Easy way or 0 Step Checkout in Magento
3 years ago I first encountered the checkout through an online store created on the Magento platform. Having chosen the product I liked, I went to the checkout page (checkout), but not everything turned out to be so easy! A checkout almost repulsed the desire to buy something at all in this store! Still - 5 steps and a whole bunch of fields in the forms. And we all know: the fewer clicks a customer makes when placing an order, the more an online store will sell.
MagentoConnect has various OnePageCheckout solutions.
For example, OneStepCheckout . Let's see a demo . Add the item to the cart and go to checkout. The first thing that catches your eye is the “REVIEW YOUR ORDER” section that is being updated. What's the matter? I didn't even have time to pull the mouse! As a programmer, it is alarming to me that when opening a page, an ajax request is sent.
If the user fills in the First Name , Last Name , Email , Telephone , Address and at this moment he realizes that he wants to buy, for example, not one, but 3 goods. He goes to the cart (just click), changes the quantity (2 clicks), updates the cart (3 clicks) and presses "Proceed to Checkout" (4 clicks). A lot of clicks - of course this is bad, but the disappearance of information from the filled fields is too much! And the price of this expansion is far from the most attractive - from 245 to 590 euros!
True, there are cheap solutions, for example, Quick One Page Checkout , only $ 59. In 2 words about the essence: the author revealed all the sections of the accordion in the standard checkout and the user does not need to press “Continue” after each step. The solution is worthy, but a large number of fields remain, you cannot control their visibility, the problem is with the disappearance of the values ​​of the filled fields when you go to the cart and update the number of purchased goods. Who cares - demo . Although for such a reasonable price you should not strictly judge the authors of this extension.
As for me, a very worthy option is Gomage LightCheckout ($ 169). Let's try the demo . To be honest, even nothing to complain about. The expansion is really worth it! You can change the quantity for a product on the checkout page and immediately remove any product. The disadvantages include UI, because when you refresh the page in the middle of the screen, a download icon appears, which says: “wait, do not press anything, but it’s not enough”. This is possible and correct, but annoying. Also sections jerk when updating.
')
As you can see, these solutions are good enough, they solve tasks, but they also have shortcomings, sometimes even critical ones. And, as usually happens in such cases - if you do not find a solution that fully satisfies you, you have to create it yourself. So the idea was born 0 Step Checkout for Magento. View demo .
What am I talking about? Oh yeah, 0 Step Checkout provides the most compact way to place an order form on the shopping cart page. That is, the shopping cart and checkout are on the same page. Compared to the above listed extensions, this is most similar to GoMage LightCheckout, but uses more standard functionality, rather than custom one. Now about the features:
A lot of addresses in Magento have always bothered me. Probably in the west and for large projects - this is justified, but, to be honest, I myself have never seen practical benefits. Therefore, when implementing an extension, it was decided to remove the form for billing addresses. Also the extension always works with the default address only. Shipping and payment address is always the same. If during the order the user changed the address, then all changes will also be applied to its default addresses.
It costs only $ 93. The first customers have discounts, and the first 5 lucky ones get free extensions (subject to leave a review on Magento Connect).
PS: the extension is currently being tested by Magento, therefore it is not yet available on the Magento Connect website. Learn more about the 0 Step Checkout link .
UPD: the initial version of the extension for more than a month working on the site Viland.Ua
