Hyvä Checkout for Magento and Adobe Commerce.

Fewer steps and fewer fields between the basket and the order.

Hyvä Checkout is Hyvä's own checkout for Magento Open Source, Adobe Commerce and Mage-OS stores on the Hyvä theme, fitted in place of Magento's default. For merchants who see shoppers leave at the checkout and want fewer steps, address lookup and a page that responds as it is filled. It is the best checkout Magento has had, and we fit it as a Hyvä Silver Partner.

Where are your shoppers leaving?

What merchants see in their analytics before they ask us about the checkout.

  • People get as far as the checkout and then just leave.

    What it usually means

    The Baymard Institute puts the documented average at 70.22%. Some of it is browsing; some is the checkout itself, and that part can be fixed.

  • Our checkout asks for an account before people can pay.

    What it usually means

    In Baymard's survey, 18% of US shoppers who abandoned an order said the site wanted them to create an account. Guest checkout first.

  • On a phone, typing the address seems to take forever.

    What it usually means

    Seven fields, each a chance to give up. Postcode lookup fills them from one, and only the fields your couriers need remain.

What fitting Hyvä Checkout includes.

Six parts, each in the written plan, from reading your funnel to measuring the result.

  • A read of your checkout funnel

    Where shoppers leave now, on which device and at which field, read before anything is designed.

  • Layout and steps to your rules

    One page or a short sequence, only the fields your rules need, styled to your Hyvä theme.

  • Payment and shipping, tested

    Your providers connected and every method, rule and tax case exercised on staging.

  • Address lookup and the small frictions

    Postcode lookup, sensible defaults, inline validation and errors a shopper can act on.

  • Guest checkout by default

    An account offered after the order, not demanded before it, configured to your policy.

  • Measured before and after

    The same funnel read again after the deployment, in writing. No figure promised in advance.

The same store, with and without us.

Without us
  • A checkout that reloads after many changes
  • An account demanded before payment
  • Seven address fields typed on a phone
  • Delivery cost revealed only at the last step
  • Errors shown as a red border and nothing else
  • No measurement of what changed
With Refined Commerce
  • A checkout that responds in the browser as it is filled
  • Guest checkout first, an account offered afterwards
  • Postcode lookup filling the address from one field
  • Delivery cost and dates shown early
  • Inline validation that explains itself
  • The funnel read before and after, in writing

Account management, or the first look at your store.

Priced as a project, decided by your providers and rules.

The payment and shipping providers, tax and account rules and any B2B modules decide the work, so we examine the store first and then give you a written plan and estimate. Hyvä Checkout itself is licensed from Hyvä; we arrange the licence for you and show it separately. Later changes can be ad hoc, itemised on a monthly invoice, or part of a retainer.

  • Each provider's compatibility listed before you commit
  • Default checkout kept ready to switch back to
  • Estimated with a Luma to Hyvä migration or on its own
What happens first
  1. We list every payment and shipping method the store offers today.
  2. Each is checked for a Hyvä Checkout compatibility module.
  3. You get a written note of any provider that needs work, before the full plan.

About Refined Commerce
  • 2020

    Working with Hyvä since its first year

    We adopted Hyvä when it launched and have built on it ever since. It is now the only frontend we build new Magento stores on.

  • Silver

    Hyvä Silver Partner

    Recognised by Hyvä for the stores we have delivered, with direct access to Hyvä's own team when a project needs it.

    Fast for real customers, not only in a test

    The main content of a Hyvä store on our case pages loads in 1.1 seconds on a phone, measured by Google on real visits.

Questions merchants ask about this.

Do we need the Hyvä theme before Hyvä Checkout?

Yes. Hyvä Checkout is built for stores using the Hyvä theme and shares its stack. If you are on Luma, the migration comes first, and Hyvä keeps Magento's default checkout working in the meantime through a compatibility layer, so the two can be done together or in sequence.

Will our payment provider work with it?

Hyvä Checkout has compatibility modules for many payment and shipping providers, some from Hyvä and some from the providers. We check yours before we estimate. Where a provider has no module, we write the integration or, if the provider is the problem, say so. Every payment method is tested end to end on staging before anything is deployed.

Will it reduce abandoned baskets?

That is the aim, and the honest answer is that we measure rather than promise. Fewer steps, fewer fields, address lookup and a page that responds instantly remove reasons shoppers give for leaving, but the size of the effect depends on where your shoppers leave now. We read your funnel before and after, and will not give you a figure we have not measured on your store.

Can we keep Magento's default checkout instead?

Yes. Hyvä includes a compatibility layer that keeps the default checkout working on a Hyvä store, and some merchants stay on it. It is slower and harder to change than the rest of a Hyvä store, which is why most move eventually, but there is no obligation and we will tell you if the default is good enough.

Is it one page or several steps?

Either, and the choice is yours after we have looked at your funnel. Hyvä Checkout can be laid out as a single page or as a short sequence of steps, with fields, order and layout configured rather than hard-coded. We usually recommend the fewest steps your shipping and payment rules allow.

What about guest checkout, accounts and B2B?

Guest checkout, account creation and logged-in checkout are all supported and configured to your policy. Company accounts, purchase orders and other B2B flows depend on the modules your store uses, so we check each one for Hyvä Checkout compatibility and list it in the plan.
