Settings overview

A reference for every option in the Swift Checkout admin panel. Settings are organized across three tabs: General, Appearance, and License.

General tab

Access at Swift Checkout → General. This tab controls the checkout layout, side cart behavior, store policies, and trust badges.

Checkout

Setting	Default	Description
Enable Swift Checkout	Off	Activates the plugin checkout page. Administrators always see Swift Checkout regardless of this setting — use it to review before enabling for customers.
Show to all visitors	Off	When off, only site administrators see Swift Checkout. Turn this on when you’re ready to go live.
Show company field	Off	Adds a company name input to the billing address form. Useful for B2B stores.
Show order notes	On	Lets customers add a note to their order. Appears as a text area on the checkout page.
Show coupon field in summary	On	Adds a coupon input to the order summary sidebar. Applied discounts show inline immediately.
Checkout layout	Multi-step	Multi-step: Contact → Shipping → Payment — customers proceed one step at a time. Recommended for most stores. One-page: All fields visible at once. Faster for returning customers who complete checkout quickly.
Add order review step	Off	Adds a Review step after Payment. Customers see a full summary of items, address, and shipping method before submitting. Useful for reducing errors on high-value orders.

Side Cart

Setting	Default	Description
Enable side cart	On	Adds a sliding cart drawer accessible from all pages of your store. Customers can view items, adjust quantities, remove products, and proceed to checkout without leaving the current page.
Auto-open on add to cart	On	The cart drawer opens automatically when a product is added to the cart. Turn off if you prefer customers to continue browsing without the cart opening.
Free shipping progress bar	On	Shows a progress bar inside the cart drawer indicating how much more the customer needs to spend to qualify for free shipping. Updates live as items are added or removed. Requires a free shipping method with a minimum order amount configured in WooCommerce → Shipping → Shipping zones.

Store Policies

Enter URLs for your store’s policy pages. When a URL is provided, a link appears at the bottom of the checkout. Customers who click it see the policy page open in a modal overlay — they never leave the checkout flow.

Setting	Description
Terms & Conditions URL	URL to your Terms & Conditions page. Leave blank to hide the link.
Returns & Refunds URL	URL to your Returns & Refunds policy. Leave blank to hide the link.
Shipping Policy URL	URL to your Shipping Policy page. Leave blank to hide the link.
