OneStepCheckout for Magento
OneStepCheckout is an extension to the Magento ecommerce platform. Magento has exploded in popularity the past couple of years, and the amount of stores now running on Magento has exceeded 60,000. The checkout process is extremely important for any online store, and the OneStepCheckout product greatly simplifies the checkout process for any Magento store.
The main feature of this Magento extension is to remove the unecessary amount of steps in the default Magento checkout from six - to just a single step. This will greatly reduce the workload any customer has to go through to complete a purchase. By dividing the different steps into different sections in a single, larger form, the customer can easily see what needs to be entered in order to complete the purchase.
A lot of customers aren't quite sure if they are going to complete the purchase - by adding a product to the cart and visiting the checkout, they see how much they have to go through in order to place the order. Many customers decide to drop out when they see an extensive checkout process - but if they enter OneStepCheckout they will immediately see how fast they can get the order placed.
Many OneStepCheckout customers reports improved conversion rates of 10-50%, and with over 1000 customers almost everyone is satisfied with the product, and thinks it improves conversion rates.
The product is developed using Magento's internal guidelines for code, layout and templates, making it easy for any Magento web developer to customize the look and feel of the checkout process to fit their needs. Also, the code is not encrypted in any way so customers can customize the backend code in any way they see fit - to meet their needs.
In the backend control panel you will be able to change a wide variety of settings that will help you get the perfect checkout for your store. You can set a title and description for the checkout, you can exclude fields, set registration options and a lot more.
OneStepCheckout is very actively in development and new versions are released every 1-2 months. New versions introduce new features and fixes issues with previous versions. We are just about to launch version 2.3 which makes the installation process a breeze (no need to change any templates!) and a lot more.
What is One Step Checkout for MagentoCommerce?
OSC combines all six Magento steps into one and removes all unnecessary fields and questions. Data fields are also dynamically updated via AJAX. Never before has checkout been easier and faster!
Improving the checkout process results in more customers completing their sales, and this has an immediate impact on your bottom line. It is the single most effective technical change you can make to reduce shopping cart abandonment.
OneStepCheckout simplifies the checkout process of your Magento store.
Checking out is often the most complicated part of placing an order online, and many users end up abandoning their order.
Some customers will be motivated enough to purchase regardless of how difficult it is - but others will be lost due to check-out complexity.
OneStepCheckout greatly simplifies this process, leading to an immediate sales increase.
Explanation of Standard and Enterprise editions
We offer two editions of our checkout module: Enterprise and Standard.
The main difference between the licenses, is the free support and lifetime updates that comes with the Enterprise edition, and ability to use the checkout for multiple domains within the same installation.
The Standard edition is not a stripped down version of the checkout, it has all the same core features that the Enterprise checkout provides.
The only exceptions is the GeoIP feature as well as account registration during checkout.
If you are running a fairly small Magento store, and you are able to do technical installations, or maybe have some developers at hand, you will be happy with the Standard edition.
If you handle a large volume of sales and have a high demand for customization, instant support (also by phone) and more, you will be needing the Enterprise-edition.
Standard edition
The Standard-edition of the checkout is for the smaller Magento stores that will take care of installation in-house, and who doesn't require any support.
It is fully possible to both customize and use the OneStepCheckout in-house, if you have the technical expertise required. Standard-license customers gets free updates of the checkout for six months, and is not allowed to use the checkout for multiple domains or installations.
Enterprise edition
The Enterprise-edition of the OneStepCheckout is suited for high-end Magento stores that handle a large volume of transactions, and has ecommerce as their core business.
The Enterprise-license comes with free lifetime updates, free support on both customization and bugs/issues in addition to all the OSC features. The Enterprise license also allows you to run the OSC on multiple domains within the same installation. We are always open to feature requests, and Enterprise customers will get priority in implementing suggested features.
