After shopping in a Magento store, customers need to go through the checkout process to finish their purchases. There are several ways for that customers can enter a checkout page. They can click the Cart symbol on the upper-right corner of the store and select “Go to checkout” or press the “Go to checkout” button right on the product page (this depends on the configuration setting in the Magento 2 backend).
Once the shoppers chooses to checkout, they are browsed to a secure, encrypted page called checkout page. A padlock symbol is then displayed in the address bar of the browser, and the URL also changes from “http” to “https”.
After that, the necessary fields are displayed to gather the information of customers to complete the transaction. Customers are then led through each step of the checkout process. It is less time-consuming if a customer has already logged into his/her account at first as most of the information is automatically filled in the fields. Guest shoppers, on the other hand, have to complete the checkout process by providing necessary information to required fields.
There are two steps in the checkout process in Magento 2 store.
Step 1: Shipping
This very first step requires the customer to complete the shipping address information such as email address, customer’s name, etc…, and to choose the shipping method.
Step 2: Review & Payments
In the second step of the checkout process, a summary of the purchase like items purchased, total price, shipping address, etc… is shown for customers review. Buyers also need to choose the payment method and type the promotional codes (if available) to apply coupons to the purchase.
