Hi. I am trying to create a checkout process whereby the customer does not have to input username and password (joomla login). Instead, they would enter only their name and email, and the account will automatically created. Acymailing will allow them to subscribe to a newsletter, but I wish it from that point to go straight to a checkout of the item. Can you give me some direction on this?

You can set the option "registration" to "simplified registration" in the config under the display (only in the commercial versions of HikaShop). That will do exactly what you want: remove the username and password fields and create the user automatically in joomla based on the email provided.
You can use the subscribe on registration plugin of acymailing to add a checkbox on the registration page (it's compatible with HikaShop):

Nicholas, I'm thinking about the flow of decision making again. Some customers are curious, and may want to see the offer before making a buying decision, but we would still like a way to capture their name and email because of their interest in our product.

You have helped me to either:

    Simplify the registration process (I will be purchasing a commercial license today)
    Have the new customer enroll in acymailing

My inclination would be to go with option 1 - simplified registration. However, I would like the customer to be required to input their name and email FIRST before going to the checkout screen. Can this be done with simplified registration, or will I need to go with subscription to acymailing?

Thank you in advance :)

I'm not sure I understand you.

You can have your new customers subscribe to acymailing newsletters on the checkout (simplified or not) and still have the acymailing subscription module displayed on your website so that people who don't buy any product can still easily subscribe to your newsletters.

My understanding of the flow of the checkout is: the customer sees a product they want, then they click "add to cart". After that, a checkout screen pops up the asks them to input their name and email, a list of what they are purchasing, and then payment info.

What would like is before the customer clicks "add to cart", they input their name and email, then press "add to cart".

That's not possible to do that with hikashop. The name and email is asked on the checkout. They click on the "add to cart" button and they are redirected to the checkout where they can enter their information and finish the order.

I notice also that using the acymailing subscription module does not automatically add the name to the checkout process, at least with the default setup.

atakick.com/newatakicksite/index.php?opt...2:module-1&Itemid=17

This will take me to the Do hicky product page, but checkout does not include the previously input name and email from the subscription module.

Yes. AcyMailing subscription and hikashop registration screen are two different things and the aren't connected.
It's the same for any registration screen... When you subscribe to acymailing, if you go to the joomla registration page or any other component's registration page, the name and email entered in acymailing won't be used.

is it possible to automatically add the name and email, after it was input with the acymailing module?

The short answer is: no.
The long answer is: yes, if you modify the code for that. You could create a system plugin which would be fired after joomla's initialization on each page and look in the POST for the email and name of the user and then save them in the session. Then, you could edit the file registration of the view user in hikashop to set the fields with that information if the user is not logged in. So it's possible, but require some PHP knowledge.
