Quite some time ago we built the checkout process from scratch, and it is high-time that it was updated.<\/p>\n<p>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.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Custom Header and Footer<\/h2>\n<p>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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spreadshirt.com\/-C8796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Shop Settings &gt; Store Layout &gt; Header &amp; Footer Checkout<\/em><\/a> to access this option. Not only have we made it possible to insert text and links, but you can now upload your own <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spreadshirt.com\/graphics-C2519\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">graphics<\/a> for a more personalized and customized look and feel.<\/p>\n<h2>Loading Graphic<\/h2>\n<p>During the load time between clicking the <em>Checkout<\/em> button and the actual display of the fully-loaded checkout page, a load graphic is shown. Moving forward, all non-branded Shops (those with no Spreadshirt logo or any visual affiliation to Spreadshirt) will have a neutral \u201cspinning circle\u201d as the load graphic.<\/p>\n<h2>New Back<em>\u00a0<\/em>Button<\/h2>\n<p>The previous version of the checkout used the Spreadshirt logo as the \u201cback\u201d function to help customers return to the Shop floor from the checkout page. Moving forward, non-branded Shops will have a \u201cback button\u201d as opposed to a branded Spreadshirt button. Branded Shops will continue to use the Spreadshirt logo as their back button.<\/p>\n<p><em>We hope these changes prove helpful to you as a Spreadshirt seller, and we are most-certainly interested in your feedback.
