Custom Checkout Step

Hi,

You would indeed need to create a plugin of the group "hikashop", and then implement the triggers :
- onCheckoutStepList(&$list) to add a view type to the checkout workflow editor so that you can add your interface where you want in the checkout
- onCheckoutStepDisplay($layoutName, &$html, &$view, $pos=null, $options=null) to display the interface by adding it to $html. Note that you need to check that $layoutName is the one you defined in onCheckoutStepList
- onAfterCheckoutStep($layoutName, &$go_back, $original_go_back, &$controller) to check that the interface has been used and do any necessary processing. Here again, you want to check layoutName.
You can check in the folder plugins/hikashop/userpoints/ where we've done the same thing for the user points plugin so that you can have a points interface on the checkout to choose whether you want to use your points or not and how much points you have left.

Hi,

HikaShop sends two emails to the customer:
- the order creation notification which is sent when the order is created at the end of the checkout
- the order status notification which is sent when the order status is changed to confirmed automatically (or when you change it manually and activate the notification to the customer)
So from what you're describing, you want to disable the "order creation notification" via the System>Emails menu.
That way, only the second email will be sent, and that will be only the case if the "order status notification" setting is turned on in your payment method.

You can check the emails sent to the customer in the Customers>Emails history menu.

That's correct. Now you can also keep it enabled and modify its code to only send it for some payment methods:
