To create a Webflow Buy Now button that bypasses the cart and takes the user directly to the checkout for a better user experience (UX), you can follow these steps:
1. Build your product page: Start by creating a product page in Webflow and design it as per your requirements. Add all the necessary details about the product, such as its price, description, and any variations.
2. Set up a form: Create a form element on your product page where users can provide their contact and payment details. You can use Webflow's built-in form element or integrate a third-party form service like Typeform or JotForm.
3. Add a custom attribute: Select your "Buy Now" button element and go to the Settings panel. Under the Attributes section, click the '+' icon to add a new attribute. Set the attribute name as `data-wf-cart-type` and the attribute value as `buy-now`.
4. Set up checkout: Navigate to your Webflow project settings and select the "Ecommerce" tab. Under the "Cart" section, enable "Add to Cart" for the product but disable the "Multiple products" and "Cart" options.
5. Customize the checkout form: Customize the checkout form according to your needs. Remove any unnecessary fields and retain only the essential ones like name, email, and payment method.
6. Redirect to checkout: Now, you'll need some custom code to make the Buy Now button redirect the user directly to the checkout page. You can add the following code to your project's Custom Code section, in the Footer Code section or via the custom attributes of the button using the embed element:
```javascript
```
Make sure to replace `/checkout` in the `checkoutUrl` variable with the actual URL of your checkout page.
7. Test and refine: Preview your website and test the Buy Now button. Ensure that it redirects the user directly to the checkout page without adding the product to the cart. Make any necessary adjustments to the design or functionality to refine the UX.
By following these steps, you can create a Webflow Buy Now button that bypasses the cart and takes users directly to the checkout page, providing a streamlined and efficient purchasing experience for merchants with small inventories or binary product choices.
