Screen for new or registered customer
If a customer in your online store is not already logged in, they will be directed to a login page where they enter their email/password combination to access their account. The customer also has the option to log in with his Facebook account, provided the social login option is enabled.
If the customer has not yet created an account with your online store, this can also be done by:
register by clicking the Register button, then log in when he has completed the registration process to continue shopping
or click Buy as guest
You can disable guest checkout and enable social login in Settings > Advanced. Click here to learn how.
Customer information
After logging in or purchasing as a guest, the customer is redirected to a customer information page, where they must fill in personal information such as their name, address and other fields that you have set as mandatory information.
You can configure both the required and/or optional fields in the Name and Address section of the Advanced page by navigating to Settings > GENERAL SETTINGS > Advanced. Click here to learn how.
Shipping method
At this stage, the customer is informed about the shipping costs. What the customer sees at this stage depends on the shipping method(s) you configured under Settings > SHOP SETTINGS >Shipping Methods in the left menu of the Back Office.

Payment method

Confirmation of the order
The last step a customer sees is the order confirmation. In this phase, the customer can submit comments that you see on the dashboard of the relevant order.

thank you page
A thank you page appears after the customer clicks Buy. It contains a summary of the order.
If a customer chooses a payment method that takes over the payment on the provider's website, he or she is redirected there before seeing the thank you page.
The title and content of the thank you page can be edited on the page Content > Thank you for your purchase! . Click here to learn how.
