Fast and Easy Checkout

Hi Jeff,

I found a problem with your Fast and Easy Checkout. The gift certificate function wasn't working when I typed n an applied amount. Is this a bug?

More information...

I could redeem gift certificate as well as coupon but I can't apply a small amount.

What do you mean an amount?

I can't duplicate your error on my test site. But, I did find a limitation/bug. The error messages do not display if a customer types in the wrong coupon code, it just brings the page back without a warning.

I'll look into this.

Hi Jeff,

Say if I have previously redeemed a gift certificate value of $50 and I want to use $10 on an order. I typed in $10 in the Apply Amount box under Gift Certificate and hit the Enter key. Normally this make the gift certificate component appears and hence the total becomes $10 less. But this doesn't work on your Fast and Easy checkout page.

So basically you are saying a field is missing to enter an amount?

No, the field is there. But when I type in an amount to apply the gift certificate, it just refreshed itself without decreasing the total. Does this happen to you?

I just sent myself a $50.00 gift certificate. I clicked the link in the email and it was applied to my account.

When I type in an amount during checkout, then fill out the rest of the form, it shows on the checkout confirmation that the amount has been subtracted.

Perhaps it was something I fixed in the latest edition when I corrected the error messages display...

Hi Jeff,

I just made some test orders on my website. When the checkout confirmation page was turned off, I entered a gift certificate amount, your Fast and Easy checkout page refreshed itself without a notification of the amount being applied and the gift certificate component did not display in the shopping cart. When the checkout confirmation page was turned on, same thing happened but when it got to the checkout confirmation page, the gift certificate component did appear in the shopping cart. In the order confirmation email, the gift certificate component could also be seen.

Bypassing the checkout confirmation page also has a problem because if someone checkout using bank deposit or check/money order, the payable bank details and address would not be shown to customers prior to submitting order. However, when they received order confirmation email the details are there.

Is it possible to make the gift certificate component to appear when there is no checkout confirmation page? I find the checkout confirmation page unnecessary as we can fill out all the information prior to this page.

Incidentally, I found out a minor problem. If someone forgets to choose a payment method and they hit continue to proceed to the checkout confirmation page, it doesn't display a warning asking them to choose a payment method and it shows their payment method as 2Checkout which I have disabled. How weird.

That is strange. Unfortunately, I cannot release the latest version as per the supporters request for at least a month. I will release a patched file for version 1.05 with some simple bug fixes for the warning messages. I'll have this ready in the next couple of days.
