Default EASY CHECKOUT --> is there a better way

Hi first i have a general question regarding the easy checkout mod many on this forum seem to be using, from firetank and others.

The cart summary is not present on neither the method page or the payment page. Doesnt this hurt when a customer cant review their order one last time before they click to do the final submit.


Also what happens user select to use a giftcertificate but it doesnt cover the entire amount. How do they know ( x dollars of ) that the gift certificate was applied and the remaining balance on the order?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
general comments tell me what you think:
To me it seems wasteful to have a seperate page for payment method and then another page where they enter their payment details (credit card num...)

What if the page was combined into one. You can call the page
"Review & Pay"

at the top you would have the order summary

then below you would have their address, maybee billing and shipping
side by side (so that u save some space)

then below on the left it would say

select payment method (the below each have a radio button)
credit card
paypal
check
gift certifcate

the default you could set to credit card (so the center area has a space to enter credit card info)
if they select a different radio button the center area changes

then there is just a submit order.

what do you think of this scenario as opposed to the other, it shortens the checkout process, lets the customer review their order, and removes a page dedicated to asking a user their payment method.



The only question is how difficult this would be to implement
