Customize checkout settings
Your checkout settings decide how customers buy. They control whether shoppers need an account, what the bag icon opens and which payment methods appear. In Mawg3 the main options sit in Settings, then Checkout. The rest live in Payment Gateway, Tax & Currency, Notifications and the Delivery page.
Open checkout settings
- In your dashboard, go to Settings.
- Click Checkout.
- Change the options you need. They save automatically.
Customer accounts at checkout
Guest only hides account options at checkout. Optional (recommended) lets shoppers check out as guests or create an account. Required makes every shopper sign in first.
Optional and Required only work after you switch on Customer Accounts in Settings, then Customer Accounts. Optional suits most stores, because forcing an account can put off first-time buyers.
Shopping experience and cart
Product detail page: when it's on, tapping a product opens a full page with the description, options and quantity. When it's off, products go straight into the cart. Keep it on if you sell sizes or colors.
Cart page type: choose Full page or Side drawer for the bag icon in your store header. The Add to Cart button always opens the side drawer.
Order Documents: the Default print button decides which document the dark button on each order prints.
Payment methods
Open Settings, then Payment Gateway. Cash on Delivery is on by default. To take KNET and card payments online, install a gateway from the Addon Store and connect your own account. You can choose Tap, MyFatoorah, UPayments, Hesabe, Payzah or Bookeey, and Tabby adds buy now, pay later.
If you connect more than one gateway, pick a Preferred gateway to show first. Switch on Test Gateway (Sandbox) to try checkout without charging a real card, and switch it off before launch.
Tax, delivery and order emails
Settings, then Tax & Currency sets the currency customers see and whether you Charge tax at checkout.
The Delivery page controls delivery and pickup, fees, the minimum order, time slots and delivery extras.
Settings, then Notifications lets you choose which order emails customers get, such as Order confirmation and Shipping confirmation.
What customers see at checkout
Customers enter their contact details, choose delivery or pickup and add their address. In Kuwait they pick a governorate and area. Next they choose a shipping method, a delivery time and any extras. Finally they enter a discount code or gift card, pick a payment method and tap Place Order.
Test it yourself before launch. Place an order with cash on delivery or the test gateway, check the emails you receive, then cancel the order.
