Sending shoppers straight to checkout (skip cart)

Skip cart and go to checkout sends shoppers to checkout after a successful add handled by Bundlex Bundles. Leave it off when shoppers should review the cart, choose cart upsells or keep shopping. Turn it on for a focused purchase flow after testing it with your theme.

What "Skip cart and go to checkout" does

Bundlex Bundles adds the selected offer, then redirects to your store's standard checkout. The setting belongs to the whole discount configuration, not one offer: it can also redirect a Single or Buy 1 selection. It does not apply only when the shopper chooses a multi-product bundle.

The redirect follows a successful add and the relevant post-add checks. A theme may briefly display cart feedback before navigation. Do not rely on an exact delay or use the redirect as proof that every expected item arrived; check the checkout contents.

With the setting off, the theme's normal flow applies. That may open a drawer, stay on the product page or navigate to the cart.

How to turn it on

  1. Open the bundle you want to edit in the Bundlex Bundles dashboard.
  2. Open Advanced and scroll to Cart and checkout.
  3. Check Skip cart and go to checkout.
  4. Save the bundle and make sure it is active on the product you will test.
Bundlex Bundles Advanced settings scrolled to Cart and checkout, with Skip cart and go to checkout checked and neighboring sections visible.
Under Advanced, find Cart and checkout and enable Skip cart and go to checkout. Save before testing the normal Add to cart button.

Each discount has its own setting. Enabling it on one configuration does not change every other bundle in your store.

When the theme keeps control

  • Add-ons-only mode: Bundlex Bundles leaves the post-add flow to the theme. The skip-cart control is not offered for this mode.
  • Optional selection with no offer chosen: the normal theme flow applies while no offer is selected.
  • Failed or incomplete adds: Bundlex Bundles does not use its normal successful-add redirect when it detects an incomplete bundle. Read any error and check what reached the cart.

A separate Buy it now, quick-buy or cash-on-delivery button can use another purchase path. This setting does not make every custom button compatible. Test the product page's normal Add to cart button first. See how adding a bundle works.

Test before using it with customers

  1. Open an eligible product in your intended market and select an offer.
  2. Click the normal Add to cart button once and wait for checkout.
  3. Confirm all selected products, variants, quantities and eligible extras are present.
  4. Check the product subtotal and discount, then separately check shipping and taxes. You do not need to place an order to inspect these.
  5. Repeat with the Single or Buy 1 offer if your configuration includes one.

Skipping the cart changes navigation, not discount eligibility or calculation. Checkout still checks the actual cart contents. Any existing cart items can also remain in checkout; this is not a fresh-cart or one-click payment feature.

If your cart drawer collects required information or offers products shoppers should consider, leave this setting off so customers can use that step. Discount labels follow your usual configuration; see cart and checkout labels.
