My Checkout Without Account Mod

[tinechem]

Hi can someone help, how to enable My Checkout Without Account only mode. What I want is for customers to come directly to this mode without choosing beetwen registration or Checkout Without Account.

Hello,

I figured out how to do something that others might be interested in.

I wanted to hide the default checkout button and only show the "Check out with Paypal express" button, as this is the only payment type I will offer.

My thoughts on this were that I am automatically creating an account for the customer with paypal checkout anyway, so this could be a good way to abbreviate the process.

I haven't fully tested this, but one known issue with this idea is that if you have a "free" check out requirement, you better not do this, as Paypal will not process a "free" payment. (for obvious reasons).

So, the good news is that you can just drop this into your custom template folder (or edit the one you have there if you have done other mods.

What I did:

I edited line 132 of tpl_shopping_cart_default.php and deleted this text:

zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CHECKOUT_ALT) .

That's it. If I discover I have blown up other aspects of my check out process I will be back to post a warning, but so far it looks good!

Is there a way to integrate this with one page checkout?

I think this is a great little mod. I thought I would post a few things I would change if I had the skills.

It sends a welcome email even if the customer doesn't complete the order.

When you don't require an email salutation in the admin, the words "first name" get bumped up a few pixels so they become out of line with the text field.

Just pitching in my two cents!

It sends a welcome email even if the customer doesn't complete the order.

With this mod, your customers should not be getting a welcome email at all if they choose to checkout without creating an account. I myself have not had any welcome emails going to anyone when they choose not to create an account. Not sure why it works correctly for some and not for others.

The part about it sending an email even if they do not finish checking out has nothing to do with this mod though. That is how Zen Cart functions normally. An order does not have to be completed for a welcome email to be sent.

For some reason, I, the admin, always get a Welcome email no matter which type of checkout the customer chooses. The customer still gets the Welcome email only when they CO WITH Account. Could this be what's happening to you?

I didn't bother looking for a fix - I just turned off email notification for it. If anyone has a clue as to where to look to fix it, I would appreciate it!

I have it set up in my admin to receive a copy of all the emails sent to my customers.

I just placed a test COWA order on my site. As the admin, I received these emails:

[ACCOUNT CREATED!] Welcome to my shop
[NEW ORDER!] Order Confirmation No: 16856
[EXTRA CC ORDER info] #16856

As the customer, I received:

Order Confirmation No: 16856

On a COWA order, even though I am receiving a copy of a welcome email, the actual welcome email is not being sent to the customer.

Aha! Thank you. I thought there was something wrong with admin receiving welcome emails no matter what. I'm glad to know that it's working the way it should. I was getting sick of deleting all those welcome emails, so I just turned it off in admin. All is good.

Has anyone experienced a disappearing Header Wrapper along with its background image immediately after installing COWOA?

The main nav bar & every thing below it is unaffected.
