How many clicks to checkout is ideal for an e-commerce platform?

[King Belieal]

People in this era are very impatient and won't want to be part of an e-commerce platform that takes them through too much pages just for them to make payment for a product they want to buy online. How many clicks to checkout is ideal for an e-commerce store not to tire the potential customer out?

Yes, online retailers nowadays are trying to make the checkout process as convenient as possible. I would say 2-3 clicks are good enough.

It should not be more than four clicks and you are already checking out. More than that? And checkout is already a burden.

I believe two to three clicks should be enough, like you said people are not that patient, they easily get irritated.

One click to ad product to the cart and another click for check out, I think 2 clicks are good. If it takes more than 3 clicks there will be cart abandonment.

The ideal number of clicks to checkout for an e-commerce platform is as few as possible. Ideally, a one-click or one-tap checkout is the most desirable

Don't you think that having payment done on the platform itself would require more than three clicks?

You have spoken the truth. The modern customer does not want the hassle of going through multiple items. Click one to add to cart, click the second to complete payment. That is the best way.

If you exceed the clicks you will lose your customers in large numbers. If your neighborhood is known for its children, so your website should be fast and easy. People want to buy quickly and continue with their activities.

Don't annoy your customers by making them click repeatedly. Keep the entire process simple and straightforward. At the end of the day you will see your sales rise rapidly like water in a river. Make your business easy for everyone.
