X-Cart forums

I am not a big fan of fastlane checkout or the standard cart. I have managed to get all of the following onto my 1st checkout page of the standard cart to make it a bit smoother:

Redeem a coupon - accepts normal x-cart coupons. I have called them referral coupons as part of the BCSE Reward referral mod: (try this one - "2905REFERRAL9278") - I modified discount_coupons.php to reload the checkout page rather than the cart page after a coupon is added.

in modules/Discount_Coupons/discount_coupons.php

replace 2 instances of this:

func_header_location("cart.php");

with this:

func_header_location("cart.php?mode=checkout");

Redeem a coupon - also accepts multiple On Sale coupons (try this one - "DISCOUNT10") - currently it reverts back to the cart page as I cannot edit OnSale_coupons.php - although bill was kind enough to run me off a modified file - still needs a bit of tinkering.

Redeem Points Points - BCSE's customer reward points mod - I could not stand having this as a seperate payment method to I have set it up to work on the checkout page 1.

please take a look: http://www.sub-laser.co.uk/shop and have a play: the site is not open so please do not submit on any orders and excuse the crap finish and layout - still working on content and CSS issues. Any comments/suggestions please

oops, sorry.. the whole point of my last post was to say that in my opinion the standard cart is much easier to play around with than fast_lane_checkout. Why not try/use the standard cart - I messed around with fastlane for hours and could not get it to do what I wanted and thought that the standard cart was a step backwards - but its not.

Thanks for the tips Hebs. I'm in the process of setting up a test environment to put all checkout info on one page and plan on using the standard cart. Do you know roughly how much time you spent in getting your checkout set up? I'm trying to weight the benefits of doing this myself vs. add on software.

Thanks.

it only took a couple of days, but most of that time was taken up by teaching myself the basics of smarty & php. If you are happy with the basics of HTML, smarty & PHP then it should be quick.

Most of my time was taken up with trial & error because I am learning as I go.

If time is a premuim then it is worth paying a professional.

I've got an issue. I've sent out a first time customer discount coupon. i don't require customers to register before they can shop (I do before they can check out though). The problem is that since the coupon is a 1 per customer only, you need to be logged in apparently so the store can know who you are. So the coupon won't work on the bottom of the shopping cart page. Needs to be in the checkout. I'm using fastlane -

Can anyone tell me how to move the coupon to the checkout shipping and payment page? Have you verified that it works?

Hi All,

I included the "coupon code" code on my Fast Lane Checkout "Place order" page, but now whenever I enter a coupon code and click Submit, I get redirected back to my shopping cart. Obviously, I want to avoid this since this person is at the last step of the checkout process.

Any way to keep the customer on this page after submitting a coupon code? I don't want them to be redirected back to the cart only to have to click a few more times in order to get back to this page again.

Note: I added

{include file="modules/Discount_Coupons/add_coupon.tpl}

to skin1/modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/checkout_3_place.tpl.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am also having this redirect problem. Is there a solution which can direct the user back to the checkout page rather than right back to cart.php?
