Small question about removing Checkout

[ozzysworld]

Hi there.

 

My site is based here (http://www.bentinckfencing.co.uk/catalog) & is not yet live to the public.

 

My question is simply this:

 

We would like all of our customers to complete an order by telephone call because the nature of our delivery service does not allow us to take online payments! (as every single delivery incurs a different cost)

 

So basically I want to modify the checkout page so that it just displays the cart amount, along with a few paragraphs explaining how we deal with orders. This is completely bypassing the 'sign in' page and anything after that payment wise.

 

Any ideas how this can be done?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this helps but there is a mod know as store mode, this allows your site to have several modes.

 

in one it wont allow anything at all to go on (site maintainance

in another it will allow all the pages to be used normally but wont let you checkout etc). a variation on this may heklp if the full module doesnt allow exactly what you are looking for.

 

 

basically you want orders to be processed but not paid for and the delivery to be confirmed and inal itemised by you.

 

The delivery price is different because its customised product or that weights vary, it its due to different weights then you can setup a shipping module to allow for the differences?

had a look at your site, you need a mileage postage calculator?

 

If you used zone based shipping module, you could create zones as counties as it stands, or go for someone to modify the code to provide a shipping module that would allow you to create zones based on uk towns or postcodes.

 

You can find a coder on one of the many freelance coder websites that are knocking about, I suggest that if you post a project on one of them you think it through on what you want it to do before posting and use someone that has some good feed back if you havent used these sites before. I suspect it wouldnt cost much more than £100 for someone outside the uk to look at this for you probably less, as they only need to get the module to use a table and base the postcode on the first half of the code or to use the town name system.

 

Just a thought

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

 

My aim is to allow customers to use the shopping cart to total all their products, but then to leave it there & have them complete it over the phone.

 

I've been playing around at altering the login.php page as this is the first one they see when they click 'checkout'

 

on login.php I plan to simply explain our shipping procedure and provide a telephone number.

 

It seems rather cumbersome altering login.php and I was wondering how many & which files i'd have to modify to make the 'checkout' button redirect to example.php. Does that sound feasable?

 

Thanks again.
