Hi all,

Is it possible to add checkout steps dependent on an initial selection?

For example—you prompt the user to select an option such as ‘quick buy’ or ‘advanced buy.’ ‘Quick buy’ would jump to billing info, whereas ‘advanced buy’ would add steps to the checkout process to further customize the purchase details.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
