Add a Confirmation STEP for Registered Users

Hello,

I am using the FREE version of Hikashop on Joomla 2.5.6

I am selling a downloadable file and using only PayPal to collect payment.

So I have removed ADDRESS and SHIPPING from the workflow.

The current workflow is: Login > Payment > Coupon > Cart > Status > Fields

When a previously Registred User goes to Checkout and logs in, he is immedialtely taken to the PayPal login page without a step to just confirm/show what he is buying.
(Although the Login/Registration page DOES show the shopping cart it is displayed beneath the login/Registration block & the user would need to scroll down to see the cart)

(Also, for a NEW USER who has to register and verify, clicking on the verfication link takes them to a 'úser verified' page that does give the necessary pause in the process that I am looking for.)

The only way I can enforce a pause to the process for a Registered User is through enabling Force shipping regardless of weight in the main Configuration AND adding the SHIPPING step in the workflow.

But this shows up a system message asking the user to 'Select a shipping method' with nothing to select (as I am not collecting this data through registration.) So this is not an elegant solution.

If I add the ADDRESS only (No SHIPPING step)step in the workflow I get a blank section for billing the telephone field showing (I have unpublished all address fields in the Custom fields). Again this is not an elegant way of doing it.


Can you please tell me how to create an additional step & the code necessary? And if this is possibel on a free version?

Hello Nicolas,

Once again thank you, the more I find out about this extension the more I love it.

I will be implementing this on any other sites I develop and will make sure to convince my clients to pay for a commercial edition!

How to implement the steps are not too clear, the documentation has the older version with commas and underscores used.

I finally realised I have to click on the Add Steps link to create blank steps and move (drag/drop) my checkout items in to the relevant steps!

Thanks again!
