A checkout for Craft Commerce, with its copy and settings managed from the control panel.
- Give your store a complete checkout (email, address, shipping, billing, payment and confirmation) at paths you choose, as separate steps or one page, with an optional cart to match.
- Edit checkout copy on production, per site or per language, without creating custom fields.
- Set branding, line items, gateways, addresses and features on control panel screens, or pin any setting in a
foster-checkout.phpconfig file. - Ask customers for details the checkout does not collect (a purchase order number, for example) at five points in the flow.
- Skip the shipping address and method for services and other products that do not ship.
- Offer your store location as a pickup address.
- Catch mistyped addresses and email domains before the order is placed.
- The storefront needs a checkout, and has no templates for it yet. The cart can be the plugin's or your own.
- Checkout wording has to change on production, where admin changes are disabled.
- The store runs more than one site or language, and each needs its own checkout copy.
- The catalog mixes shippable products with services that need no shipping address.
- An order needs details Commerce does not collect, such as a purchase order number.

composer require fostercommerce/craft-foster-checkout
./craft plugin/install foster-checkoutFor the full guide, see installation.
Once installed, the store has a checkout at the path you choose: contact, shipping address, shipping method, billing, payment and confirmation. Use the plugin's cart, or turn off Use the built-in cart template at Checkout -> General and keep your own. Set the brand color, font, logo and component style at Checkout -> Appearance.
See getting started.
Run the checkout as one page instead of separate steps. The cart saves as the customer types. Every other setting applies to both layouts, so a store can switch without reconfiguring anything.
See single-page checkout.
Edit the note on each step, payment method notes, the newsletter label and the footer links at Checkout -> Notes & Links. The copy stays editable on production, because the plugin stores it in its own database table instead of project config. On a multi-site install, copy varies per site or per language, following the content translation method.
Each note is rendered as a Twig template, so copy can reference the cart or the order. For the same reason, the Edit checkout content permission lets a user run code on the server.
See notes and links.
Rules rewrite what a cart line shows for an option a customer chose, so a stored giftWrap: 1 reads as Gift wrap: Yes. Each rule pairs a condition on the option's name or value with a replacement name, a replacement value, or both.
Values stay as the customer typed them unless a rule sets one. Long values can be cut short, and the SKU and stock count can each be hidden.
See line items.
Ask a customer for anything the checkout does not collect, such as a purchase order number, and choose where it appears. Five positions across the checkout each hold a field layout, and a field added to one is shown at that point. A layout field has to exist on the order first.
See checkout fields.
Add your own fields to the address form, and choose which fields are hidden or required, starting from Craft's address field layout. Set the country a new address starts on and the countries listed first.
To catch a bad address before it reaches fulfillment, Avalara returns a corrected address the customer can accept, or Google Places and Loqate suggest addresses as the customer types. Each needs its own account and key.
See address fields.
Mark services, training seats and other unshippable products with a product condition. A cart holding only those skips the shipping address and method on both layouts. Commerce and shipping plugins treat their variants as not shippable, so a mixed cart is rated on what ships.
See products that don’t require shipping.
Offer the store location as a shipping address choice, so a customer can collect an order. A pickup order ships to your own address, which a free shipping method can match by zone.
See customer pickup.
