BigCommerce Checkout Redirect

This article explains how to configure your BigCommerce cart to redirect to a Checkout Champ checkout.

Only follow this article if your checkout and upsell flow is finished inside of Checkout Champ and you are ready to start sending the BigCommerce customers to your Checkout Champ checkout page

If your BigCommerce storefront contains a subscription option then follow instructions here

A product SKU is required on each product in BigCommerce to redirect checkout. Products with variations must have a SKU on each variation. Products without variations must have a SKU on the product.

To redirect the BigCommerce cart to the Checkout Champ checkout page, it is required to manually set the routing on your BigCommerce cart page.
