top Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 This might sounds strange, but is there a way to completley remove (suspend or something like this) the account creation. And I mean completley: just have the customer filling the shipping informations and pay. I've imlemented of course the "w. account" contribution but even so an account is created. Any suggestions? Wich files do I have to modify for the script to not create the account. I know, it does maybe sounds kind of strange, but I still want to use OSC (the best with so many features) just don't want account creation at all. Thanks.

mcbsolutions Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 You might look into the Purchase Without Account contribution. It doesn't elminate everything, but it allows your customer to buy without creating an account. They still have to enter billing and shipping information of course. I am attempting to get the PWA contribution working. In addition, I would like to implement the following. I offer Paypal as a payment option. For those customers, I would like a way for them not have to submit their billing and shipping information as it is already on file with Paypal, who provides the info to me. This would make things very quick and painless. If anyone can offer ideas on this, I appreciate it. Thanks! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hi Dan First thanks for reply. I have alleready installed a contribution "purchase w. account" but this still don't solve my problem. An account is still created, just the customer will never know :) . This friend of mine I'm setting up the script for dosen't want to use account creation at all since he so that even if the client dosen't have to insert a password, next time will buy something the client will not be able to checkout with the same informations provided the first time. I've explained him the logic of account creation, but he thniks that this will scarred away customers. So... see my dilema. Well, I'm using Osc for my webshop. For this friend of mine I am gonna find another script that supports 2 langauges. Not an easy task. Unfortunetly I can't help you with your question. But as I understand by reading this forum there is no way to skip the shipping-step. For instance I only have one method, but still the customer has to go trough all the steps to checkout. But here's a link for you. Maybe it can help you. http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/viewtopic.php...t=skip+shipping Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfunkychief Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I'm using PWA contribution, when they click "continue without account", it does ask for some information, but wouldn't you need that info to ship to the person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Actually I don't need that info and for my site the ship screen is just... to be there. I'm from Denmark and usually (99,99 %) the buyer uses the same adress. Small country :D and this is just the way it is here. The most danish webshops only have the fields with the adress&info in one place. Otherwise the customer will get pretty borred of having to go trough so many steps and prefer to have the product in few clicks. See it, like it, buy it, give the adress, pay and... have a nice day (veni, vidi, vici). I had spoken with some webshop's owner and they told me that after dropping the account creation and reducing the steps the selling increase by 18 - 25 %. And even if I like this account creation idea (wich I do) sometimes is just unproductive, specally if you are going to sell some small products and don't have more to offer to the client than the producs themselvs. Time is money. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfunkychief Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 I see. I'm not sure how you could 'disable' the account creation, but you could limit the number of fields shown, probably down to just name and address. Would that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Actually, since I?m from Denmark aswell and we?re looking into oscommerce for our shop solution, I would also like to know how to completely disable the account creation process, or atleast make it a matter of personal choice for the costumers.

top Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 Hi Dan I don't think it's possible yet to remove the account creation (belive me I have tried) but there is a way to make it a matter of personal choice for the costumers. In the contributions section, Features, look for "purchase without Account". There are 3 as far as I know. What to use depends on what version of OSC you are using. This will not remove tha account creation, but the customer will be able to purchase without having to type a password. Der dindes ogs? en dansk forum.

Not sure why, but the option to continue without an account simply doesn't show up. Anyway if you happen to find any solutions to this I would love to know!

Even if they don't have a PayPal account, they'll still need to fill out their shipping info. It's useless for them to do it twice. So I just need to skip all that and go straight to the shipping/payment options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 ..Or at the very least give an option to either fill all that out or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I just need to skip all that and go straight to the shipping/payment options. ok..baby steps.. Do this..and they only have to fill in the shippment address once.... 1. download and use paypal ipn instead of the default paypal module , also include the address mod 2. the payment/shipping page does not ask for address..just shippment metode and payment metode choice.
