How to Create a Custom WordPress Checkout Page (No Code) 

If you’ve ever lost a sale because your checkout page was slow, confusing, or missing the right payment option, you know how frustrating it is. A custom checkout page in WordPress fixes that and gives shoppers a smooth, trustworthy way to pay.

About 70% of shoppers abandon their carts before paying, according to the Baymard Institute’s running average. A checkout you control is the fix, whether you’re building a new page from scratch or customizing the WooCommerce checkout page you already have.

I’ll show you the free WooCommerce settings first. Then I’ll walk you through building a fully custom checkout page with SeedProd, in about 15 minutes, without touching code.

How to Customize the WooCommerce Checkout Page Without a Plugin

WooCommerce includes a handful of free checkout settings, and they’re worth checking before you install anything.

Here’s what you can change out of the box:

• Guest checkout: let customers pay without creating an account (WooCommerce » Settings » Accounts & Privacy)
• Coupon field: show or hide the coupon code box at checkout (WooCommerce » Settings » General)
• Checkout page: choose which page serves as your checkout (WooCommerce » Settings » Advanced » Page Setup)
• Field basics: some address fields can be toggled on or off, but adding or removing fields needs a plugin

These settings change how your checkout works, not how it looks. The layout, colors, and branding all come from your theme’s template, and WooCommerce doesn’t give you a visual editor for any of it.

In the rest of this guide, I’ll walk you through replacing the default checkout with a page you design yourself.

How to Create a Checkout Page in WordPress (No Code)

For this tutorial, we’ll use SeedProd to create a WordPress checkout page. SeedProd is the best drag-and-drop WordPress website builder, used by over 1 million websites.

With SeedProd, you can create any WordPress landing page without writing a single line of code. Its WooCommerce integration covers the rest of your store too, so you can customize your cart page and shop page the same way.

This means that instead of using the default WooCommerce one page checkout, you can create a fully customized page optimized for conversions. And before you launch, you can create a WooCommerce coming soon page to generate leads.

So if you want to create a checkout page in WordPress for beginners, here’s how to do it with SeedProd.

Step 1: Install and Activate SeedProd

The first step is to install and activate the SeedProd plugin.

If you need help with this step, follow this step-by-step guide on installing a WordPress plugin.

After activating SeedProd, go to SeedProd » Settings and enter your license key.

This information is easy to find under the Downloads section of your account on the SeedProd website.

Step 2: Create a New Page

After activating your license key, navigate to SeedProd » Pages from your WordPress dashboard. On this page, you’ll see an overview of SeedProd’s different page modes and an area to add new landing pages.

With the page modes, you can instantly:

• Create and activate a coming soon page
• Activate maintenance mode
• Make a custom 404 page
• Set up a custom WordPress login page
• Create a standalone WordPress landing page

Each mode adds functionality your site would otherwise need a separate WordPress plugin for.

For this guide, we want to create a standalone WordPress checkout page. To do that, click the Add New Landing Page button.

On the next screen, you can pick from hundreds of responsive landing page templates.

You can filter designs by clicking the tabs along the top:

• All
• Coming Soon
• Maintenance Mode
• 404 Page
• Sales
• Webinar
• Lead Squeeze
• Login

The best approach is to look for a template that closely matches the design you want. And if it isn’t a perfect fit, you can customize it in the next step without PHP, CSS, or shortcodes.

For this tutorial, we’ll use the Blank template to show you how easy it is to create your WordPress checkout page without hiring a developer.

To choose the template, hover your mouse over the thumbnail and click the orange checkmark icon.

After, a popup appears asking you to enter a name and URL for your page.

Then click the Save and Start Editing the Page button.

Step 3: Add Content to Your Checkout Page

After importing your template, it will open in SeedProd’s visual page builder and look similar to the example below.

In my GTmetrix testing, a SeedProd-built page loaded in 556ms, compared to 1,882ms for the same page built with Elementor. A faster checkout page means fewer drop-offs before payment.

You’ll see a live preview of your page on the right. And on the left is an options panel where you can choose different blocks, sections and customize your design.

Checkout Page Header

First, we’ll add a header to your checkout page so that you can keep your branding consistent across your website.

To do this, click the Sections tab in the left-hand panel and click the Header category. From there, hover your mouse over any header section and click the plus icon to add it to your page.

Next, click the image area of your new header section. Here you can upload an image from your computer or WordPress media library to use as your site’s logo.

We also recommend removing the navigation menu from your checkout page. Fewer exit routes means more completed checkouts.

To delete the navigation menu, hover your mouse over the navigation block and click the trashcan icon.

Now let’s customize the call-to-action button (CTA). Instead of sending users away from the page, you can use this button to remind users about the contents of their shopping cart.

So click the CTA button to open the settings on the left and replace the default text. In our case, we changed it to ‘View Cart.’

Then you can add the URL for your WooCommerce cart page in the Link field. If you like, you can make the link nofollow or open it in a new tab by selecting the checkbox.

WooCommerce Checkout Block

With your branding in place, it’s time to add the checkout form itself. First, drag a new Column block onto your page.

Then, go ahead and choose your preferred layout.

Next, scroll down the left-hand panel to the WooCommerce section. From there, choose the Checkout block and drag it onto your page.

Click anywhere on the Checkout block to open its settings.

