UI/UX Overhaul: The checkout experience is one of the most important on your store, which is why we’ve dedicated our time to continually iterating on the user interface and user experience aspects of Premium Checkout. Here are a few of the most exciting UI/UX enhancements included in this release:

One Click Checkout

• If the shopper has no edits, the only action they need to take to complete the purchase is to click the "Pay" button.

Shipping Experience

• When selecting the shipping method, the "Continue" button is disabled until no errors are present.
• If no shipping method is selected, the system will default to the least expensive shipping method.
• Cart and shipping methods are only updated when the shopper changes their address to something that affects the shipping method.

Guest Login Experience

• When an email address is entered, a message will notify the shopper if an existing account is detected.
• When a login is attempted, a message will notify the shopper if there is no account associated with the email they used.
• When too many login attempts have been used, a message will notify the shopper that they are running out of attempts before locking them out.
