详情介绍:
- A cart that slides in, not a page that loads. Add to cart and the drawer opens with the product, quantity controls, coupon box and running totals. One tap on Checkout takes them straight to the panel.
- Checkout in one panel. Address, delivery option, payment method, coupon and order summary on a single screen, as a side panel or a centered popup, your choice.
- Sign in the way they prefer. WhatsApp one-time code, a code sent by email, email and password for existing customers, or plain guest checkout. Turn on any mix.
- Saved addresses. A returning shopper picks a saved address instead of retyping it, and their details are remembered for next time.
- Coupon offers. A "See all offers" list so shoppers can find and apply a coupon in one tap instead of leaving to hunt for a code.
- Pay with the gateways you already use. Your existing WooCommerce payment gateways appear inside the panel, including gateways that show their own card or wallet fields. If one needs the full checkout page, flip a switch and that gateway hands off to it, with the address and delivery choice already filled in.
- Works with any theme. A floating cart button is included, or point the plugin at your theme's own cart icon and "Checkout" button with a CSS selector and it takes over from there.
- A kill switch. One toggle sends every shopper back to the native WooCommerce cart and checkout while keeping all your settings. Useful when you are troubleshooting.
- Runs on real WooCommerce objects. Cart, customer, shipping and checkout are WooCommerce's own, so every standard WooCommerce hook still fires. Developers get extra
wlec_hooks for the rest (see docs/HOOKS.md in the plugin folder). - Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), translation ready, and free of tracking. Nothing is sent anywhere until you switch on WhatsApp OTP login, and then only what that feature needs (see "External services").
- Built for stores that sell cash on delivery too. COD is labelled as such in the panel, and works with WooCommerce's own Cash on Delivery gateway or the one you choose.
- Stores where mobile shoppers are the majority, and typing on a phone is the biggest source of friction.
- Cash-on-delivery markets, where every extra step and every unverified phone number is expensive.
- Stores that want a faster checkout without rebuilding their theme or moving to a hosted checkout.
- Agencies that want one reliable, well-documented checkout upgrade to roll out across client stores.
- Buy Now button. A button next to Add to Cart that skips the cart and opens checkout for just that product.
- Upsells. "Products you may like" in the cart and checkout, from cross-sells, related products or your own hand-picked list.
- Bundle discounts. Tiered "buy more, save more" discounts that apply automatically, with a live progress bar that tells shoppers how close they are to the next tier.
- Free-shipping goal. Show shoppers how much more they need to add for free delivery.
- Prepaid discount and COD fee. Reward online payment and put a fair price on Cash on Delivery to cut returns to origin.
- Partial COD. Collect an advance online and the rest on delivery to filter out fake and failed COD orders.
- PIN code autofill. City and state filled in from the postal code, so forms are faster and cleaner.
安装:
- Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.
- Install this plugin from Plugins > Add New (search for "WALoops Express Checkout"), or upload the zip, then click Activate.
- Open Express Checkout in the admin menu. The cart drawer and checkout panel are on by default, so visit your shop and add a product to see them.
- Optional: on the General tab, pick sidebar or popup, choose where the floating cart button sits, or enter your theme's cart icon and checkout button selectors.
- Optional: on the Login tab, choose how shoppers sign in. To use WhatsApp OTP, create a free WALoops account from that tab and paste your API key.
- Optional: on the Payment Gateways tab, mark any gateway that should finish on the full WooCommerce checkout page instead of inside the panel.

常见问题:
Does this replace the WooCommerce cart and checkout pages?
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.
Do I need a WhatsApp or Meta developer account?
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.
Does it work with my payment gateway?
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 tab and shoppers who pick it will finish on the normal checkout page, with their address and delivery choice already filled in.
Does it work with my theme?
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 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.
What happens to orders and emails?
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.
Can shoppers check out without an account?
Yes. Guest checkout with just an email is one of the login options, provided WooCommerce's Allow customers to place orders without an account setting is on.
Is it safe to let shoppers log in with a code?
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.
What data does the plugin store?
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.
Is it translation ready?
Yes. Every string uses the waloops-express-checkout-for-woocommerce text domain.
Does it work with High-Performance Order Storage?
Yes. The plugin only reads and writes orders through WooCommerce's own order objects and declares compatibility with HPOS.

更新日志:
- Changed: the Checkout button under the login cards now works. It does the same as the visible card's own button (for example Continue on the Guest card), and lights up once something is typed, so shoppers who press Checkout instead of Continue still move on to the address step.
- New: "Forgot your password?" on the Log in card now opens a reset form right inside the checkout panel. It emails the store's standard password-reset link.
- Changed: clearer login wording. The Password tab is now "Log in", and the guest card asks "How would you like to checkout?" with a "Log in" link in its description.
- New: the settings screen's Save button now sits in a bar pinned to the bottom of the screen, shows "You have unsaved changes" after an edit, and warns before you leave with unsaved changes.
- New: a Custom CSS box (Settings > General > Custom CSS) for your own styles on the cart drawer, checkout panel and floating cart button. It loads after the plugin's stylesheets, so your rules win.
- Fix: the guest step's "Create an account" and marketing-emails checkboxes now show a visible tick box on every theme.
- New: the cart sidebar opens automatically on the WooCommerce Cart page (Settings > General > Checkout display, on by default).
- Fix: the floating cart button no longer shows bigger (or with a "0" count) for a moment while the page loads — its size is fixed on first paint and protected from theme button styles, the icon is now an SVG, and the item count is rendered with the page.
- Improved: the cart drawer now slides open the moment Add to cart is clicked (product page and shop grid), with a loader while the cart updates, instead of opening only after the request finished.
- New: two optional checkboxes on the guest email step, each switched on/off under Settings > Login — "Create an account with " (creates a WooCommerce customer account with the order, like the standard checkout) and "I would like to receive exclusive emails with discounts and product information" (saved on the order, passed to MailPoet, and exposed via the new
wlec_marketing_optinaction).
- Fix: the delivery address form's "State" field now shows the correct label for the store's country (e.g. "Province" for South Africa), matching native WooCommerce checkout.
- Fix: the new "Already have an account? Log in" link no longer drops to its own line under some themes.
- New: on the guest-checkout email step, an "Already have an account? Log in" link switches to email + password sign-in (shown only when that login method is enabled).
- Fix (Pro): postal code / address autofill no longer requires a WhatsApp OTP API key — it now authenticates with your Pro license directly.
- Fix: the collapsed Order Summary card in checkout now shows the up-to-date total after a delivery or payment change.
- The coupon box is now hidden automatically when WooCommerce's "Enable coupons" setting is off.
- New: when delivery options are grouped (for example Ship and Local Pickup), the groups show as tabs, with one full-width option per row.
- Internal: no functional change to the free plugin.
- New: a loader on the cart drawer rows while a quantity change or removal is being saved.
- New: hooks to remove the coupon box entirely (
wlec_hide_coupon_box) or hide coupon codes (wlec_hide_coupon_codes).
- Fix: the tax line and each payment method's price now update when the delivery address or delivery option changes.
- Fix: the delivery and payment requests no longer run in parallel, so the payment list is priced for the new address.
- First release on WordPress.org.
- Slide-in cart drawer and popup-or-sidebar express checkout.
- Login by WhatsApp OTP, email code, email and password, or guest checkout.
- Saved addresses, delivery option and payment method selection.
- Coupon offers and trust badges.
- Per-gateway fallback to the full WooCommerce checkout page.
- HPOS compatible, translation ready, personal data export and erasure support.
