Fast and Easy Checkout

[gothstone]

Thank you so much! This is amazing! I have noticed 2 small issues however. First of all, useing CSS buttons seems to break this, I can't figure out why. It causes the confirm order button to just keep refreshing the page. Secondly (and far less important) when useing the USPS optional insurance module, the page doesn't refresh when insurance is checked. It does charge it, it just doesn't update at the top.

When you make additions, add the same onClick or onChange function as in the shipping selection field. In this case, it is the updateForm() function.

For CSS buttons, you would use a similar function as in the checkout button.

You'll need to have an understanding of PHP and JAVA to make these changes. But, for the most part... monkey see, monkey do.

OK, I installed as per the readme, and now the cart simply never reaches the checkout page. When I go to checkout, it hangs.

Oh, and it doesn't matter whether it is set to off or on in the Fast and Easy Checkout Configuration.

OK, started over, deleted everything, reinstalled everything, and this time, instead of pasting in the SQL from install.sql, I used Zen to import the SQL file. It spit out the following error:

 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'true', 'false'),')' at line 1
in:
[INSERT INTO zen_configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES (NULL, 'One Page Checkout', 'FEC_ONE_PAGE', 'false', 'Activate One Page Checkout?
Default = false (includes checkout_confirmation page)', @configuration_group_id, 0, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array('true', 'false'),');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Any ideas?

Well, I no longer have the SQL error, but I am back to it hanging forever when someone clicks checkout. I am totally at a loss. Has anyone had this experience with this module?

Where's your site?

Why would you upload when it says to copy and paste the SQL file?

The SQL configuration contains a single switch for One Page Checkout, a feature of Fast and Easy Checkout. It doesn't activate or deactivate the module itself.

Do you have any conversion rate test results for this module? That is, before and after funnel abandonment numbers, etc.

thanks,

If you read the thread, you would know that FEC was being redeveloped to remove the bugs and the current versions were deactivated on the site to avoid problems for Zenners.

That said:

v1.05 FAST AND EASY CHECKOUT FOR ZEN CART

• v 1.04 15/10/2007
  • 1. Bug fix;
• v 1.041 16/10/2007
  • 1. Bug fix;
• v 1.05 23/20/2007
  • 1. Bug fix;
  • 2. Added ability to hide tpl_checkout_confirmation and display alternate text;

v1.04x were updates performed privately. Thank to Notus for developing this module along with Numinix Technology!

Here is a brief description of what the mod does now:

If one page checkout is not activated, then the module simply combines checkout_shipping and checkout_payment into a single page to increase the conversion rate for checkout_payment and reduce the number of clicks in the checkout process.

If one page checkout is activated, you have the option of hiding the text on checkout_confirmation and displaying your alternate text. The default is "Your order is being processed, please wait..." and then the customer is automatically redirected to the payment page selected on the checkout page. Remember that PayPal Express Checkout will not work unless you have added your API Signature information!

Supporting this module can be done in many ways. You can use the donation button on the Numinix Technology web page (50% of donations are forwarded to Notus so please clarify which contribution you are supporting if it is FEC in particular). The other way is to provide your conversion information from Google Analytics to this thread. You may maintain the privacy of your site by simply providing the following information:

Date 1 / Conversion Rate (Right before installing FEC)
Date 2 / Conversion Rate (i.e. one month later)

Also, any tips that can be done to alter the script to improve conversions even more (without eliminating checkout_confirmation - needed to process payments).
