RyanN Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 How does the checkout process work? On the checkout_shipping.php I added the contents of the shopping cart, and under each one is a textarea for each item for that product. What would I do with that information? When and where will I save that information? Is it saved when Continue is pressed? Is it saved when they finish paypal? I don't know how the checkout process works, please help.
vasttech Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 First, it is a holiday weekend (Easter) and many people are probably spending time with their families. Also, many people take the weekends off and that is slower time on the forums. Next, your question is very unclear so that is probably why you are not seeing answers either. What exactly are you trying to do (or ask)? Do you want to know the order in which things are done in checkout? The best way to find that out is to do a test order through your store. Everything related to the checkout is stored and finalized in the checkout_process.php file. That is the core of the checkout process. All the checkout pages before that build the information that is needed to complete the order (i.e. items in cart, payment method, shipping address, shipping method). osCommerce Knowledge Base osCommerce Documentation Contributions
RyanN Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 How is the information stored through out the 4 or 5 check out pages? are they saved in sessions? Does the owner of the oscommerce site view the check out items in their admin section? Do oscommerce send an email to the owner of the oscommerce? If so... where is the email compiled?
kirikintha Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 That's a lot to answer How is the information stored - it all depends on how you have your site set up - yes, sessions store the info. The owner of the store can look at any order placed in the system - not what is in an individual cart. OSC can send an email to the owner - it is compiled via a number of scripts. I would suggest you look at the documentation for OSC detailed information Nothing unreal exists
RyanN Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 Which table in the database would I put in the comment for the product, so it is visible on the admin panel? I am not really sure how it saves each product in the database. If you have a quantity of say 2, will it place the item in the database 2 times, or have products_quantity = 2? I am assuming that these products get placed in the table called: orders_products correct?
RyanN Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 OK... but you haven't answered my other question, does it put a 2 or a 1 in the quantity if there is more than one order of that product?
