One-Page Checkout [Support Thread]

jrcook416:

Has anyone had success changing the default template to add something like a Bootstrap Select object?

There's a 'binder' plugin that enables the Bootstrap-4 template to use One-Page-Checkout (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2305), if that's what you're asking.

Note that this 'binder' will be part of the next major release of the Bootstrap-4 template.

Hi, thanks for the quick response :-)

I'm trying to add a dynamically created select box element (a Bootstrap select selectpicker) to the address block. Specifically, I have a list of discrete, pre-determined suburbs for my end-users to pick from. The suburb will populate into the select, along with the list of suburbs on the initial load, but when I go to change and select another suburb and update the address, I can't get the changed value to be passed back and saved to the $_SESSION['opc'] object.

Any direction you could provide would be helpful! Thank you!

Your best bet (I think?) will be a combination of a jQuery module plus an associated AJAX class where the AJAX-accessed PHP module does the suburb look-up and sends the results down via JSON for use by the jQuery module.

I am in the process of building a new website. I am looking for a Guest checkout.

I have used Fast and easy checkout in the past and it does work as advertised.

I noticed this plugin one-page checkout includes a guest checkout.
Though it seems as if there are way too many steps in the process. I never seen a checkout page that has “save” to go to the next step. In my opinion customer will abandon the cart if they have to press save on each step. Is there an alternative plugin that can do guest checkout the correct way without having to save to go to the next step.

If you are speaking of the Save Changes button on the /index.php?main_page=checkout_one page when checking out, perhaps you might want to think of the Save Changes button as Insert Info instead.

Of course, you can change the button to whatever you wish but, regardless of the button's name, you have to get the individual's information in the system in order to process the sale.

I can't think of any cart that doesn't collect the three items needed; billing, shipping, payment method. OPC does that. And all without leaving the page.

I don't believe you can find a better product. You especially will not find one better documented or maintained.

We (myZenCartHost.com) would not create, update, or modify a site without making sure OPC was included.:bigups:

dbltoe,

I get what you are saying. you mentioned "think of the Save Changes button as Insert Info instead."
My opinion I think its way to many steps and confusing at the same time.

Hopefully in the near future zencart can come out with a real guest checkout that has the correct flow. I read somewhere that it will be released in the 2.0 versions in the near future

Clicking save or insert is just going to confuse the customer and they will abandon the cart.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a plugin that is available where the flow is a true guest checkout. I really don't want to switch platforms but my customer is insisting he have the guest checkout.

You keep speaking generalities.> Hopefully in the near future zencart can come out with a real guest checkout that has the correct flowWould you be so kind as to present us with a working example of what you are talking about?

Can you show us a cart where someone does not have to click on a button or hit enter to perform the steps of OPC?

Just a quick question.

OPC installed and coupons set to one use per customer - this fails for guest checkout because of the way all guest customers have the same ID. Obviously, I can edit the code of the coupons module to check email address rather than customer_id but is there a more graceful solution?

Just a thought.

Perhaps changing Enable Account Registration? to True versus False?

I think it might be the "one page" that is throwing me off. If it were in separate pages it might have a better flow.

:huh:
If that's the case, no need to add the mod. ZC already does a three-page checkout without the mod.

But it does not have the guest checkout option. So the mod with be necessary. Correct me if I am wrong...

You are correct. Only with OPC and, as the name implys, it will all happen on one page.

It's been proven many times that using just one page to check out is far more a customer favorite than the three-page system.

dbtoe,

I played around with OPC on a local host. After reading and making some minor adjustment got to be honest this works great. Sometimes I need to read a little bit before I make a comment.

There was just a slight indication there that you hadn't loaded it yet.:P I kept looking around for Allen Funt and the cameras.:D

Zencart 1.5.7c
OPC: v2.4.3

I am just testing out the opc. I did notice one thing and was wondering if there was a way to fix this.

When you go to the guest checkout ?main_page=checkout_one you see shipping address checkbox grey out on the bottom.

Is there a way I can align up billing/shipping address and on the left side and have the shipping address checkbox on the right side instead of having it in rows. If you click it then I want the shipping address to show up on the right. This way the billing and shipping are save in one spot

Is this possible?

In the image is what i need it to look like. Is this possiblre with this module?

I am not sure if I move the Shipping Address, Same as Billing checkbox to the top will it effect the rest of the process.

if the customer has a different shipping address than click save based on my example will that work?

The main reason I need to do this is because when you get to the checkout page as a guest.
I am seeing the billing address as the shipping rate.

If the customer has a different shipping address, you have to put it in on the next page
Is it possible to add the shipping address info in before getting to the checkout page and see correct shipping rates.
My great drawing is an example of what I am trying to accomplish.

Any ideas of suggestions would be great

What are your settings for Configuration >> One-Page Checkout Settings >> Enable Shipping=Billing?

That will make a difference in the look as well.

Enable Shipping=Billing? Is set to true
It’s a great feature but I just need the customer to have the option on that page to add a shipping address before clicking on save changes.

FYI (Enable Shipping=Billing) no changes on my end except it shows hide elements based on what option i choose.
