Hi Traian, they do, but not the Ajax one page checkout. At the time of writing I was looking at ajax one page checkouts, as one page checkout similar to cafepress.com wasn’t in use yet. I talked to Jeffrey Eisenberg recently about cafepress.com checkout, as he worked on it and it performed better than multiple step checkout. But if you noticed, they didn’t use Ajax one page checkout. If you were to use one page checkout, then test cafepress.com style checkout, and avoid using Ajax one page checkoout, which for some reason is so loved by Magento users.

another idea you could test is one page but non-ajax checkout vs. your current ajax one page checkout vs. multistep checkout

Hmmm, I have always thought one page checkout was the way to go. I have been doing it for years, now I am tempted to test multi page checkout for a month or so.

I just switched from 1 page (recommended by my shopping cart provider) to multiple page. The multiple page checkout when I tried it, has a more professional look to it. I will give it 30 days and then compare abandonment rates.
