How to Remove User Registration

Is there any way of removing the user registration from the checkout process and going straight to the checkout page to start entering the information to checkout?



I found this thread about doing it but it’s back from 2008 and I can’t find the files in the new 2.0 verison: [url]http://forum.cs-cart.com/showthread.php?t=9078[/url]



I think customers would rather skip the registration and complete the checkout.



Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Assuming you are meaning that you do not want registered users to be able to use your site or login for checkout but would prefer that all are anonymous checkout.



Just comment out the code you want to not be there is views/checkout/components/checkout_steps.tpl.

Hi tbirnseth,



I am using the normal checkout with the four steps. I want to remove the first step which is the user registration. I want to make the checkout process into three steps.



Could you please let me know exactly which code to take out of the file you are referring to because I’m not that good with coding.



I appreciate your help.



Thank you!

The way it is designed, removing the 1st step will not provide for entering an email address.



You would have a bit of customization to do. Can’t describe here nor give you step by step.



Suggest you hire a developer to make modifications for you. Probably and hour or two of work.

Which developer can I hire?



Can you do the work?

I’ve looked into this. As far as I understood, you need a checkout without forcing your customer to fill in an email address, right? (In case, a potential customer does not have or use an email address)



The way cs-cart is designed, it always requires an email, even by “anonymous” checkout, since cs-cart uses email-addresses to handle everything instead of a customer’s number which would have more sense after my oppinion (do you remember tbirnseth? :wink: )



I know the problem, my grandma likes to buy in the internet, but she still doesn’t got an email-address, so all shops based on cs-cart are forbidden to buy something for her.



To get back to the thread, I would say that it perhaps would be possible to give cs-cart a static email address for anonymous buyers, in example “noemail@yourshop.com” to force the system automatically to step 2.



I’m actually still looking if I’m able to help you with this, but I assume that tbirnseth can do it as well, so let’s wait for his reply…



Have a nice day…

Admin>Settings>General>Users/Cart>Users email is used as login (UNCHECK)



I don’t know how some of you people even survive until the next day sometimes? :smiley:



And by now, grandma should have figured out that she can simply add a bogus email address to complete her orders!

Haha, thank you Struck, I’ll forward your hint about the email :wink:

Of course… Contact me at tonybXX@ez-msXX.com (remove X’s) to discuss your specific requirements.



Contrary to the other posts, I don’t think it’s removing the email that is important to you. You simply want to avoid Registration. But do note that enabling registered users gives you much more marketing opportunity for those who want to order from your site (especially repeat customers).
