The General Settings tab allows you to control the overall behavior of your multi-step checkout flow. These settings define how customers move through the checkout process and what steps they’ll encounter. Tweak them to match your store’s needs and improve conversion.

Enable Multi-Step Checkout

Turn on a step-by-step checkout flow, breaking the purchase journey into easy-to-follow steps.

Enable Separate Shipping Step

Display shipping details in their own step, separate from billing.

When this is enabled, customers will fill in their shipping information in a dedicated step, making the checkout process clearer—especially for orders that require shipping.

The shipping step is shown only when shipping is required for the order. If disabled, shipping and billing fields appear together in a single step.

Connected WooCommerce Setting

This feature is affected by WooCommerce’s Shipping destination setting:

WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Shipping Options → Shipping destination
Options include:

• Default to customer shipping address
• Default to customer billing address
• Force shipping to the customer billing address

These options determine whether and how the shipping step appears based on what WooCommerce considers the shipping address.

Enable Login Step

Add a dedicated step for login or registration, giving guests a chance to sign in.

Requires WooCommerce’s “Enable login during checkout” option to be active.

Show Registration Form

Enable this option to display the WooCommerce registration form next to the login form within the dedicated login step. This allows guest users to create an account during checkout.

Requires WooCommerce’s “Allow customers to create an account on the ‘My account’ page” setting to be enabled.

Separate Order Review & Payment

Enable this option to divide the final checkout phase into two distinct steps: first, the Order Review step where customers can verify their order details, followed by the Payment step to complete the transaction. This separation helps reduce errors and enhances the clarity of the checkout process.

Enable Dedicated Coupon Step

Enable this option to add a separate step in the checkout process specifically for applying coupon codes. This step appears before the review step, making it easier for customers to redeem discounts without missing the option. Requires WooCommerce’s coupon feature to be enabled under WooCommerce → Settings → General → Enable coupons.

Show “Back to Cart” Button

Enable this option to display a Back to Cart button during checkout. This gives customers a convenient way to return to their cart if they need to review or update their items before completing the purchase.

Validate Steps Before Proceeding

Enable this option to enforce step-by-step validation during checkout. Customers must complete all required fields in the current step before they can proceed to the next, helping to ensure accuracy and reduce incomplete submissions.

Force Sequential Checkout

Enable this option to require customers to complete each checkout step in sequence without skipping ahead. This ensures that all necessary information is entered in the proper order, improving the overall flow and reducing errors.
