the clicked product to checkout (true one-item express checkout)
  • Choose the button label and where it sits — before or after Add to Cart
  • Buy Now only — optionally hide the Add to Cart button so Buy Now is the single action
  • Theme-native by default — the button inherits your theme’s own button styling, so it always matches your store
  • Or switch to custom colours and pick the background and text colour in one click
  • One global on/off toggle

One product, straight to checkout

Turn on “empty cart before direct purchase” and Buy Now sends only the product the customer clicked to checkout — no leftover items, no confusion on the checkout page.

Looks like your theme, or your colours

The button ships with the theme’s own button classes, so by default it looks exactly like your Add to Cart button — no clashing colours. Prefer to make it pop? Switch to custom colours and pick your own background and text colour.

Lightweight — zero front-end JavaScript

The free version ships no JavaScript on the front end. The Buy Now button is a native WooCommerce form submit, and the small stylesheet loads only on product pages. Nothing extra to slow your store down.

Works with your theme and the block checkout

The button is rendered through WooCommerce’s standard product hooks, so it works with any WooCommerce-ready theme. It redirects to your checkout page whatever its type — classic shortcode or the Checkout block. Fully compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).

Works with simple and variable products

The Buy Now button works on simple and variable products, using WooCommerce’s native variation handling. Grouped and external products don’t map to a single Buy Now action, so the button simply doesn’t show on them — it never breaks those pages.

Templates Rocket Buy Now Pro

The free plugin is fully functional on its own. A separate premium add-on, Templates Rocket Buy Now Pro, adds features that are not part of the free plugin: a Buy Now button on shop and category pages, per-product button text & colours, and catalog-wide direct checkout. Pro is entirely optional.
