What it does
The standard WooCommerce flow asks shoppers to add an item to the cart, open the cart, then move on to checkout. For someone who already knows what they want, those extra steps can feel slow. This plugin gives them a direct route. A Buy Now button sits alongside or in place of the regular Add to Cart button, and one click sends the customer to checkout or the cart page, depending on how you set it up. The plugin requires WooCommerce.
You decide where the button appears: on single product pages, shop and archive pages, or anywhere else through a shortcode. You can limit it to chosen product categories, change the button wording, set link parameters and clear the cart before redirecting so the order holds only the item being bought. Every text phrase can be edited for your language. An Instant Checkout popup, with its own position options and smooth scrolling, is available in the premium version and lets buyers enter shipping and payment details without leaving the page.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores selling single items bought on impulse
- Shops wanting a shorter path from product page to checkout
- Store owners who want category-level control over purchase buttons
Features
Skip the cart page
Clicking Buy Now sends customers straight to the checkout page, or to the cart page if you choose, cutting out a step in the usual purchase flow.
Flexible button placement
Show the button on single product pages, shop pages or archive pages, and use a shortcode to place it in custom positions anywhere on your site.
Custom text and link parameters
Change the wording on the Buy Now button and configure its link parameters so the button matches your store's tone and the flow you want.
Cart reset before redirect
Optionally empty the cart before sending shoppers onward, so the order contains only the product they chose to buy right away.
Category-based display
Pick specific product categories where the Buy Now button appears, keeping it off products where you would rather use the normal cart flow.
Hide the Add to Cart button
Choose whether the default Add to Cart button stays visible next to Buy Now or is hidden so shoppers see a single purchase option.
Editable text phrases
Every text phrase the plugin uses can be changed, which makes it easy to translate the wording or adjust it to suit your store.
Instant Checkout popup
In the premium version, buyers fill in shipping and payment details in a popup that can open left, right, center, top or bottom, with smooth scrolling.

Questions about WPC Buy Now Button
Does the Buy Now button replace the Add to Cart button?
It can. You can keep the default Add to Cart button next to Buy Now so shoppers have both options, or hide it so Buy Now is the only purchase button shown.
Can I show the button on only some of my products?
Yes. You can enable the Buy Now button for specific product categories, so it appears only where you want it. You can also choose where it shows, such as single product, shop or archive pages.
What happens to items already in the cart when someone clicks Buy Now?
That depends on your settings. You can have the plugin reset the cart before redirecting, so checkout contains only the product just selected, or leave existing cart items in place.
Can customers check out without leaving the product page?
Yes, with the premium version. Its Instant Checkout popup lets buyers enter shipping and payment details on the current page, and you can position the popup on the left, right, center, top or bottom.
