Checkout Problems: 3 issues.

3 issues:

1) The process: add product->checkout page->log in->check out->the following message appears:"
You chose the shipping method: XXX.
You chose the payment method: XXX."

Is this suppose to tell the customer that their choices of shipping and payment is invalid? If so, how can I move this section higher so that it is more visible? Also, can I add in a header that says "Checkout Error"?

2) The process: add product->checkout page->log in->check out shows "invalid address" at the last step. Why is there an invalid address? And how to turn it off?

3) After checking out and still logged in, I try to add another product into the shopping cart. Pop up says "Product added successfully". When I try to checkout again, error msg says "The cart is empty." at the top and does not go to the check out page. Why does this happen?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Any help? This is the last problem I'm encountering before I can launch the store officially. Thanks!

Tested the solution found at www.hikashop.com/en/forum/4-how-to/42611...d-custom-fields.html but it the solution did not manage to solve problem 3.

1. It just displays the selection of the user. If you don't want it or at a different place, just change the "checkout workflow" option of the configuration.

2. follow up here : www.hikashop.com/en/forum/4-how-to/43144-error-on-checkout.html

3. From what I understand, I would say that it comes from the cache of Joomla. Please turn off the cache option of the joomla configuration and the cache plugin via the plugins manager.

1. Thanks! Solved it.

2. Thank solved it. Thanks!

3. The cache for both joomla and cache plugin was not switched on. Any other solution?
This is what I noticed about the problem.

Flow sequence: Add product->Wait for pop-up box to close->click checkout at the top->Login->Checkout->Success->Add another product.

It is what I do next that makes a difference:
a) After adding another product->Wait for pop-up box to close->Click on checkout at the top that says:"1 item for $XXX each.->Page refreshes and shows Error "Cart is empty"->And when I add another product and try to checkout, same thing happens.

b) After adding another product->Click "checkout" within the pop-up box->Page refreshes and shows Error "Cart is empty"->Go back and add product->checkout works fine.

Another question about the "Display checkout progress bar". Instead of showing Cart, Address, etc, can I show "Step 1 of 3", "Step 2 of 3", "End"

Bump up. Assistance please...

If you want to change the display of the progress bar, you can edit the file "step" of the view "checkout" via the menu Display->Views and adapt the code to do what you want as there is no option to do it.

I tried to reproduce the error on your website for the cart empty, but I was not able to.
Could you please try with another user than the one you're using an another browser in order to see if it's not just a cache/cookie issue on your end ?

Hi nicolas,

sorry for the bump. The error cannot be reproduced because I changed the checkout procedure. Instead of having a pop-up, I changed it to show checkout page whenever a product is added. This sort of solved the problem. I would definitely still prefer to show the pop-up instead of changing to the checkout page. I switched it back to the pop-up if you can take a look. Thanks!

I think you are right. There was another cache in the template section. The problem is that if I turn that off, the website comes to a crawl. Takes too long to open the pages. Is there any way to force a refresh?
