Simple and Easy 2 Question Create Account Page

[mc12345678]

Hi, it seems that the Checkout Without Account plugin "lets your customer checkout without having to register an account on your store," but I still want them to have to create an account... but with only email and password, not actually having to provide their full address, etc until actually checking out.

Yes let's them, meaning doesn't require them to create an account, but one can still be created... There are ways to control the flow from that point to ensure one is created. For example if paypal express is used, it can automatically create an account, and there are other ways to go. I would suggest reviewing the thread on the plugn to address your concerns with it.

Thank you for hanging in there with me on this topic. I don't mean to be creating a separate thread on COWOA, but before delving into it I want to reiterate that I want customers to create an account to checkout, but I do not want them to have to enter their complete details for account creation. The idea is to encourage more people to easily create accounts with only email/password. Full details such as address are completely discouraging for account creation in 2015.

The flow needs to be this: create account with email and password only > must login to buy something > when buying something, billing/shipping addresses during checkout.

Are they to be able to see things in the cart (store is what I mean) before creating an account? If able to see product wthout logging in, are they able to see prices?

At this time, unable to see prices, and unable to add anything to the cart without logging in. However, despite the current settings, still need customers to be able to create account with limited (email/pw) info. This gives the feeling of being part of the site, collects email, yet without overdoing it with personal info requests.

As more sites strive to build a user base, the faster the account creation the better.

That then is a totally dfferent animal. If not going to allow "seeing the store" until some form of an account is created (which in my opinion is a deterent to begin with) then there is another plugin that can minimize the account credentials needed to create an account. Thus with the store setup to see product only once logged in, then the minimal information to create an account can be controlled.

Perhaps: minimum customer account information? https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1465

This is different than what the original post suggested which was about the checkout process, not the visitation of the site authorization process...

My apologies for not getting the idea down on paper the right way, thank you so much for being patient until I could explain it

The plugin you referenced now says "ALERT: This module has been replaced by All-Products-Virtual-no-Shipping" this concerns me because I actually do need to collect shipping info.

Maybe this isn't as complicated as I am making it, what if I go to tpl_modules_create_account.php and just start removing all the fields except for email and password?

Been a while since I've mucked around wth that aspect, but n a way, yeah that is something that can be done.. Need to also consider the minimum requirements n the configuration>minimum values secton, as some/most of those fields are checked against that nformation. Otherwise search the plugns... I used the search word of logn, so may try a different word... Also, may still go to the thread for thatplugin to see if others were n the same situaton trying to do the same thing and how they handled it.
