I've spent the last couple of days looking for reasons as to why I'm getting bailed carts and having changed as much of my site as possible (added as many payment modules as I can, minimised escape routes, maximised site security, etc., etc.,) I looked again at the checkout page.

I feel that the page order is not quite right and I'm wondering if this has been brought up here before? I'd like to rearrange the order in which the page elements appear so that they are more logical and the most important things are displayed first:



It makes sense to me if the first thing the customer sees is payment methods and shipping choices rather than discount coupons and gift certificates.

The order that seems most logical to me is:

  • Shopping Cart Contents
  • Payment Method
  • Shipping Method
  • Billing and Shipping Address (together in one table)
  • Special Instructions
  • Gift Certificate and Discount Coupons.


So now for the golden question, where would I begin.... what file controls the order these elements are displayed in?
organize the elements in the appropriate template file. FEC uses 3 different template files for the checkout page. One main file and then one of two files for the layout of elements. You would want to edit the template file that has the word "stacked".
