Registration or Joomla account required to shop

I am using HikaShop Business 2.2.0 on Joomla 2.5.6 and have activated the no registration function. pse.org/newsite/index.php/shop-hika However, the user is required to either log in or register to process an order. I was using HikaShop Essential 1.5.5 on Joomla 1.5 and it worked fine. www.pse.org/pse-shop I do need to allow the purchasers to not register, but collect the data in the storefront. How do I set this up correctly? In addition, is it possible to turn off the "HikaShop , Joomla!™ Shopping Cart Extension" at the bottom of the page?

Thanks,
Tracy

I can't see your website. It's protected by a htaccess.

I would say that it's probably that you didn't turn off the "login" option of the Checkout tab of the configuration.

For the footer, you can turn off the "show footer" option of the configuration.

Thank you I did find the "show footer" and I was able to get that turned off. However, if I remove the "login" option from the Checkout tab, my USPS shipping will not show up as an option. If they register does that create a Joomla account?

Thanks,

I'm talking about the login YES/NO option, not about removing the "login" view from your checkout workflow.

If I turn that login off, my members are not able to make a purchase. When they enter their email address it will not go forward as it recognizes the email as a member and is expecting it to create a new account. I am guessing there is no way around it.

Thanks,

I thought that it was what you wanted in fact

If you want your registered users to be able to login, while you still want non registered users to be able to purchase without creating an account, you can change the "registration" option to "no registration" as you already did. That way, no account will be created and the users won't have to enter a username and a password during the checkout. Note that of course, someone which already used his email address to register previously on your website won't be able to enter it for a "no registration" checkout since that email is already linked to a user account so he will have to login, or use another email address.

Memory allocation - i forgot about the developer error reporting.

Hi - hope this thread is still active.

When I click View Cart, go to checkout, pages come up blank.

I have to login in order the view cart or check out.....


Joomla 3.1.5
Hika 2.2.3 Starter
PHP 5.3.6

I would like the public to see cart then make the decision to check out before asking for login or registration.

Thank you.

Login is set to NO
Email Confirmation field set to YES
I have not been able to modify Checkout work flow

Thank you for your help

Hi,

1. if you have a blank page because of memory allocation, you should increase your php memory_limit (you might want to ask your hosting company about how to do that).

2. You can change the checkout worklow option of the configuration in order to put the cart view on its own first step with the rest of the views on a second step.

Hi.

The shop I'm working on should have different prices for a certain group (merchants) and “normal” customers.
The normal customers do not have to register but the merchants certainly do (due to ACL). As far as I understood, this can only work if the site has joomla registration and log-in forms for the merchants. The merchants will get assigned to their group after registration.

The merchants should not only have different prices, but they also should see the prices without VAT. And that is the problem, since they can't fill the adress_company field.
Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

When you create your tax rules, you can configure the access level for the tax rule. Simply restrict the tax rules to the user groups for which you want them. Then, the taxes will be based on the user group, not on the customer type (which is based on the address_company field).

Perfect!
Thank you, Nicolas.

Yet another problem. Now I have different tax rules and different prices for “normal” customers and for merchants.
The normals see the price with “(incl. VAT)” after if, which is OK. But the same happens to the merchants. How can get rid of (incl. VAT)-wording in case of the merchants, because they have prices without tax.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

"Incl. VAT" means that the price include the tax, even if the tax is "0".
