Your Shop’s checkout is kind of a like the cashier at any store; it is there to guide your customers through the purchase process and in turn, help to put your commissions in your pocket. Quite some time ago we built the checkout process from scratch, and it is high-time that it was updated. Continue reading after the jump to get all the juicy detail of a new checkout which will make the process easier and more convenient for your customers.
Custom Header and Footer
In keeping with the new layout options for your Shop, you can now also customize the header and the footer of your checkout area. Choose Shop Settings > Store Layout > Header & Footer Checkout to access this option. Not only have we made it possible to insert text and links, but you can now upload your own graphics for a more personalized and customized look and feel.
Loading Graphic
During the load time between clicking the Checkout button and the actual display of the fully-loaded checkout page, a load graphic is shown. To this point, this graphic has been an animated Spreadshirt heart. Moving forward, all non-branded Shops (those with no Spreadshirt logo or any visual affiliation to Spreadshirt) will have a neutral “spinning circle” as the load graphic.
New Back Button
The previous version of the checkout used the Spreadshirt logo as the “back” function to help customers return to the Shop floor from the checkout page. Moving forward, non-branded Shops will have a “back button” as opposed to a branded Spreadshirt button. Branded Shops will continue to use the Spreadshirt logo as their back button.
We hope these changes prove helpful to you as a Spreadshirt seller, and we are most-certainly interested in your feedback. Write us! Leave a comment below about what you like or dislike regarding the new checkout changes and never hesitate to send along your wish list for future developments!

“non-branded Shops will have a “back button” as opposed to a branded Spreadshirt button. Non-branded Shops will continue to use the Spreadshirt logo as their back button.”
Should the last sentence say that “branded” shops will continue to use the Spreadshirt logo? Makes no sense as is.

Bravo to all these changes! Excellent news! These are exactly the kinds of improvements we were requesting for the checkout process. Thank you!
Now we just need resolution limitation capability for our design preview images to deter design thefts, which are currently way too easy due to the huge available preview images, and we’ll be all set!

Yes, thats good and nice… but please provide urls to all linkable items in the shop, special cart and wishlist. this is much more important for us than the checkout page. Because most of us do not put the store online until this problem is solved.
