1 Page Checkout

[free2take]

Hi all,

Just to let everyone know, I am very close to finishing a 1 -2 page checkout process. I will try and put it out it in module format.

This checkout will also allow for bulk image uploads, bear in mind this is being driven by the free ads market, but will allow for packages as well.

Cheers,
Mully

Very cool. I know a lot of people have been asking for this. If you need any help give me a shout.

Good stuff. It really should become part of the default set-up if possible. I suppose it is something like

page 1: choose category, choose package, enter details, enter images
page 2: verify advert with checkout button
page 3: off to paypal or whatever

Is that how it is? I can see page 1 may actually be reasonably split into two pages if necessary but no more.

Upgrade/renew:

page 1: modify advert and choose upgrade or renew options (big warning - if you proceed beyond this step your current advert will be deactivated until payment is made).
page 2: off to paypal or whatever

For me that would make a lot of sense and make the process fairly quick.

Hi,
Well to me I think:

1. Pick category, packages avalible should display under the dropdown
2. Enter listing details and under extra options have contact details
3. Images (multiple Upload)
4. Verify ad

I think two much on the one page will cause problems.

Currently first page covers all ad details and photos.

If its a free ad and succesfully placed then you are simply directed to the thanks page.

If a paying ad then you are directed to paypal etc, but you make the payment gateway selection on the first page.

Hi,
Will the image uploader be flash or similar? how will you stop it from refreshing the page?

Based on the number of photos you get that many text fields with a browse button for each, until you do the submit nothing gets uploaded or resized.

After succesful ad creation and photo upload you are onto the thanks page.

So you upload all of the photos and resize them in one fell swoop? Do you use shared hosting?
