Hi,

I have a selector in my checkout (Login, Resitration, Guest). In Guest mode I fill all the detail out and hit the next button under the address form and nothing happens. Should this button read "Next" or "Register"?

Can you let me know why this button is non responsive?

Hi,

The system doesn't see the user as being added and loaded in session and thus displays back the form.
Do you see a user entrey being added for that email address in the Customers listing in the backend of HikaShop ?
Do you have some kind of custom plugin for HikaShop or third party extensions integrated with HikaShop ? If so, which ones ?

Hi,

There is no user added in the customer listing. I have a number of 3rd party plugins
- Square Up Payments
- Afterpay
- ZipMoney
- TNT Shipping

Hi,

I guess e would need a backend and FTP access to be able to look into it as we'll probably have to debug the validate function of the administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/checkout/login.php file and maybe also the register function of the administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/user.php file.
You can provide that along with a link to this thread via our contact form:

Hi,

We only got the backend access. Could you also provide the FTP access please ?

Hi,

I found the issue.
It would have helped if you could have told us that you had the error message "You cannot proceed to a guest checkout as some of the products in your cart require a registration to our website. Please register an account or remove these products from your cart in order to proceed." when you tried to use the "next" button at the bottom of the page. Because, basically, the "next" button of the guest form has the same behavior (it doesn't let you proceed because you have a product that cannot be bought by guest users), but it doesn't catch the error message from the user group after purchase plugin properly.
So I had to do a lot of debugging to understand that it was coming from the "user group after purchase". And once I did, I directly checked the "next" button at the bottom and directly understood where lied the problem.
So I made a patch to properly pass the messages from the plugins when trying to save a new guest user so that the checkout ajax system can display them. It's now working fine on your website. We'll also add the patch on our end.

Hi Nicolas,

I didn't know this error existed otherwise I would have known the cause. What I am struggling with now is that I don't see an option in the products where you can offer the product to a guest user? Where would I find this option? All my product and category access levels point to all users. The only part where this changes is the pricing of products where I have a normal price and member price but this should not affect the checkout or guest checkout as an unregistered user does not see the member prices, only the prices of the public/guest users.

Where would I find the option to make a product fit for guest checkout?

Ok looks like I have worked it out. To be able to have a product available for guest checkout you have to set the custom field "User Group after Purchase" to NONE. I guess I could have kept the value "Purchased" in there if I had have made the Parent Group "Guest" not "Registered".

Hello,

Guest account do not have Joomla account ; so they don't have Joomla groups.
That is the very reason of that warning message :

You cannot proceed to a guest checkout as some of the products in your cart require a registration to our website. Please register an account or remove these products from your cart in order to proceed.

Once again, please provide these messages when you create your thread in our forum. There is a dedicated input field for these error/warning messages !

Yes I would have done so if at the time it showed an error message. I was asking how to allow guest checkout for any products but I worked it out that you can not use the custom field "User Group after Purchase" for products you want to allow guest checkout for which in my case is for all products so I has to set this to NONE for all products and it is working now.

Maybe add this note to your documentation for others to see as I didn't find anything on this in your documentation.
