jonesevan007 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Looking to implement an 'amazon.com' style login/account_creation page that doesn't require any address or any other information when signing up for an account (just email address and password). Are there any potential problems with just going into create_account.php with a chainsaw and removing the text-input boxes for address, company info, etc? Naturally, I'd remove the javascript error messages associated with the '* required fields'. Do you think this would pose a problem on checkout_shipping when there are no addresses to pull from or would it be easy to have a "add an address" button display if their address book is empty. I'm not really too concerned with the php code as I can muddle through it but I am interested to hear what you think might happen or if there are any contributions that would fit this sort of problem. I still want accounts to be mandatory for checkout, but I want the account creation process to be more mindless :) Appreciate your thoughts~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesevan007 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 PWA. Paypal express chekout. Google chekout. Satish As I said, I still want the customers to have an account to check on their order status and have access to account-only freebies and the like so PWA is out. I'm also not looking for payment contributions per se, just looking to move all the address input boxes from the create_account page to the checkout_shipping page like Amazon and other very successful online retailers have it set up. The reasoning is that when someone is creating an account with me I don't need their address until they plan on buying something. This would really remove a big barrier to account creation as people, including myself, don't offer up their addresses freely unless it has something to do with a specific order being shipped. Basically, all I would do is ax most of the input boxes on the create_account page (except for email and password and name) and have an "add an address" button on my checkout_shipping page. Feel free to comment if this sounds do-able within oscommerce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
