Before I purchase

-- url of the page with the problem -- : na
-- HikaShop version -- : 1504301216
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.37

Hey all, I've been playing around with the free version and it looks like it does almost everything that I need. However, I do have a few questions about features available only in the purchased version.

~

I.
Will I be able to display Inserted Products horizontally as opposed to vertically? For example:

{Product Image} {Product name} {Product Price} {Add To Cart}
{Product Image} {Product name} {Product Price} {Add To Cart}
{Product Image} {Product name} {Product Price} {Add To Cart}
{Product Image} {Product name} {Product Price} {Add To Cart}

So essentially, a <ul> with an inline display.

~

II.
Our check out is very simple. Customers are only getting a quote. There is no shipping (no shipping address required) as they have to come to us to pick up the product. Ideally, I need the customer to be able to ask for a quote on items and provide us an email address to get in touch.

So check out would be this:
* Customer adds item(s) to quote.
* Customer checks out and enters email address
* Customer, Sales Department and Site Admin are emailed the quote
end of order

Incredibly simple, I would think, but I've yet to find one cart system for Joomla that does this.

Can anyone confirm that the purchased version of HikaShop does this for me?
Cheers!

Hi,

1. That's possible even with the free version. Change the "type of layout" option of your products listing menu/module via the menu Display>Content menus/modules to "list" and that should do it.

2. Again, that's possible even with the free version of HikaShop. You'll want to remove the parts you don't need from the "checkout workflow" setting of the HikaShop configuration.

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for the fast reply. I've a few questions on your answer.
I.
I'm using "Inserted Products" not the "Products Listing". So I'm creating an article and adding this code:

{product 1|name|cart|quantityfield|picture|link|pricedis3}
{product 2|name|cart|quantityfield|picture|link|pricedis3}

Is this adjustable in the same way that you mentioned?

II.
I've played around with the Checkout Workflow as well and I can't get the system to request an email address from the end user before the order/quote is submitted. So I'm assuming that it's under the "HikaShop/System/Checkout/Login & Registration/Registration" area. I'm assuming that's where I can allow a Guest checkout. I'm not certain because that feature is only available in the commercial versions of HikaShop. If I'm correct and this is where it is, if I set it to Guest, will it prompt the end user to enter their email address?

Thanks again for the help here.
Cheers!

Hi,

1. In that case, it's up to you to add the HTML you want. For example:
<ul>
<li>
{product 1|name|cart|quantityfield|picture|link|pricedis3}
</li>
<li>
{product 2|name|cart|quantityfield|picture|link|pricedis3}
</li>
</ul>

2. If you don't see any email field on your checkout, it can mean two things:
- you removed the "login" view from your checkout workflow.
- you are already logged on your website.
There is no other reason I can see and the "registration" option has no incidence on that.

Thanks again for the help Nicolas. I must apologies for not being very clear in my description.

For item #2, there is no login on the front end of the website at all. Neither Admins or endusers will be logging in. I've removed the "Login" from the checkout workflow so that the enduser doesn't get confused. All I'm looking for is an area for the enduser to enter their email address at checkout so that they, Admin, and our sales team receive a copy of the quote.

Is this only available in the "Login" portion of the checkout workflow? Is it only an option with the purchased version that includes "Guest checkout"?

Cheers! and thanks again for you assistance.

Hi,

If you want to capture the email of the customer during the checkout the "login" view is necessary in the "checkout workflow".
If you also don't want any user account created for the customers, it would require to set the "registration" option of the HikaShop configuration to "guest" yes, and in that case, it would require either the Essential or the Business edition.
