Re: checkout without registering

Am I correct that the only way to allow checkout without registering is in the paid version of Hikashop?

Yes. You could remove the login_address_ view from the checkout workflow in order to have a checkout without registration but you wouldn't be able to get the user email or address during the checkout so it would be hard to send your goods your customers.

Hi, my website generates paid .pdf documents. Can I create with the paid version of Hikashop document handling without registration and e-mail? For example the .pdf pops-up in a new screen after payment. No registration, no e-mails, very pleasant:)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

That won't be possible. In order to validate the download of the files of the products, the system checks that the current user has purchased the products which require authentication, and thus user creation.
If you want to do that, that is possible but only with something like a view file custom code that you would have to develop to handle the automatic display of the PDF at the end of the purchase, after the payment.

What kind of custom coding you suggest and how to connect this with Hikashop?

You can either create a plugin and use our triggers (see developers' doc here: www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...r-documentation.html ) or directly override Hikashop core files (but these files will be replaced in case of update) plus some views (you'll find the views in display>Views and the core files in administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes).

Honestly I´m a bit angry...

In your features or compare overview there is no word about "checkout without registration".
So I spent hours configuring my hika installation and finally figuered out that I have to pay 49,- € only to use this feature.
If I had known this before I would not have used Hika and spent time on it.

It is not the point that I don´t like Hika Shop. The point is that I´m not happy with the way you try to make your money.
What would be the reason for you to disable this feature if it is not making money at a hidden point where the user is nearly at the "point of no return"?

Good point, Smint. I didn't know it was possible :sick:
Can you give me an update, Nicolas?

I had the same issue, and was finally able to make it work...it is possible

On decorativeplumbingonline.com, you can checkout without registering, and all info IS passed through to Hikashop, name, address, e-mail, etc...

Visit our site, put something in the cart and try it, you can quit before you need to enter payment

This only works with business version.

First in the Hika config under checkout>login & registration choose "no" for login, "no registration" for registration and "no" for display email confirmation field.

In checkout workflow you should have cart, then login, then address.

A link & message to allow account creation was added in views>login.php using html

In hika config I did a language override: HIKA_REGISTER="Continue"

You should also review my previous post on this issue...

www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/82487-mi...-check-out-step.html

PLEASE NOTE that I did this awhile ago and not sure I remember all the steps, but test it first, I believe this is all I did...AND PLEASE...be sure to do a back-up first.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

As explained in the documentation, the feature is in commercial editions (Business AND Essential).
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5....html#checkout_login

I am sorry that the feature was not explained in the compare page. It is not our intention at all to hide the features which are in the commercial versions.

For the guest download question, it will require a modification in the HikaShop core in order to remove the security on logged user and for the user check too. The best at this moment is to add some kind of token in order to do not let everybody download files with just an order id and a file id.

Jerome...

I don't want to make too much of an issue here, but you are misleading Hikashop users...Guest checkout DOES work and requires minor modification, nothing to do with the core of Hikashop. And you can capture the users address, e-mail, etc...

Please read my post, and visit my website, decorativeplumbingonline.com, put an item in the cart and begin the checkout process

Hi,

Yes guest checkout works good and basically do not require any kind of modification.
I just mean that guest download is not an implemented feature.
That's all I said.

Hello.
I'm quite new to hikashop.
when I remove the address and login from my workflow menu then I can complete a payment.
But when customers write their information in, they cant complete a payment.

my side fch-custom.dk
When customers enter the address into the website so they can not move on

Can you help ..?

Hi,

Sorry, I didn't have any trouble to make a test purchase in your website with the account "test_hikashop".

Regards,

No, I can see, it may be because I am logged in to the administrator when I test.?

If you can not make a purchase without the customer having to verify email, ie such that the client writes all data in and go directly to the payment?

Hi,

So you have to change the Joomla configuration for the user registration rule.
HikaShop uses Joomla to create the account, if Joomla want an email activation, an activation will be require.

Regards,

ok thanks for the help. I'm trying to get it to work. I also believe that there is an error in my workflow.

Login address - shipping payment-terms - coupon-cart-status fields

Hi,

Well, it looks fine. I don't see any specific problem with this workflow.

Regards,

Hello
Re: my checkout workflow
www.maalfoto.dk
i am working on a new page www.maalfoto.dk

I can not get my download link to work from the mail that my customers get after they have purchased the item.

is there anyone who can help me get the accurate, current workflow up so it can be done so that customers can download from the mail.

When customers click on the link in the email, they are sent back to the website to login?

  attached a few screenshots
for test the cuponcode is: havstryger

Hi,

Actually when the customer purchase in guest checkout he can't download directly the file.
He must have an account to download it.

We have on our todo list to allow downloads for guest users.
