CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,

....again

Just wondering if the checkout process can be shortened?

- Enter name & adress, click once.... then click again to go to step 2?
- Pick shipment, click once ... then click again to go to step 3
... you know how this continues

Is there a way to skip the second click? Customer gets a confirmation page in the end...
I'd love a forward / back buttons instead...

Thanks for any input...

i managed to put everything on one page but you have to puzzle the code from different php files and of course a few templates together.
Like that i got it down to once checking and after that getting to the confirm page on the second click.
If you are interested i can send you my files.

gunas108,

I'm interrested in the files.
Maybe I can build them in a newer version of VartMS and a preference next to it (long/short check out method to use).

Thanks in advance,

Duketown

Hi gunas108,

The lesser steps or clicks buyer has to perform to buy the better. I would be interested to see your files to shorten the buying process.

Best regards

Very true - I modified ~18 files, across a couple of modules, the get the result I wanted.

A large part of the lengthy process is that each step requires two two actions - one to confirm the entered information, then another action to move to the next step, ie., enter address information -> confirm address information -> (same page again) move to next step, which again takes another two actions, and so on.
Streamlining these would be a major benefit.

All in all, they are a very neat set of modules that perform very well.

Remember, that, like many modules, it is true, many hours of unpaid work has gone into their development and release.
Big kudos to Duketown for his work.
