Guru's Checkout

Set the Checkout form options

It is possible to hide or display some fields on the checkout page according to your needs or sales strategy.

For example:

  • If you need to ensure the buyer's email is correct, you can require double email entry. When this option is enabled, the buyer must fill in two email fields during checkout.

  • If you sell to companies in Brazil, you can display the Company Name field and also accept CNPJ as an identification document.

  • If you sell a digital product and do not need the buyer's address, you can hide the address fields and simplify the purchase process.

The form options can be applied at 3 levels:

  1. Global Level: applies to the checkout of all registered products - default setting;

  2. Product Level: applies to the product in question - overrides the definitions of item 1;

  3. Offer Level: applies to the product offer in question - overrides the definitions of items 1 and 2.

In this tutorial, whenever possible, you will be guided to perform the configuration at a global level (recommended). To configure at other levels, access the Checkout tab in the product or offer registration in question.
