Fast and Easy Checkout

[StockedCloset]

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

[StockedCloset]

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.

Because it didn't work the first time, when I cut and paste. It was trial and error.

Site is here:

It doesn't matter whether or not I set the Fast Easy Checkout to true or false in the config, it still hangs on me at checkout, and is still reaching for index.php?mainpage=checkout

Your site seems to timeout during the create account process so I cannot even test the checkout procedure.

Furthermore, index.php?main_page=checkout, is the correct redirect to the new fast and easy checkout. The admin configuration to turn on or off one-page checkout will have no affect on this and will merely reduce the fast and easy checkout process to only one page by removing the checkout confirmation.

To highlight this for you I will show each setting:

Normal Zen Cart Site:

Shopping Cart -> Checkout Shipping -> Checkout Payment -> Checkout Confirmation -> Checkout Success

FEC (Default = one-page off):

Shopping Cart -> Checkout -> Checkout Confirmation -> Checkout Success

FEC (one-page on):

Shopping Cart -> Checkout -> Checkout Success

What other mod's have you installed?

[StockedCloset]

Well, I have an account already, and I am able to login no problem. When I try to create a new account, as you discovered, mainpage=create_account does indeed time out now, along with mainpage=checkout.

I have installed Zen Lightbox, and User Currency, and that's about it for mods

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).
