At the current moment, there is no way to skip the add to cart and check out process in Shopify + Sesami.
Sesami is an add-on in the Shopify eco-system and as such, we follow the same workflow as all shopify stores. However, having said that, we highly recommend the Shopify workflow due the benefits for merchants in regards to customer tracking and product reporting.
Benefits of the Shopify Ecosystem for Appointment Bookings
- Customer information is automatically saved after every booking such as name and email of your client.
- You can track your customers journey, what they purchased and when, even if it's a $0 service.
- All the data and information is contained in one system - your Shopify account.
- You can generate reports - for example, how many bookings you received over the course of the month.
- Since your Sesami appointments are created from Shopify orders, all purchase and interaction history will be logged for you to create a personalized experience. The possibilities are endless for creating reward or loyalty programs for your clients.
