This solution will take customers straight to the checkout after adding product to the cart from a
page with a shopping mode of 'Quantity on Product Page' with a single add to cart button per
page.
1. Create a file called, for example, AutoCheckout.html in the site folder using a text editor such
as Notepad.
2. Insert the following lines...
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="ACTION" VALUE="Checkout Now">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="CHECKOUTURL"
VALUE="cgi-bin-url/os000001.pl?ACTION=Start%21" TARGET="_self">
The phrase 'Checkout Now' must be replaced with the exact text as defined in Design | Text |
Go to | Phase -1, ID 184 (Default is 'Checkout Now').
The phrase 'Start%21' must be replaced with the encoded text as defined in Design | Text | Go
to | Phase -1, ID 113 (default is 'Start!').
'cgi-bin-url' must be replaced by cgi-bin URL as defined in Network Setup.
Change os000001.pl to osnnnnnn.pl where nnnnnn is the CGI Script ID as defined in
Network Setup left padded with zeroes.
3. Go to 'Advanced | Custom Properties' and create a text Custom Variable called
'AutoCheckout'.
4. Next, double click the section that is to have this function, and go to the 'Properties' tab.
5. Add a new row to the grid, and select the Custom Variable 'AutoCheckout'.
6. Set the value to 'AutoCheckout.html' or whatever the file was saved as earlier.
7. Untick 'Searchable'.
8. Tick 'Use as CUSTOMVAR', 'File Name' and 'Use File Content'.
9. Click 'OK'.
10. Next, edit the template 'Act_SingleCartButton.html'.
11. Insert ‘CUSTOMVAR:AUTOCHECKOUT’ anywhere in the template.
12. Update the site and test
