## What you need to know

### How to reduce typing?

Support device autofill where suitable, use address assistance where available and avoid asking for information that is not needed. Phone and numeric fields should bring up a suitable mobile keyboard.

### What happens on a small screen?

A sticky action button can help if it never covers the current field or error. Check the page at enlarged text sizes and while the keyboard is open.

### How to spot the failure?

Compare mobile checkout starts, errors and confirmed orders with desktop, then reproduce the exact field or wallet issue. A lower mobile rate alone does not identify the cause.

### A quick store check

Complete checkout using a phone keyboard. Check field types, tap targets, error placement, summary access and return from payment.

## Frequently asked questions

### Should every control stay sticky?

No. Keep critical actions reachable without covering details, privacy information or payment controls.

### Where do I adjust mobile checkout?

Use the builder guidance, then complete real phone tests rather than relying on a narrow desktop preview.
