Multiple issues still happening

Hi,

1. There should actually be no message displayed. That's a problem in the UPS shipping plugin. please remove the line:
$messages = 'No shipping address entered';
from the file plugins/hikashopshipping/ups.php and that will solve the problem.

2. If you just turn off the account confirmation option in joomla the users will still have to register but won't have to confirm their email address. I think that it's what you're looking for here.

2 bis. The cart module is displayed because in its menu assignments you set it to display on that page. What you should do is use the "force a menu on checkout" option in the Checkout tab of the config so that your checkout always use a specific menu that you can remove from your cart module assignments.

3a. You can change the display of the shipping methods selection to your liking by editing the file "shipping" of the view "checkout" via the menu Display->Views.

3b. If you want to revert the order of display of the usps methods, you will need to add the line:
$rates = array_reverse($rates);
before the line:
foreach($rates as $rate){
in the file plugins/hikashopshipping/usps.php

3c. Indeed the usps shipping plugin will only display results once an address has been entered as this is necessary.

4. You need to change the line:
$parcel->Destination_Postcode = substr(trim($order->shipping_address->address_post_code),0,6);
to:
$parcel->Destination_Postcode = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#','', substr(trim($order->shipping_address->address_post_code),0,6));

in that same file to avoid such problems.

5. I tried again, and it's again working. I creating two orders ( B3K2 and B3L3 ) on your website. I didn't change any setting. I just changed my address from california to arizona on the second order. The first order got the tax, not the second, as expected. So I'm unable to see any problem and I don't see how you could get a different result here.
I don't know, please try with my user account... You'll see for your yourself. Maybe there is a problem with your user account ?

6. I changed the email addresses in the configuration for you. Again, it's working too. I didn't get any error on the checkout when the website sent the two order creation emails.

7. Well, you could change your checkout workflow (via the corresponding option in the configuration) so that the checkout displays in several steps with a recap at the end. That's totally possible. You just need to set it up the way you want it.

8. That's because in your paypal pro options, in the return URL you set the URL www.hotpicksusa.com/store.html so at the end of the checkout, it automatically redirects there. You should leave that field blank and it will stay on the last step and thank the user for his purchase.
