Enable direct checkout with the (P) Dynamic Checkout Button element

This article will help you understand what the Dynamic checkout button is and how to implement one on your store with GemPages.

If you sell subscription-based products, then dynamic checkout is not supported. More info in this Shopify article.

What is the (P) Dynamic Checkout Button?

The Dynamic checkout button is an alternative to the Add to Cart button for a single product.

It allows customers to skip the cart step to purchase products directly.

There are two types of Dynamic checkout buttons:

Unbranded: Buttons with the "Buy it now" text. When clicked, customers are taken straight to the Checkout page.
Branded: Logos of the third-party payment providers. Shopify currently supports Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Shop Pay, and Venmo. Visit this Shopify article for more information.

The Dynamic checkout button is represented by the (P) Dynamic Checkout Button element in GemPages. The following sections will cover everything to help you use the element in GemPages.

Add the (P) Dynamic Checkout Button to your page

The (P) Dynamic Checkout Button is a child element of the Product module. Therefore, it must be nested inside a Product module to function properly.

Step 1: In GemPages Dashboard, choose a page and enter the Editor via the “Edit” button

Step 2: Open your Library, go to the Elements tab.

Step 3: Search for "dynamic" and select the element

Step 4: Hit the blue "Add element" button. Exit the Library once the (P) Dynamic Checkout Button element has been installed.

Step 5: Drag & drop a Product module onto your page. Next, drag & drop a (P) Dynamic Checkout Button inside the Product module.

*Skip this step if you already have these elements on your page.

The configurations of the (P) Dynamic Checkout Button will be available on your left sidebar. We’ll go over all the parameters in the next section.

Configure the Settings tab

The (P) Dynamic Checkout Button element’s settings are only for the Unbranded button. For the Branded button, its design will strictly follow the payment providers.

Typography

In this section, you can adjust:

Font size: Adjust in pixels using the slider or the number box

Font: You can choose from the list or upload your custom font.

Font style: Bold, Italic, or Underlined

Text Transform: Choose from the drop-down menu: None, Uppercase, Lowercase, or Capitalize.

Background Color: Enter the hex color code for your button

Text Color: Enter the hex color code for your text

Hover Options: Toggle this on to enable the hover effect. Once turned on, there will be 2 more parameters:

Alignment

Align your (P) Dynamic Checkout Button element based on 3 positions, Left, Center and Right.

Extra Class

If you know about coding and would like to further customize the element, use the Extra Class field to name a class and then refer to it later on in your CSS file.

Configure the Design tab

Next to the Settings tab is the Design tab, where you find all the tools you need to perfect your element’s appearance on the live page. Check out this article for a comprehensive look at the Design tab.

After you’ve done all the editing, it’s time to hit “Save” and “Publish” to bring your Dynamic checkout button to the front store!
