Every page between \"Add to cart\" and \"Pay\" is a chance for a shopper to leave.<\/strong> WALoops Express Checkout for WooCommerce shortens that path to a slide-in cart and a single checkout panel that opens right on top of the page they are already looking at. No redirect to a separate cart page, no long multi-step form, no starting from scratch on every visit.<\/p>\n\n It sits on top of WooCommerce instead of replacing it. Your products, shipping zones, taxes, coupons, payment gateways and order emails all keep working exactly as before. Orders are created by WooCommerce's own checkout, so everything downstream (order emails, stock, reports, your fulfilment and accounting plugins) sees a completely normal order.<\/p>\n\n Shoppers enter their WhatsApp number, receive a six-digit code in the chat they open every day, and they are logged in. A new number quietly becomes a normal WooCommerce customer account; a returning number brings back saved addresses. There is no password to forget and no reset email to wait for.<\/p>\n\n WhatsApp OTP runs on the WALoops WhatsApp OTP service. Create a free WALoops account from the Login tab, paste your API key, and you can send real one-time codes straight away. The free plan includes 100 codes a month with no credit card. Prefer not to use WhatsApp? Leave it off. Email code, email and password, and guest checkout need no account with anyone.<\/p>\n\n Everything above is free and stays free. Express Checkout Pro<\/strong> is a separate download from waloops.com that adds order-value boosters and smarter payment pricing on top, for $79 per year<\/strong> for one WooCommerce site, with updates and support included.<\/p>\n\n The Pro features are previewed, greyed out, in this plugin's settings so you can see what each one does. They are previews only: nothing in this plugin is locked, trial-limited or switched on by a key. Pro installs in place of this plugin and keeps all your settings. See the plans at waloops.com\/quick-checkout<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n This plugin can connect to one external service: the WALoops WhatsApp OTP service at https:\/\/app.waloops.com\/<\/strong>. It is used only if you turn on WhatsApp OTP login and add a WALoops API key on the Login tab. With WhatsApp OTP off, or no API key added, the plugin makes no external requests.<\/p>\n\n What is sent, and when:<\/p>\n\n Email code login is handled entirely on your own site with WordPress's own No other data is sent to any third party. The service is provided by WALoops: Terms of Service<\/a> and Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n No. Those pages are left alone and keep working. The plugin adds a slide-in cart and a checkout panel on top of your storefront, and orders are still created by WooCommerce's own checkout. Turn on the kill switch on the General tab and every shopper goes back to the native pages instantly.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. WhatsApp OTP login is optional. If you want it, a free WALoops account gives you an API key and codes are sent from WALoops' shared WhatsApp number, so you need no Meta setup. Email code, email and password, and guest checkout work without any external account.<\/p><\/dd>\n It uses your gateways as they are configured in WooCommerce, including gateways that render their own payment fields. Gateways differ in how much they rely on the classic checkout page, so if one doesn't behave inside the panel, mark it on the Payment Gateways<\/strong> tab and shoppers who pick it will finish on the normal checkout page, with their address and delivery choice already filled in.<\/p><\/dd>\n It is designed to work with any properly built WooCommerce theme, classic or block-based. It has been tested with the default block theme (Twenty Twenty-Five), including the Add to cart buttons in block product grids. If your theme has its own cart icon or checkout button, enter its CSS selector under General<\/strong> and it will open the drawer or panel instead. If you'd rather use only your theme's controls, turn off the floating cart button.<\/p><\/dd>\n Nothing changes. Orders are created through WooCommerce's own checkout, so order emails, stock, taxes, reports and any plugin that listens to WooCommerce order hooks work the same way.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Guest checkout with just an email is one of the login options, provided WooCommerce's Allow customers to place orders without an account<\/strong> setting is on.<\/p><\/dd>\n Codes are single-use and short-lived. Requests are rate-limited per phone number, per email address and per visitor, so the login options can't be used to flood someone with messages. Accounts that can edit content or manage the store (administrators, shop managers and so on) can never be signed in through the checkout panel; they must use the normal login page.<\/p><\/dd>\n Saved addresses and the verified phone number are stored as user meta on the customer's account, and are included in WordPress's personal data export and erasure tools. Deleting the plugin removes its settings and this user meta. A suggested privacy policy paragraph is added under Settings > Privacy<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Every string uses the Yes. The plugin only reads and writes orders through WooCommerce's own order objects and declares compatibility with HPOS.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhat shoppers get<\/h4>\n\n