The Style tab gives you precise control over how the form looks:

• Layout: a 1 or 2 column checkout form
• Header: fonts and colors for the checkout headings
• Fields: background, text, border, and label styling, plus row spacing
• Button: style (flat, 2D, vintage, ghost, or link), color, and border radius
• Alerts: highlight colors for info, error, and success messages
• Cart: borders, backgrounds, fonts, and header styling
• Payment section: background, text color, and font family

For a faster start, click the Templates tab instead. It has premade styles for your checkout fields, and one click applies them to the whole form.

Remember to click Save to store your changes.

Changing Which Fields Appear at Checkout

The Checkout block’s settings control how your form looks, not which fields it shows. WooCommerce decides the fields, so you can’t remove Company Name or reorder the form from SeedProd’s panel.

To add, remove, or reorder checkout fields, use a dedicated field editor plugin like Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce. The free version handles the basics.

One thing to watch: PHP snippets that edit checkout fields only work on the classic shortcode checkout. WooCommerce’s newer block checkout ignores those filters silently, which is why older code tutorials often stop working.

WooCommerce Popular Products

If you want to improve sales, you can add popular products to your WordPress checkout page next. This can encourage shoppers to add more items to their cart before paying.

To add popular products, choose the Best Selling Products block from the WooCommerce section and drag it onto your page.

From there, you can edit the number of columns, add pagination and adjust other settings from the drop-down menus.

Add a Headline block above the grid and change it to something like “Popular Products”. That way, shoppers know exactly what they’re looking at.

Reviews & Testimonials

Reviews and testimonials reassure shoppers that other people trust your products. That reassurance matters most at checkout, right when buyers get cold feet.

You can add them with SeedProd. Head to the Advanced blocks and drag the Testimonials block over to your checkout page.

In the settings, you can customize the block. For instance, you can add a testimonial photo or job title and even turn it into a scrolling carousel with multiple testimonials.

You can also drop a Star Rating block beneath the testimonial for extra social proof.

Trust badges work the same way. A padlock icon or money-back guarantee near the payment button is a small addition that can calm last-second doubts.

Step 4: Publish Your WordPress Checkout Page

Once you’re happy with your page, check how it looks on mobile. Most shoppers browse on their phones, so a checkout that breaks on small screens costs you sales. Make sure everything is optimized for mobile before you go live.

SeedProd has a built-in mobile preview for this. Click the mobile icon in the bottom navigation bar.

You’ll see the page as a mobile shopper would, and you can fix anything that looks cramped before it goes live.

When you’re happy with how everything looks, click the dropdown arrow next to the green Save button and click Publish to make your checkout page live.

Instead of the default WooCommerce checkout, you now have a checkout page that’s actually yours.

Step 5: Assign Your Checkout Page to WooCommerce

The final step is telling WooCommerce to use your new page. This is one setting in the WooCommerce dashboard.

Go to WooCommerce » Settings and click on the Advanced tab. Then next to the Checkout Page heading, search for the page you just made.

When you find it in the dropdown list, click it to assign it as your official checkout page. Make sure you click Save Changes at the bottom of the screen to preserve your settings.

Now, when a visitor clicks ‘Proceed to checkout,’ they’ll land on the page you just built. This works whether your store used the block or classic checkout before.

Before going live, test the checkout using WooCommerce’s built-in test mode. In WooCommerce » Settings » Payments, enable a test gateway and place a test order to confirm everything works.

If your payment methods aren’t showing on the page, that’s where to check first. SeedProd displays whatever gateways you’ve enabled there, including Stripe, PayPal, and any others you’ve activated.

FAQs About WordPress Checkout Pages

Do I need coding skills to customize a WooCommerce checkout page?

No. With SeedProd’s drag-and-drop builder, you can customize the WooCommerce checkout page without touching code. Change the layout, style the form, and add trust signals using visual controls. No PHP or CSS needed.

Can I add extra payment gateways to my custom checkout page?

Yes. WooCommerce supports multiple payment gateways, including Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Buy Now Pay Later options. Enable them in WooCommerce » Settings » Payments, and SeedProd will display them on your custom checkout page automatically.

How do I make WooCommerce checkout one page?

Build a page with SeedProd that includes both the Cart and Checkout blocks, then assign it as your checkout page in WooCommerce » Settings » Advanced. Shoppers see their cart, billing details, and order summary on a single page with no reloads.

Why isn’t my code working to customize the WooCommerce checkout page?

Your store is most likely using WooCommerce’s block checkout, which silently ignores PHP filters like woocommerce_checkout_fields. Either switch back to the classic shortcode checkout, or use a visual builder like SeedProd that replaces the checkout page without relying on PHP hooks.

Does SeedProd work with WooCommerce block checkout?

Yes. SeedProd builds a separate custom checkout page, and assigning it in WooCommerce settings replaces whichever checkout type was active before, block or classic. You don’t need to switch WooCommerce checkout modes first.

How can I improve conversion rates on my checkout page?

Keep the form simple, offer multiple payment options, and add security badges and customer testimonials. Removing navigation menus prevents shoppers from leaving mid-checkout. SeedProd’s visual builder makes all of these adjustments without any code.

How do I test my WooCommerce checkout before going live?

Enable a test gateway in WooCommerce » Settings » Payments. Stripe and PayPal both offer sandbox modes. Place a test order to confirm the checkout page loads correctly, processes payments, and sends order confirmation emails before you go live.

Build Your Custom Checkout in WordPress

Creating a custom checkout page in WordPress is about more than design. It makes the buying process clear and fast, so more shoppers complete their orders.

With SeedProd, you can design a checkout page that matches your brand and removes distractions, without writing code. And once it’s live, you can customize your WooCommerce thank you page next to upsell or collect reviews after the sale.
