Shopping & Checkout

This guide covers the full shopping journey — from adding a product to the cart all the way through to seeing the order confirmation.

Adding to cart

Customers can add products to their cart from any product page. They select the variant they want (size, colour, etc.), choose a quantity, and click Add to Cart.

Here is something worth knowing: the cart works for guests too. A visitor does not need to be logged in to browse and add items. They only need an account when they proceed to checkout.

The cart page

The cart is at https://byndio.in/cart. It shows everything the customer has added, grouped by seller. For each item, they can:

• Update the quantity — Increase or decrease using the quantity controls.
• Remove the item — Click the remove button to take it out of the cart.

Below the item list, there are two optional fields:

• Coupon code — If the customer has a discount code, they enter it here and click Apply. The discount is reflected in the total immediately.
• Reward points — If the customer has earned loyalty points, they can choose to redeem them here for a discount on the order total.

The cart shows a running summary: subtotal, any discounts, estimated tax, and the grand total.

Checkout

When the customer clicks Proceed to Checkout, they are taken to https://byndio.in/checkout. This page has two main steps:

1. Delivery address

The customer selects a saved address or adds a new one. If they only have one address on file, it is pre-selected. The address includes name, phone, street, city, state, postcode, and country.

2. Payment method

The customer chooses how to pay. The available methods depend on what you have enabled in the admin settings:

• Stripe — Card payment processed through Stripe.
• Razorpay — Opens the Razorpay payment modal with multiple sub-options:
  • UPI
  • Credit/Debit Card
  • Net Banking
  • Wallet (Razorpay-supported wallets)

Once the address and payment method are selected, the customer reviews the order summary and clicks Place Order.

Payment processing

After clicking Place Order, the customer is taken to a payment processing page. This is where the payment gateway handles the transaction. The customer should not close the browser during this step.

If the payment succeeds, they move to the success page. If it fails, they are shown an error and can try again.

Order success

Once the payment goes through, the customer sees the order confirmation page. It shows:

• Order number — A unique reference they can use to track the order.
• Order summary — What they bought and how much they paid.
• Next steps — A message letting them know the seller will confirm and ship the order, along with a link to view the order in their account.

From here, the order enters the fulfilment process on the seller’s side.
