# Mobile Checkout

Highest mobile drop-off point — optimize aggressively:

1. **Guest checkout default** — forced account creation kills conversions
2. **Digital wallets front and center** — Apple Pay / Google Pay reduce checkout to ~10s
3. **Max 2 steps** (ideally 1)
4. **Autofill everything** — especially `cc-number`, `cc-exp`, `cc-csc`
5. **Sticky progress indicator** + "Complete Order" CTA with price
6. **Remove distractions** — hide nav, no promos during checkout
7. **Real-time validation** — errors on blur
8. **Progress saving** — save cart on abandon, email recovery with pre-filled info
9. **Click-to-call support** visible during checkout

**Case study:** 7-step desktop checkout → 2-step mobile-optimized (guest default, large fields, Apple/Google Pay). Result: 0.8% → 2.4% conversion (200% increase).
