What does it do?
Do you need a one-page checkout to simplify checkout process? And make everything easier for customers and let them see all the steps in one glance?
Or not a single page, but some simplification might not be bad? How about categorizing the purchasing steps into different sections? Sections that you can reorder them as you want?
For example, you want 3 section in your one-page checkout (Picture below):
- Section one includes 2 steps: Billing address and Shipping address
- Section two includes Shipping method and Payment method
- The last section includes Payment information and Confirm
Do you want to have the shopping cart as a page, or as a step?
Or maybe you want to show all the purchasing steps in 1 view, without tabs, some thing like the picture below, in a neat and organized way:
