1-click checkout without login in version 3.0

-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0.0 20jan2017
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5
-- PHP version -- : 7.0
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : all
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : none

Hi
I have been playing around with the new HikaShop 3.0 and the one thing I was really looking forward to in this version was 1-click checkout without login (1 page). But it seems that this is still not possible?
Did this not come to this version and/or where do I find documentation on this?

Henrik

Hi Jerome
I'm not sure I understand your answer. Sorry, but I'm a bit frustrated about the 3.0 upgrade
I was really, really looking forward to this Hikashop 3.0 upgrade. First of all because I thought that "1-click checkout" was coming to 3.0. But to me it does not seem to work the way I would have imagined. As we have talked about one of the things that is important to a successful online business are among others the shopping cart experience .

• I don't want to force people to sign up
• I would like customers to checkout as guests as default. This without being an extra step where you need to fill email (Don’t ask for unnecessary information in unnecessary steps, just because you are not logged in. E-mail could be part of customer fill of address, etc.)
• I would like all information in 1 place. Here, there could be a link to "Already a customer? Login here". Otherwise just continue filling all necessary informations, address including email and phone, etc. and select payment and shipping method.

If this is not possible, can I then do 3 step process as in ToobyDoo?

Please add the "login" block in your checkout workflow and configure the corresponding settings :

Done!

The block "login" allow to perform the login and the registration, including the guest checkout.

And I looked in the documentation:

If you choose the "Selector" mode, you will have on the left of the view a radio for each element (login, registration, guest checkout) that you activated and the element selected will display on the right side of the screen.

Done!



I don't have Guest Checkout, only Login and Registration.


If just "Guest Checkout" was there, I think I see and understand now. I need to do a bit of overriding and styling, but I think I can get there. But it seems to me that I still is missing this 3rd option: Guest Checkout?

This is from my local, not my live server. Right now I'm trying go get it all working in 3.0 before I change and upgrade my server.

Hi Jerome

This is my configuration:

This is what I'm trying to achieve:




I know I need to do some view override and maybe I need to do a lot of editing to achieve this. But I'm not even sure that I can achieve this in 3.0?

With my current configuration I see 4 steps, even though I try to achieve a 2 steps checkout. I know 2 of the steps are very small, but to many Users and in my opinion they are a bit unnecessary. Let me explain:

Step1 (Cart/Login):
Choose between Login or Guest. If you are just guest and want fast shopping and avoid registration or don't have login, then in this screen you need to type in your e-mail address.

Step2 (Cart/Login):
After typing in your email as Guest you end up still at Cart screen. You now have to click Continue.

Step3 (Address/Payment/Shipping/TOS):
You now have to type in your buyer information's like Address, except the E-mail. But you have to submit this, why? And why is e-mail not a basic part of name, address, phone, email?

Step4 (Address/Payment/Shipping/TOS):
You now have submitted your address and end up on same page and can continue with choosing Payment and Shipping, and finally accept TOS. Then click Pay Now! and get redirected to payment gateway.

I hope you can show me that I'm wrong and simply don't understand how to set it up. But trust me! I'm really trying to get my head into this! But I'm afraid that my expectations to 3.0 and trying to achieve a 1step simple or at least a 2 step checkout is not achievable.

Hi Philip

Thank you for your answer! I see your point, we are getting closer to what I'm trying to achieve in 3.0 checkout. But it's not what I have hoped for in 3.0 1-click checkout. It seems that I can achieve what I'm looking for, but I need some customization.
The checkout and registration process is very important to a website and a shop and don't get me wrong here! I love Hikashop and Hikamarket!! No question about that! I just find the registration and checkout process a bit too complex and a bit asking too many unnecessary informations.

With the configuration example you give here I can see your point at with some customization I think and hope I can achieve a good 1-click checkout process for Guests. With Ask address on registration set to Yes the Guest needs to type name and address, this will work in this situation. Only problem is that this means also that my Vendors when they register has to type in the address and I don't want that. Let me explain why. If you look at Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn registration process they are all very simple and ask for a very few informations. Often just Name, Email and password. Nothing about address and nothing about re-typing password twice and nothing about typing both a username or a name or a email, all these can be used for account name. I know some of this is about how Joomla works. This is why I had set the Ask address on registration set to No to keep the registration process for my very important members the Vendors as simple as possible. This means I need to do some customization in this situation too.

Lets close this topic here. I need to get back and do some customization and I guess that you also has something that needs to be coded in Hikashop and Hikamarket
Thank you for all your answers! It made me wiser on Hikashop

Henrik
