This QuickCheckout module is an attempt at improving the stock Single Page Checkout module in BVC5. Most of the controls used in the checkout module have been moved into the module's folder and have been edited as well to fix issues and some markup. There are so many usability, markup, functional, and accessibility improvements that I won't list them here. Just give it a shot for yourself.

It's a work in progress, and is still far from perfect, so all I ask is to please post any improvements you make in this thread.

[3]SCREENSHOT[/3]
Click on this screenshot for an actual size example:


[3]INSTRUCTIONS[/3]
1. Drop the QuickCheckout folder into your store's /BVModules/Checkouts folder.
2. Go to BVAdmin > Options > Orders.
3. Select QuickCheckout from the drop-down list at the top of the page and save.
4. Edit the look and feel of the checkout to match your store.

[3]CSS EXAMPLE[/3]
I've added some rough CSS in the README.txt file to include in your theme and add/edit/delete to your satisfaction. This is just a general idea of what can be done, and I've included a screenshot as an example of what this particular checkout looks like.

Note that your theme may already include a few of these styles, which this will override, so don't forget to test your design.

[3]SUPPORT[/3]
I'm not officially supporting this module, but will try to answer questions if posted in the thread this module is posted in on the BV Forums.

[3]LICENSE[/3]
This module is free to use as you like, I just ask that you please share your improvements with the rest of the BV community.

[3]DONATIONS[/3]
Payment for this module isn't required, but if you'd like to show some love, feel free to buy some 'crowns' at KingOfTheList.com to promote your store(s). Part of the payment goes to charity, part goes to me, your links get promoted, everybody wins. :)

Good luck with your store and I really hope this new checkout helps increase your conversions!

Cliff,

I will test on my site. looks good. ill post results ;)

Very nice, thank you.

A few small things.

I'd change "Quick Checkout" to "Checkout". "Quick Checkout" implies there's a 'Slow Checkout'... then, How do I get to use that one instead?

Can the open shipping policy be changed to 'closed' by default? (Visible="false")

Cliff,
You are great. Just over a week ago I was talking with a friend about changing my checkout to be a step-by-step process to help users deal with the page and now here it is.
Thanks a lot. I'll integrate this with my sites as well and get back with any commnents.
Regards,
Corneliu.

We should probably get some credit for paying to have it designed in the first place :)

It's worked pretty well so far but the state/zipcode will often hang up confusing customers. It's a vast improvement from what was there in the first place.

Hahah. Yes, HPros's store was the catalyst for finally getting this done, though I only charge for store-specific items and installation. I'll be upgrading theirs to the latest version for free, of course. :)

This checkout has been a side project for a really long time, I'm glad you like it. And I suggest that everyone get their promotional products from PromoManagers.com! :-)

HPros, the state/zipcode thing is something that I still haven't been able to get past due to it's reliance on Anthem. If anyone wants to tackle that, that would rock.

It has been known to hang up and often when it finishes loading it will cause the user's tabbing to miss the zip box.

I'm not saying the issue is Anthem-specific, just that it relies on Anthem and I don't yet know how to get around it. The button for shipping rates might be a good idea, but yeah, it would have to make sure the address is current. Didn't think about that.

Perhaps a button to reload rates if it does hang up might be the solution?

Thanks, Andy, good suggestions.

I agree, and that's why I tried to make it more of a multi-step process by sectioning it up a bit more clearly, and hopefully helped a bit more with the jump links (I doubt they'll be used much, though would be interested to find out). I guess the benefit is that you can see and make changes without page loads and going back and forth.

What I personally like is an accordion-style multi-step checkout. Minimal wait times between the steps because it's all on one page and each step is saved behind the scenes.

This is why there are options. As a shopper, Mitch likes the one page checkout...I don't. I feel anxious that I'm missing something so I scroll up and down the page 2 or 3 times checking the fields. Probably because I have missed fields and then spent several seconds scanning the long page trying to find the missing field(s). As a shopper, I prefer a 2-3 page checkout, with the caveat that I can easily tell how long it is (such as a "you are here" map at the top).

Wrong shipping costs when the zip is prefilled sounds like a bug.

Is anyone using this with BV5.6? I am getting errors concerning the check box with billing and shipping be similar. Anyone have similar issues?
