If anyone wants to try out the checkout system, you can download it here: www.dreamofrussia.com/checkoutsystem.zip

Test it thoroughly before going live

I have created a test site where I have removed the login/create account features. Check it out:

I will post full instructions for how to do all of it, including template changes, after xmas when I am not too busy with orders. See ya! - April aka craftzombie

That's weird, I just tried it and its working fine for me. You do not go to the shopping cart after you add something. It appears in the shopping cart sidebox. Forgive me if this is a stupid question to ask a fellow Zenner, but did you miss that part? I'd appreciate any feedback you have, so if you don't mind trying one more time, that would be wonderful. Thanks!!

P.S. If that was the case and you just missed it, I will change it so that it does go to the shopping cart. I was trying to create less clicks for the customer, but I don't want them to get confused.

I also had one person test it yesterday and they appeared to successfully checkout. If you were that person and you had any issues or even if everything was fantastic, please let me know.

The only think I still need to fix is the removal of the "detailed invoice" link in the order confirmation email.

Another test site I am working on has the login set up strictly for wholesale customers. I am just doing some template changes to that right now, but it seems to be working. I'll post it when I'm finished.

I think the comment might have been made because clicking on the shopping cart link in the upper right menu wipes the cart clean and starts over.

I haven't had this problem. I just tested it again and still no problem. I'll look into this, but if anybody has a clue as to why this would happen, please share. I don't understand how going to the same shopping cart page as usual would wipe out the cart contents.

After reading some other threads, I found out that when you are creating your own template, there are instances where you cannot just put a link to a certain page and expect it to work correctly. So if this is why it was wiping out the cart, then perhaps clicking on the shopping cart sidebox header would work better than the link I provided on the top right - hopefully! Please give that a try if you've got the time and see if that prevents the cart from wiping out. I personally still have no problem clicking the link on the top. I don't know much about cookies, sessions, etc. so I'll have to read up on that.

This is only a test site and I am not currently using this on my own site. My goal here is to learn more about how Zen functions while trying to help you guys at the same time. I know this is a popular request and I am no Zen genius. I'm just figuring it all out like the rest of you.

Clicking the sidebox header does work. Clicking the link in the upper menu goes to a page that says the cart is empty even when a product appeared in the cart sidebox prior to the click.

Thanks for trying again! I'll just remove the bad link and put a link on my shopping cart sidebox header image, that way it will be obvious that the header is clickable. That bad link was kind of redundant anyway, but I was trying to give people more than one shopping cart link.
