lamin-x Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I am interested in installing the fec3.2 contribution in order to make the checkout process shorter for my customers but my IT guy told me that it would effect how my automated credit card processing works (linkpoint) and would cause my customers to possibly not be billed automatically or that it could possibly decline their credit cards due to some reason or another.... Could someone please explain this to me. I desperately want to shorten the customer checkout process, I feel that I am losing sales due to the requirement to log in, create an account, and have to click 7 freaking times in order to purchase. Please someone help...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Vger Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 The best way to shorten the Create Account/Checkout process is to set to 'false' all of the options under Configuration --> Customer Details in osC Admin. This will remove the need for customers to have to enter their Gender, Date of Birth, Company, Suburb and State. Then you can remove the code block in the root level create_account.php file which calls for people to enter their Fax Number. This is not a required field and can safely be removed. Pay Without Account duplicates the normal Create Account process, except that at the end of it the account is not created. The process is no shorter than the normal Create Account process. Fast Easy Checkout may well interfere with payment processing because it doesn't pass along required data. By the way. Am I the only one who's sick of all of the posts with "For the love of God", "For the love of Allah" or "God will bless you for helping me" or similar prefacing of posts in this forum. For the record - God has nothing to do with osCommerce and doesn't help out on these forums! Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you know that the phrase, "for the love of god," has absolutely NOTHING to do with god, or even with the idea of god; it is what is often referred to as an "idiom." Maybe you should brush up on your basic communication skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamin-x Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 I think Vger was joking :D Oh, my bad....how about, "for the love of Buddha." That's fairly non effensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Vger Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 No, not joking - genuinely getting fed up with the mention of God, Allah, Jesus etc. on these forums. But perhaps not the best post to make a point of it on. The thing is ...if you actually do believe in one of the main dieties of the three great religions then they all have their roots in the Old Testament and the Ten Commandments. And one of those is "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." I remember that much from Sunday School (way back when). So saying on forums that God will bless you for helping them out with their osCommerce problem is about as false and fake as you can get. My two-pennies worth. I'll shut up now.

baserunner Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 and just another point of view to add: if you mention WHAT your problem is in title instead of god or other idioms, ppl that might know the answer look into your thread earlier.... the whole idea of forums is generally to help...so to ask for help in the title does not help at all... and i do assume you want quick help... ;) regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamin-x Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Truth be told, I'm not a Christian, Muslim, or any other variant, and two, I posted this question 2 times prior before putting "for the love of god" comment in the title. Both times previously no one helped or lended an answer; it was after I posted a title such as that, that I recieved a response. Something to think about. It was more based on frustration than on a belief structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b101aa2 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 rotflmao. I can't believe i just came across a theological discuss here. Good osc eticate: non religion, theological, phylisophical, or idioms. Praise OSC is acceptable though. Otherwise I will start adding All Hails Oden in all my comments too. And then we can rename these forums to the anything goes debate that is a bonified osc forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
