# BigCommerce
Learn how to integrate the BigCommerce extension
{`
`}
## Before You Begin
There are a few items that need to be in place before you start the integration:
### Optimized One-Page Checkout
Skipify Connected Checkout initiates with email recognition, so to ensure a seamless shopper experience, you should ensure the email field is on the top of the checkout page. We strongly recommend using the Optimized One-Page Checkout which can be enabled by doing the following:
1. Login to the [BigCommerce Control Panel](https://login.bigcommerce.com/login)
2. Click on **Settings** > **Advanced Settings** > **Checkout**
3. Select **Optimized One-Page Checkout**
> 📘 Note
>
> If you’re leveraging a Custom Checkout, the email address field must be on the top of the checkout page. You will be able to modify your layout under **Checkout Styling** > **Open Page Builder**.
### Enable Guest Checkout
Skipify’s Connected Checkout solution allows each guest to experience a frictionless checkout flow with all of the benefits of a returning customer journey. Here's how to enable guest checkout on BigCommerce:
1. Click on **Settings** > **Advanced Settings** > **Checkout**
2. Under the **Customer** heading, select *Customers are not required to have an account to check out*
3. Under the **Existing Accounts** heading, select *Allow customers with existing accounts to check out as guests*
### Set Currency to USD
At this time, Skipify only enables transactions in USD (US dollars). To set the default currency:
1. Click on **Settings** > **Setup** > **Payments**
2. Select **USD (US DOLLAR)** from the *Show payment methods for* dropdown menu
> 🚧 Important!
>
> Even if you complete transactions in other currencies, the default **MUST** be set to USD
> 👍 Best Practice
>
> Requiring a shopper's phone number is totally optional, but it will allow returning customers to have the best possible checkout experience
### Requiring a Phone Number
1. Click on **Settings** > **Advanced Settings** > **Account sign up form** and select the **Address Fields** tab
2. For **Phone Number** click **•••** under the *Action* column and select **Edit**
3. Click the checkbox next to *Yes this field is required* and click Save
## Setup Skipify Connected Checkout
Now that the requirements have been met, it's time to setup the *Best Checkout Ever!*
### Install the App
1. In your BigCommerce dashboard, click on **Apps** > **Marketplace** then click the blue **BIGCOMMERCE.COM/APPS** button
2. Type **Skipify** into the search bar and click on the tile
