Fast and Easy Checkout

[coffeecanada]

After completely uninstalling the FEC module, I still couldn't get past the "login" page. Further searching brought me to: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...78#post1115678

To anyone else running into a "blank page" problem - check the /cache/ folder for a myDebug file, that should lead you in the direction of the problem.

Turns out it wasn't FEC's fault. Oh well - time to reinstall.

Hi. I hope someone here can give me some advice.

I don't really want my customers to have the option of creating an account but I can't find the way to successfully turn them off.

I have Fast and Easy Checkout installed and have turned off (ie set to False) the following

Fast and Easy Checkout
Easy Sign-Up and Login
Checkout without account

Checkout without account only is set to true.

That still gives me the option to sign in to an existing account or create a new one.

With "Checkout without account only" set to false as well, I get a "Whoops your session has expired" message.

What am I missing?

Talking about ZC 1.5.0 in both cases here, and FEC 1.10.0, just to get that out of the way.

I have a couple of questions. First, I've got FEC up and running on my dad's website (not officially live yet) and it seems to work fine, as long as you want to pay via PayPal or check/money order. I also have Checkout by Amazon installed, but it doesn't show up as a payment option. How can I add it?

Second question... I'm considering installing this on my e-commerce website as well, but I've altered significantly more files on my site than on his... including orders.php which I know is part of the FEC install, and html_header.php which I know the CSS JS Loader adds in... I keep hearing people talk about "merging" files... is this a manual process or is there some program that can magically do this and not bork everything all up? Do I have to manually go through line by line and see what's different? And wouldn't that be really hard since FEC is based on 1.3.9 code and I have 1.5.0 code? A little nudge in the right direction on how to successfully install FEC into a site that has already modified files would be most welcome.

Also on my site I have Amazon *and* Google Checkout (don't have Google on his yet because he uses Advanced Shipper and it's not compatible yet) and I want those to both show up as payment options... so again I need to know how to do that.

Lastly... I see they have an AJAX version for $75. It has some tempting features like login through Facebook... has anyone tried it? Is it worth it? I'll have to sell a lot of lip balm to pay for a $75 module... And if I were to get it, would it be better for me to hold off on the regular one and do a fresh install of the AJAX version, or can you "upgrade" from one to the other? (I think I already know the answer there, but I'm asking anyway.)

In addition to the Ajax version you will need "HighSlide" which is $25.00. This allows the customer to change shipping or billing address without leaving the "Checkout" page. I did purchase both and beleive it is worth it over time to help prevent customers giving up on their purchase by leaving the Checkout page to change their address. I also think it gives a more professional appearance.

Yes you can merge Ajax into the Free FEC, but you should use either Winmerge or Beyond Compare so you can see what files will be changed in your shopping cart files before merging.

I know we're not supposed to discuss the paid modules here, but my posts over there asking questions never get moderated/let through so they never show up, and emails to their tech support go unanswered. Can someone with a good handle on FEAC email or PM me? My installation went ok but I don't see a guest checkout option. See here: http://huckproducts.net

I have FEC installed. In the settings, I have Shipping Address set to true and Copy Billing set to true, but the Same Address for Shipping/Billing checkbox on the create account page is still unchecked. If a customer doesn't check this, they get an error saying that their first name must be more than 2 characters, because the billing information isn't being copied to the shipping information. Can anyone help me to get this box checked by default? BTW, it does appear checked in the COWOA checkout.

I think I'm going round in circles and need a bit of help.

I've installed Zencart 1.5 and the latest FEC. When I try to checkout, where I have to give the billing and shipping information, the drop down list for billing contains all my store's zones but the same list for shipping is empty. In my 1.3.9h store with FEC, both lists were there. All my searching is leading me nowhere. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,
Ok somebody probably has answered this, but I can't find it in the threads. How do you get it to select the default payment method?

I am having this same problem. If I set it to Fast & Easy Checkout "TRUE", no default payment method is selected. Then, you enter the card info & if you don't select the radio dial it gives you an error and you have to re-enter. If I set to Fast & Easy Checkout "FALSE" it works fine.

Also, In Internet Explorer only the "EASY sign-up & login" page has the login fields skewed.

I didn't have either of these problems until i updated to the 3/16 release.

I can tell you this, if the mod is installed correctly it will work. So what I would do is compare FEC to the installed files in your Zencart. If you don't find any file in a wrong folder or missing then most likely you have a file that is merged wrong and is not playing nice with FEC. Use Beyond Compare or free Winmerge.

I have said this before don't ever just upload mod files. Download your working cart files and Compare the mod files you are wanting to install to the working installed files in your zencart. You will see where there is potential problems.
