# Client purchase experience: Cart and Checkout

Your Online store is just like a traditional E-Commerce store. Clients add merchandise to a shopping cart and then proceed to checkout. The checkout process consists of 4 steps:

  1. Shopping cart
  2. Your information (checkout form)
  3. Payment
  4. Confirmation

Before the last payment step, the checkout form is presented to the client.

On the Your information step the administrator can toggle the Client switch to bypass the checkout form by making a Counter purchase. Useful when capturing the name and email address is not pertinent. They can also switch to another checkout form to capture different information.

Or, they can choose a client from their database to make a purchase on their behalf.


On the Payment step, the admin can choose another payment method. For example to take cash or allow the client to pay later.

If you have a Stripe Terminal, you can take payments by credit/debit card in person.
