        Privacy Policy<\/h3>\n\n

        Chakramani Multi-Step Checkout for WooCommerce does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external services. Customer data entered during checkout is stored only in your WooCommerce database as part of the order, exactly as the standard WooCommerce checkout does. No data is sent to the plugin developer or any third party.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Upload the chakramani-multi-step-checkout<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code><\/li>\n
        2. Activate the plugin via Plugins \u2192 Installed Plugins<\/strong><\/li>\n
        3. Navigate to WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Multi-Step Checkout<\/strong> to configure<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

          The plugin activates immediately. If your checkout page uses the WooCommerce Checkout Block, the plugin automatically replaces it with the classic checkout flow.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n

          Does it work with the WooCommerce Checkout Block?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. On activation, the plugin automatically detects and replaces the Checkout Block on your checkout page with the classic checkout flow. Your original page content is backed up and restored if you deactivate the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I customise which fields appear in each step?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. Go to WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Multi-Step Checkout \u2192 Step Builder<\/strong>. You can reorder fields by dragging, toggle them on\/off, edit their labels and placeholders, change their type, and add custom fields. Changes are saved instantly via AJAX.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Are custom field values saved to the order?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. All custom fields added via the Step Builder are saved to WooCommerce order meta when the order is placed. You can view them on the order detail screen in WP admin. Standard fields (name, email, address etc.) are handled by WooCommerce as normal.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I override the step templates in my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. Copy any template from chakramani-multi-step-checkout\/templates\/<\/code> into your theme at yourtheme\/chakramani-multi-step-checkout\/<\/code> and edit it freely. The plugin checks your child theme, then your parent theme, then falls back to the plugin default.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Which layout should I use?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            \n
          • Default<\/strong> \u2014 Best choice for most stores. Progress bar keeps customers oriented, sidebar reassures them of their order.<\/li>\n
          • Centered<\/strong> \u2014 Works well with minimalist or full-width themes.<\/li>\n
          • Minimal<\/strong> \u2014 Best for stores where customers are already familiar with the checkout.<\/li>\n
          • Split<\/strong> \u2014 Best for dedicated checkout landing pages or stores with strong branding.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n

            Does it work with all payment gateways?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            The plugin renders the standard WooCommerce payment gateway list and fires all the standard WC checkout hooks, so all properly coded payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) work without modification.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Is it compatible with WooCommerce HPOS?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes. The plugin uses wc_get_order()<\/code> and $order->update_meta_data()<\/code> throughout, which is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS \/ Custom Order Tables).<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Can I add content between steps or inject custom fields?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes. Use the action hooks fired inside each step:<\/p>\n\n

            add_action( 'cmmsc_step_review', 'my_function' );\nadd_action( 'cmmsc_step_details', 'my_function' );\nadd_action( 'cmmsc_step_delivery', 'my_function' );\nadd_action( 'cmmsc_step_payment', 'my_function' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
            For field injection specifically, use:<\/p>\n\n
            add_action( 'cmmsc_after_customer_details_fields', 'my_function' );\nadd_action( 'cmmsc_after_delivery_fields', 'my_function' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
            See the Developer Docs tab for the full reference.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            What PHP version is required?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            PHP 8.0 or higher. The plugin uses strict types, nullable typed properties, and arrow functions.<\/p><\/dd>\n
            Does it support RTL languages?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
            The CSS uses logical properties where possible. RTL support depends on your theme's RTL stylesheet.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
            1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n
