Enable a Single Page Checkout (and invoice)

By default, MemberPress uses a 2-step checkout process. Step 1 the member enters in their personal information and any custom fields you have defined. Step 2 they are asked to enter their payment information.

This 2-step process will remain the default method for the checkout experience. However, for those site owners who want to simplify their checkout experience to a single page – you now have that option as well.

Enabling Single Page Registration

To enable this option, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your website, and navigate to the Dashboard > MemberPress > Settings > Account tab.
2. Scroll down to the Registration section.
3. Check the Enable Single Page Checkout option.

4. Click Update Options to save changes.

Note: If you have caching or javascript optimization plugins on your site. You may need to flush those caches and refresh your signup page a few times in your browser after enabling the Single Page Checkout in order for the form to work correctly.

Enabling this option means the users will see the credit card input form (if using Stripe, Square, or Authorize.net) right on the first step of the checkout.

For PayPal, they will be taken directly to PayPal to pay instead of seeing the brief “Redirecting you to PayPal” message. For the Offline Gateway, they will no longer see the second step where the invoice overview is shown.

That's it! Your Membership Registration Forms will now be a single step instead of the default 2-step experience.

Supported Gateways

• Stripe
• Authorize.net
• PayPal Standard
• Square
• Offline Payment Gateway

Note: With Stripe Checkout, users will also have a single-page checkout experience on your website. Still, after submitting the registration form, they must be redirected to the Stripe-hosted page to add their card details there.

Displaying the single page checkout as an invoice

If you would like to display the checkout process as an invoice and also display taxes for the registration, then you can enable the Enable Single Page Checkout Invoice option in Dashboard > MemberPress > Settings > Account tab.

Overriding Template

This is for developers and advanced users only.

Single Page Checkout uses a different template file than the default 2-step process. The new template can be found at /memberpress/app/views/checkout/spc_form.php

If you've previously overridden the /memberpress/app/views/checkout/form.php file, this change will not affect you unless you enable the Single Page Checkout option in the MemberPress settings.
