In store pickup - shortcut through checkout pages ?

[♥bruyndoncx]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to setup a faster way to record orders for in store pickup, where payment and shipping methods are fixed, as well as the customer details (customer = billing = shipping).

 

Ideally, it would like to give 2 options to checkout at the shopping cart page, one being in-store pickup and the other being the regular checkout for shipments.

 

I do need the customer details to confirm the order is ready for pickup, and would like everything to be kept in the system like other orders.

 

I've found the checkout alternative contribution, but somehow on my system it won't accept the payment module, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

 

The real question is, how do you set a fixed shipping and payment module and have it process properly ?

How would a skeleton page for something like this look like ?

 

Thanks for any insight you might provide, maybe there is something already available that I overlooked ?

Are the customers going to pay in-house or on your site? Are they going to need to be logged in to do this type of order?

Add the possibility of choosing "Store Pickup" on the create account page, if this option is checked, set shipping/payment method and make the system bypass the create_account_success, checkout_shipping and checkout_payment page going straight to the checkout_confirmation page.

 

If you think this could be a workable idea, then you could use this tip on skipping the payment and shipping page as a starting point.

It's pay at pickup in-house, but still with a possibility to enter discount codes and picking the gift wrapping paper

add an extra instore-pickup button similar to the paypal extress stuff to your cart page. store that info (which button used) in the session and go from there when using the login/create account page and in case of instore pickup skipping the shipping and payment page. fix the shipping and payment modules by creating extra modules that are only visivle if instore was selected beforehand, but obviously they will stay invisible as they get fixed and bypassed ... this works fine, no worries! done it before ...
