Checkout settings

• Web Design For Internet Marketers

Using the Checkout settings you can change the look and feel of the checkout page.

It has four tabs. Click on Edit to enable them.

• In the Checkout settings page, there are several checkboxes that let you enable or disable basic features of the checkout page. If you are using a third-party checkout service, you can disable the checkout page provided by Ubercart; for this you need to uncheck the first checkbox. We are not going to use such service, so leave it checked.

• The second checkbox enables or disables anonymous checkout. We don't want to allow users to check out who haven't logged in, so uncheck it.

• The next checkbox hides the shipping information panes, when the order has only non-shippable options. It's a very useful feature, so leave this checked.

• In Checkout pane display options, you can select whether to use collapsible checkout panes or to collapse a pane when its Next button is clicked. The default settings are just what we need, so proceed to the next checkboxes.

• The last group of checkboxes lets you decide how your store is going to handle a new customer account. First, you have to decide whether you want to send new customers a separate e-mail with their account details. It's very useful to inform your customers about their accounts, so leave this checked.

• If you check the next checkbox, Drupal will automatically log in users when new customer accounts are created at checkout.

• The last checkbox lets you set new customer accounts to active. It is recommended to leave this checked, because if you don't, you'll have to activate your clients account manually on a daily basis.

• In the last field you can specify an alternative checkout completion page. Leave this blank, because we are using the default Ubercart checkout page.

• Click on Save configuration to store your settings.

Now click on the Checkout panes tab. It has three option groups:

• In the first group you can enable or disable the different panes of the checkout page. All the panes are useful, so leave all of them checked.

• In the Customer information settings group, you can decide how you're going to handle the creation of user accounts by anonymous customers. If you want an e-mail confirmation from anonymous customers, and you want to allow them to set their own user names and passwords, you have to check the next three checkboxes.

• If you don't want to change the default help message, and want to show the total order preview on the payment pane, just click on Save configuration.
