My Checkout Without Account Mod

[Best Price Accessori]

Ignore previous comment.

Got it sorted

Not including the login/sign-up, the checkout can be 1-2 pages with FEC.

Easy Sign-Up is a single page sign-up with a link that goes to COWOA. So, COWOA is actually an extra click more than the regular sign-up. In reality, COWOA is a trick since the only real difference is that the customer does not input a password to create an accessible account. Simply psychological...

Hi Numinix
I finally got Easy Sign-up looking decent with login page. It shows returning customer and new customer. Somehow I lost the COWOA. I know it is psychological, but it works. How do I get COWOA back as another option? I do not see it on in admin/config/Fast and Easy Checkout Configuration. I loaded all the sql files. I am getting ready to load the new FEC v1.26. I have FEC v1.25.

Thanks, Kim

If you add a product to your cart and then go to the login page it should appear at the top of the page in split login mode. Of course, it would need to be enabled in the admin as well.

If there is no product in the cart, the COWOA option will not appear.

I added a product and then went to login page and still no COWOA. I have set to true for split login. Where in the admin area do I enable COWOA?

Admin->configuration->fast and easy checkout configuration.

Admin->configuration->fast and easy checkout configuration.

For Fast and Easy Checkout Configuration I have these as choices:

One Page Checkout true
Checkout Confirmation Alternate Text Your order is being processed, please wait...
Display Checkout in Split Column false
Gift Wrapping Module Switch false
Activate Drop Down List false
Activate Gift Message Field false
Drop Down List Options Option 1,Option 2,Option 3,Option 4,Option 5

I do not see COWOA. What is the sql file?

Thanks, Kim

I've run into the following problem: this module works by creating an account in the background when somebody checks out. If they try to COWOA again with the same email, it will create another account with a "." appended to the end of the email -- this is valid as far as SMTP is concerned so the customer will still get their confirmation email. If they try to check out a THIRD time, they get a message like this one, reported to us by one of our customers:

The access tells me first that I cannot move forward
as if I do not have an account, because it recognizes my email address. Then
the password which I thought I use was rejected. When I log in my email and
click forgot password, it tells me it does not recognize my email!!!

As it is, this module only allows somebody to COWOA twice with the same address. I would consider this buggy behavior, especially because if they come back again, they are effectively blocked from checking out. I would like to contribute some time towards a fix.

Here's what I propose:

1. when somebody enters their email and clicks the COWOA button, the code checks to see if there's already an account with that email.
2. If YES, it deletes the existing account (or should it just mangle the email address, say appending a number to it [1,2,3, etc.]?). It then proceeds as normal.
3. If NO, it proceeds as normal.

Whoever is in charge of this project, please let me know if this mod makes sense and would be a welcome addition to the project.

Cheers,
Kevin

Ok, I just read through the code and the situation is a bit worse than that (before I was going off what the notes said). In fact, a customer can only COWOA once. That whole "."" thing isn't in the code.

Something needs to be done about this. Perhaps even simpler than I was imagining before is this scenario:

1. Customer submits no_account form
2. ZenCart checks for existing customer record with that email that was created by COWOA
3. IF EXISTS: Update name, address info in CUSTOMERS table, then log them in. Currently it just craps out when the module dumbly tries to create a customer record with a duplicate email.

Any thoughts?

This is completely incorrect. I have had customers use COWOA more than 5 times and there is still no problem. You might need to reinstall it.

I have had a couple of sales of two buys but never more, I think I will enable PO module and do some shopping, and see what happens, I will get back to you, nice to see you back!
