My Checkout Without Account Mod

[shocker]

Is this mod compatible with PayPal Express Checkout?

Sorry another question.

Since a shopper can shop multiple times using this mod without explicitly creating an account, can they also use a coupon designed to be used one one time for each customer, a welcome coupon for instance.

I do not use PEC, but as far as I know, this mod will not affect (effect??? I always have issues with that!) it.

A customer that uses COWOA will not receive a welcome email. But yes, a customer who COWOA will be able to use one time only coupons multiple times.

Thanks again craftzombie.
This mod will not give me the effect I want. Since it will allow shoppers to use the coupon multiple times, it will affect the way the I manage discounts.

thanks

I am testing this mod in my eshop, I did every steps according to the instruction. Everything goes well but one problem as following:

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
====================================================================

FIND:
-

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>


-

REPLACE WITH:
-

<?php if (!($_SESSION['COWOA'])) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li><?php } ?>
====================================================================

1,if i override the tpl_header.php with the page comes with this mod, the whole page was in disorder.
2,if i override the above code , page is the same as usual, no COWOA displays when customer checkout.

My zen-cart 1.38 uses Atheme Template

1,if i override the tpl_header.php with the page comes with this mod, the whole page was in disorder.

That is because the code changes were done with the standard template that comes with Zen. If you have a special template you are using, you need to make the manual changes instead of just overriding the whole file.

2,if i override the above code , page is the same as usual, no COWOA displays when customer checkout.

That code change has to do with the "My Account" link on the top of your site. COWOA should appear on the login page (when there are items in the cart) whether or not you make that code change. It has no affect on the entire COWOA, it just makes "My Account" disappear if a customer is checking out with COWOA.

Your problem lies somewhere else.

The first thing to check....

Do you have split-login turned on??
Admin>Configuration>Layout Settings>Use split-login page

If you do have split-login on, what happens when you type in:
http://www.YOURSITE.com/index.php?main_page=no_account
(replacing YOURSITE.com with your actual site name of course)

If that page does appear, your problem is probably with the login page itself, missing the correct code changes to make the COWOA section appear. Let me know what you find out. We'll get to the bottom of it!

I recently installed COWOA. I customer made a purchase using COWOA and later created an account. He now has two accounts in admin. Same email. I thought the mod was supposed to combine the account. Did I miss something here?
