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.
