Join Patrick Rauland for an in-depth discussion in this video Streamline the checkout template, part of WordPress: Customizing WooCommerce Themes.
- [Narrator] You may have noticed…that when you're on the Amazon home page,…they show you all sorts of things,…lots of images and products because…they want you to browse around.…But when you're in the checkout,…all of a sudden all of that clutter…disappears because they want you to do one thing,…and that is checkout.…With your WooCommerce store, there is a lot…of unnecessary items that we can remove…once someone enters the checkout.…We still want them to get back home if they need to,…but we want to make sure they don't…get lost browsing and don't end up…forgetting to check out.…
The first thing we want to do is…make the checkout full screen.…There is no need to show someone…a sidebar when they're in the checkout.…In the WordPress admin, you can go to the checkout page…and change it to a full width template,…or we can skip to it right here.…Edit Page, Template, Full width,…and then click Update.…If you don't see that option in your theme,…it means that your theme doesn't have…different page templates like Storefront does.…
