Do you own a WooCommerce store and want to increase the number of customers? Then this tutorial is exactly for you.
The main focus of any e-commerce store is to get customers’ orders and increase sales. One of the most effective ways to get more orders can be through existing customers, as there are more chances that they will need the same previously bought items again.
Just imagine you run an online pharmacy store; it is more likely that your customers will need to regularly refill the same medicines they purchased before. If they have to search for the same items each time they want to place an order and then add those items to the cart, and then go to checkout, it will be a monotonous process. This intern will decrease the customers’ chances of returning to your website, and they will start looking for better alternatives.
If you want to turn your one-time customers into repeat customers, you should provide them with the ease to reorder the same products repeatedly without going through a series of steps.
By now, you would be wondering how I should incorporate this functionality in my WooCommerce site so that I get more customer orders. The simplest way you can achieve this is by using the plugin Swiss Knife For WooCommerce.
By adding this plugin to your WooCommerce site, you can let customers make Repeat Orders with just one click without any hazel. So, let’s dive into the process of setting up the Repeat Order feature for our e-commerce site.
Before moving on, please make sure that you have activated the WooCommerce plugin on your site.
