An easy, one-page checkout experience
We've revamped the checkout flow in order to make it a user-friendly experience. Your customers can see more details about their purchase, quickly enter a coupon code, and more - all on one page.
More details about the product: Now it's crystal transparent what customers are planning to purchase -- be it the amount of lessons included in the course or the dates of a scheduled webinar.
Customers can also choose among plans(community subscriptions, payment plans, monthly or. year-round pricing) on the checkout page. Customers don't need to search for a place they can enter the discount coupon.
structured address collection: If you collect addresses from customers (for tax reporting and other uses ) and now you don't have to type for your customer, and you get standardized data.
Details about your account upfront:Your clients will be able to be able to create or login to their account in the middle of the checkout. This will ensure that they will not forget to make an account and will be able to have access to your community, content, and purchases. If you are using embedded checkouts on another website, your embedded checkouts will be updated to reflect the latest checkout process inside the modal embedded.

A more robust and customizable, custom-made upsell during checkout
The power of upsells is a great way to make bigger profits: offer your clients discounts for adding additional items in their order.
Let's take an example. For instance, suppose you sell an online course in design. When customers pay for your course, you can give your customers the option of registering for the upcoming live webcast with a discount. Customers are already purchasing something from you. It's could be a bargain to have an extra product at a discounted price!
Display more details about the item that you're showing and tailor the copy to the specific offer. You can:
Create a subtitle as well as a title to the page of upsells.
Include a customized name and description to every product.
The dynamically displayed items at the time of check out. (If buyers have already purchased a product, they won't think of it as an offering. You are able to include as many items as you'd like to the upsell list.)
