Introducing Funnel Builder 2.4: Take Your WooCommerce Checkout Pages To A Next Level

Our WooCommerce checkout page solution continues to be the most popular and in-demand part of the entire funnel builder pack!

Hence this release, Funnel Builder version 2.4 - is a game-changer.

It makes checkouts by FunnelKit (formerly WooFunnels) even more powerful and modern.

As a WooCommerce user, who sells physical or digital products online - you're going to love every bit of this update.

Let's get started.

Feature 1: Smooth Store Checkout Flow

If you're a user of FunnelKit (formerly WooFunnels), you know that it wasn't exactly a cakewalk to create a global checkout.

You'd first have to add a funnel, import all the steps, keep the WooCommerce checkout and thank you step and after customizing those pages - mark them as global from the main settings.

Now we've made the process of building store checkouts or global checkouts highly intuitive.

All you got to do is - access 'Store Checkout' from the WordPress menu.

When you add a new checkout page here, Funnel Builder already knows that it's your new default WooCommerce checkout page!

You just have to click on 'Create Store Checkout' and start building your flow.

Click on 'Create Store Checkout'

You’ll get directed to the templates screen.

Choose your page builder and click on ‘Preview’ to select the template you want.

This store checkout funnel has three steps: Checkout page, One Click Upsell and Thank You page.

Choose the number of steps you want on your WooCommerce checkout page and import the funnel.

Next, enter the name of your store checkout funnel and hit ‘Add’.

Great! Your store checkout flow is ready.

You can now customize your checkout page design, modify the form fields, add optimizations, and more. Plus, you can do the same with your upsell and thank you page.

The process of customizing your funnels remains the same.

Once you’re done, hit the toggle on the top right to enable it.

Feature 2: Brand New Riveting Templates

The template library continues to evolve. As promised, it's an ever-expanding library.

So when you first signed up for Funnel Builder, you had a limited number of options at your disposal. But since then we've collaborated with top-notch designers to create conversion-friendly designs.

When you're using one of our templates you can be sure of leaving a great impression on the mind of your visitors.

  • New Lead Generation Funnel Templates - Incentive, Convention, Summit and Masterclass

  • New Sales Funnel Templates - Shoppe, Livewire, Courselog, BestTaste, Optic, and Hific

These templates are optimized for all types of devices and can be easily customized with different page builder tools.

Feature 3: Real-Time Email Validation

15% of emails collected on the checkout page are invalid. Capturing invalid emails means you cannot reach out to abandoned cart users, can't send order confirmation emails, build post-purchase relationships, and more.

FunnelKit checkouts always had the email validation feature. The only difference was - when you tried submitting the form, the error message popped up.

But that's not the case anymore!

Now the moment a user enters their email and clicks away from the box, an error message appears in case the email is wrong or there's a typo.

Take a look:

Feature 4: Phone Field Validation and Country Flags

Our goal is to make your WooCommerce checkout page look classy and modern. Of course, it needs to be very intuitive and functional.

Keeping that in mind, we now have a small country flag image right next to the phone input field.

You can enable the phone field country flags and validation from the 'Optimizations' tab when customizing your checkout page.

Having a small country flag next to the phone field reassures the users and auto-selects the country code for them when they select their country.

Also, the validation checks the phone field for errors or wrong inputs and immediately notifies them with a “Please enter a valid phone number” message.

Feature 5: Checkout Button Enhancements

Funnel Builder version 2.4 is packed with several checkout button enhancements to make it more appealing than ever.

Ability to add the button text and subtext

We have provided the customization feature to add or customize the text/subtext of the checkout button.

You can add any text to reassure your users of their purchase.

Feature 6: Modern Element Loaders

Your checkout should give a premium feel and seamless experience to your users.

Therefore, we have modified the element loaders on the checkout pages. All the dynamic elements on the checkout pages now load in a new, modern style. 

Earlier we had a traditional spinning wheel whenever the checkout page got loaded or users interacted with it. 

But all of it changes from now.

Feature 7: Processing Order Loader

We have introduced the processing order loader to provide you with a seamless checkout experience.

Now your users don't have to double guess if they have clicked on the 'Buy' button anymore.

They will now be able to see a visual message about their order being processed once they hit the 'Purchase' button.

Feature 8: Template Customization Options

Shouldn’t there be one section where can I manage the complete customization of the checkout page?

You GOT it 👍

We have provided some new global settings related to customizing the fonts, primary color, content color, and more on your checkout page design.

Earlier, you had to visit separate tabs to change the font and colors for different sections such as buttons, paragraphs, sections, etc.

But all this changes now with the FunnelKit Funnel Builder 2.4.

You just have to go to the checkout form widget and configure the ‘Style’ options.

Let’s say, you want to change the font of your checkout form entirely - just change the ‘Font Family’.

As you can see we have changed our font on the checkout form:

You can even change the primary colors as well as subtext colors of all the buttons on your checkout page through one single setting.
