Multi-Step Checkout
Category: Checkout · Tier: Pro tier (and Agency) · Marketing page →
What it does
Breaks the checkout into 2-4 named steps (e.g. Contact → Shipping → Payment → Review). Customer sees progress and isn’t overwhelmed by a single long form.
Why it matters
Long single-page checkouts have high mid-form abandonment. Steps reduce perceived effort and let you put the friction (payment) last.
Where to find it
In WordPress admin: ★ Asteris Cart → Modules → Multi-Step Checkout. The module is enabled by default on every fresh install of a Pro-or-higher licence — disable from the same page if you don”t want it.
Per-module settings live under that same page once enabled. Global module on/off lives at ★ Asteris Cart → Modules (the master switch grid).
Settings reference
Number of steps (2-4), step labels, fields per step (drag-and-drop), validation on next-click, save progress on back-button, review-summary on final step.
Tips
Pro tier required. The Template Engine loads transitively whenever Multi-Step is enabled — you don’t need to enable it separately.
