The easy way or 0 Step Checkout in Magento

3 years ago I was faced with the making the purchase through the online store created on Magento platform. After choosing my items, I went to the checkout page (checkout), but not everything was so simple! Checkout almost repulsed the desire to buy something in this store! Still — 5 steps and a whole bunch of fields in forms. And we all know that the fewer clicks will make the customer placing the order, the more you sell, online store.

Solution


MagentoConnect there are various OnePageCheckout decisions.
For example, OneStepCheckout. View demo. Add product to cart and go to checkout. The first thing that catches the eye is the updated section of "REVIEW YOUR ORDER". What's the matter? I don't even have time to pull the mouse! As a programmer, I am concerned that when you open the page sends an ajax request.
If the user fills in First Name, Last Name, Email, Telephone, Address and in that moment realizes that he wants to buy, for example, not one, but 3 product. He goes to the cart (one click), change the number (2 click) updates the basket (3 click) and presses the "Proceed to Checkout" (4 click). A lot clicks — of course it's bad, but the disappearance of the information from the populated fields — this is too much! And the price of this extension is not the most attractive — from 245 to 590 euros!

True, there are cheap solutions, for example, Quick One Page Checkout, only$ 59. In 2 words about the fact that the author revealed all of the sections of the accordion in a standard checking out code and the user need not be pressed after each step to Continue. The decision of the worthy, but a large number of fields were left to manage their visibility can not be the problem with the disappearance of values of fields at transition to the shopping cart and update the quantity of goods purchased. Who cares — demo. Although for such a reasonable price is hard to judge the authors of this extension.

As for me, a very decent option is Gomage LightCheckout (169$). Try demo. To be honest, even nothing to complain about. The expansion really worthwhile! To change the quantity for the product on the page checking out code and then you can remove any product. The disadvantages include the UI, because when you refresh the page in the middle of the screen icon to boot, and says: "wait don't click anything, and then you never know". It is possible and correct, but annoying. The section also twitch when you update.

As you can see, these solutions are good enough, decide tasks, but are also disadvantages, sometimes even critical. And, as usually happens in such cases — if you do not find fully satisfying you have to create it yourself. Thus was born the idea 0 Step Checkout for Magento. View demo.

0 Step Checkout. Wheel or know-how?


What am I doing? Oh yeah, 0 Step Checkout provides a compact way of placing the form on the cart page. I.e., cart and checkout are on the same page. If you compare with the above listed extensions, it is most likely GoMage LightCheckout, but uses a more standard interface, not a custom. Now about the features:
the
    the
  • when you refresh the page earlier filled fields do not lose their values
  • the
  • have the ability to customize the checkout page for only one country, then it will not be displayed selection fields of country and region
  • the
  • you can customize the checkout page so that the country, region and city were in the same field with the auto-tips on the country and the region
  • the
  • supported 3D Secure verification credit cards
  • the
  • option to disable the sending of emails with confirmation of the news subscription (only if the user subscribes while checking out code)
  • the
  • option to enable/disable terms and conditions
  • the
  • the ability to automatically generate an initial password for a user or as such a take a phone number
  • the
  • entry/registration at the time of ordering procedures
  • the
  • the extension was created in accordance with the standards of the Magento programming and does not affect the classes and files in kernel system

Many addresses in Magento I have always been strained. Probably in the West and for large projects is justified, but, frankly, he never saw practical use. In this, when implementing the extension, it was decided to remove the form for billing address. Also, the extension always works only with the default address. Address of delivery and payment are always the same. If the order the user has changed address, then all changes will also be applied to its default address.

Only costs 93$. The first customers discounts, and the first 5 lucky — free provision of the extension (subject to leave a review on Magento Connect).

PS: extension is now being checked by the company Magento, in this regard, it is not yet available on the website Magento Connect. Learn more about 0 Step Checkout the link.
UPD: the initial version of the extension for more than a month working on Viland.Ua
