invest in a one page checkout solution and save yourself the head ache. It will pay for itself in no time.

However, we do not want our customers to have the ability to modify their billing address or contact information, only allow them to verify the information and be allowed to change shipping address. I would greatly appreciate if someone can get me started with this.

You have a unique requirement, one which most people will not have. Fortunately, the solution for you is a fairly simple one. Since you do not want to allow any "customers" simply hide the "personal details" section entirely by enclosing it within "{if ($usertype eq "A"} statements, and then in checkout skip the section entirely.

For the rest of us, we must deal with customers who may be apprehensive about giving out personal information for fear of identity theft and appease their concerns whenever possible.

Thank you for your suggestion JWait, this is what I was hoping to find. I agree that as a customer myself, I want the assurance of protection with giving my personal information. With our company having only a select base of customers who will be allowed to use our shopping cart, it poses different issues than others who use X-Cart on their website. With the help of these forums, I've been learning what templates to edit to acheive our look and needs for our cart. Can you point me to the cart template that holds "personal details" section?

I think it is skin1/main/register_personal_info.tpl but really haven 't had time to check.

couple of questions:

- where in google analytics does it tell you where someone abandoned an order ?

- i understand that the x-cart checkout process was streamlined for ver 4.2 but i'm not familiar with what it was like before. are 3rd party single page checkout add-ons relevant for 4.2 and if so, any recommendations ? thanks.
