One-Page Checkout v2.5.4

This documentation contains implementation details associated with the guest-checkout and registered-account features introduced by v2.0.0 of One-Page Checkout (OPC) for Zen Cart and augments the information already present in the plugin's readme. The roots of OPC's guest-checkout and registered-account processing (OPC-GC/RA) are found in the COWOA (by @DivaVocals, @countrycharm and others) and COWAA (by @davewest) plugins … but the implementation is quite different.

Notes:

  1. Supports Zen Cart versions 1.5.8 through 2.1.0.
  2. Validated on PHP versions 7.4 through 8.3.

Overview

v1.0.0 of One-Page Checkout enables a Zen Cart store — without additional fees — to present an up-to-date checkout experience to its customers.

v2.0.0+ continues that fee-less tradition, with the introduction of the following features:

  • Guest checkout. Enables a store to provide a fast-path through its checkout process. An OPC-GC customer's information is gathered and saved for only the current order. In this checkout path, the create_account, checkout_shipping, checkout_payment and checkout_confirmation steps are combined in a single, AJAX-aided checkout_one page.

  • Registered accounts. Enables a store to gather minimal information from a customer in its account-creation processing. An OPC-RA customer has all the benefits of a regular store customer, but they have not yet provided any address-related information. They can sign up for newsletters, product notifications and wishlists … just like full-account holders. When an OPC-RA customer checks out, the checkout_one page's processing requires that they supply that address information.

  • Temporary addresses. A non-guest-customer has the option of using an address only for the current order.
