Keeping the address entry simple

Hello, I'm new to Hikashop (a client has requested it) and am really stuggling to create a good user experiering for customer.

I want a no-login experience for customers. The big issue is with the address entry on the checkout.

I just want a simple form for billing and shipping address. It's not at all obvious that the user has to press the tick icon to 'add' the address. It doesn't even make sense to 'add' the address when the user is not creating an account.

Even worse is that if the user clicks the obvious next/finish button, thier address entry is deleted so they have to enter it all again. As well as this, if the user 'adds' the address and then presses the trash can, they are prompted to log in, when they dont have a user account?!?!

It's REALLY frustrating to use the way I have it. How can this feature be disabled? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks to enable the option "Ask address on registration".
Do you have the latest version of HikaShop ? the 2.3.0 ?

I just tried on my end and the customer has a form to set his address, then can add a shipping address (by clicking on "add" no option to display a form directly currently), then he can too delete his addresses without having to login.

Thanks Xavier. Yes, I'm on 2.3.0.

I've disabled the address on the cart page as it seems very counter-intuitive. I really want a traditional checkout flow;

Basket + Coupon + Shipping method > Address + Shipping Address > Payment gateway.

Is not not possible to disable all this 'click the tick before pressing next' on the address entry screen sillyness? It really doesn't make sense. It confused me so will doubtless confuse users...

Change the "address selector" option to "popup" and that should make more sense to you.
The list and dropdown selectors have been added in the latest version in order to improve the address interface but we didn't thought about clicking on next before validating the change/new address form in these modes. It will be done in the future.

Ahhh, that's much nicer - thank you!

Yes, please do look at the UX for this in a future update:-)

Also, for a non-registered flow, once the email address has been added, there is no way to go back and amend it. Is that right?

Also, would you mind telling me how to style this form.... I have tried the following in my template custom.css (which other hikashop overrides work from, but no success.

.contentpane #hikashop_address_form_span_iframe .key {
font-family: OpenSans,Helvetica,sans-serif !important;
}

Thank, Nick

Hi,

Yes, the email address cannot be changed after validating the form. What you can do is activate the "Display email confirmation field" so that the user has to enter it twice, reducing the chances of a typo.

In a popup, it's not your template's main index.php file which is used but the component.php file which can loads its own set of CSS. So it's possible that the custom.css file is not loaded by your template in popups. I would need to look at the CSS of the page directly on your website to tell you if your template loads the styles in the popups and what exact CSS you can use.
