Checkout X now scans for virtual goods in the cart to automatically enable digital product mode for an optimized shopping experience.

Today, we're launching the newest upgrade to Checkout X - Digital Checkouts.

Stores that are selling digital products on WooCommerce now automatically get an optimized checkout experience that's designed to remove distractions and only leave the essentials. No need for you to take any action.

The new Digital Checkout enables customers to buy virtual products much faster with a laser-focused experience showing only what's necessary to complete the order.

What are Digital Checkouts and why did we launch them?

Selling digital products online is a huge market segment and merchants worldwide thrive on selling software licenses, online courses, eBooks, written materials, photos, presets, illustrations, online tools, music, digital art, and lots more.

When you're selling digital goods and your checkout has shipping details & options, it's a bit frustrating for the customer whether they should fill them out or try to complete the order without them. It creates distraction, lack of certainty and clarity, and generally affects the overall conversion rates.

Still, a lot of merchants selling digital products and downloads in WooCommerce started using Checkout X because of how easy it is for shoppers to complete orders and for merchants to setup even before we launched the update.

However, since this is the first time we encounter such high demand to enable merchants to sell digital products, we decided to give them a hand and optimize their checkout for their business case.

Now, Checkout X is fully optimized to enable WooCommerce stores to sell more digital products faster. One of the best parts - it's all automatic.
