In the multi-page checkout, checkout stages are spread across multiple pages on which customers can provide the necessary details as well as select the shipping and payment methods.

The multi-page checkout contains the following components:

  1. Login page: the customers who have ordered from your online store before can log in at the beginning of the checkout process, so that their details will be filled in at checkout automatically.
  2. Providing customer and shipping details: here customers provide their contact information used for processing the order and, optionally, indicate a separate shipping address for the order.
  3. Shipping method selection: on this page, the customer can select the desired shipping method. Read also how shipping methods are selected for orders.
  4. Payment method selection: after the shipping method has been selected, the customer can select the desired payment method. Read also how payment methods are selected for orders.
  5. Order preview:
  6. Payment processing page: if the payment method selected for the order requires e.g. selecting the online bank or other clarification procedures, the customer will be redirected to the payment processing page.
  7. Order confirmation page: after the order has been confirmed, and possibly paid, the customer is redirected to the order confirmation page. The customers are also redirected to the order confirmation page from external payment services.

If you or your store theme's designer are implementing the multi-page checkout in the store, see the Designer's Guide for detailed instructions.
