As i posted earlier,
 
I am out of this feature. No one is heading this feature.
 
Its very difficult to explain Viart team

If you want to see an excellent one-page check out go :
http://www.misco.co.uk/indexuk.asp?
- place an order to go to checkout and see for yourself.
 
This is a feature-rich one-page checkout and would transform Viart!
 
Try Viart with this to see whether they could emulate it I don't know

@Ibn: I have the same experience. It is almost impossible to explain a feature request so that it is understood. My experience is that the reply is some very (over) complex solution at a too high rate.
 
For a company "based" in UK this is strange. Maybe the MD of Viart should get involved more and do the sales and feature planning.

I think they are from ukraine or they outsource the programming from Ukraine developers.
 
SajMalik

That, Ibn Saeed, is probably the real problem.
I know that Viart is based here in the UK but they do programming in the Ukraine.
 
I have some Ukranian clients who speak really good English but, gradually, I come to see that they do not always understand the meanings of words and phrases the same as I do.
 
Such (miscommunication is subtle and it can be late in a negotiation before I realise that we are not really talking about the same thing! I don't know

Viart asked $600 for it to be implemented
 
Rishit_Khandelwal
Rishit_Khandelwal
Yeah I know that. I believe 6 peoples are already joined the contribution, I'll be the next one, else we can start the contribution once again. Let the people come and join and we all will devide the cost, if no one join then we both will pay 50%-50%
 
SajMalik

I originally agreed to be share in ten contibutions.
 
Now - I will join if there are at least six - I can justify $100 to share this.
 
Having a fast and easy checkout would be a valuable improvement.

Ok. Now we are three members to contribute. Lets wait for three more members to be in. Meanwhile I just going to explain the job to ViArt peoples.

Whilst we are about it there is also an issue that should be improved during this process.
 
The prices etc., are at the top of the page but the delivery(shipping) country is in the delivery(shipping) box much lower down - I would like to see the delivery address selected before prices are shown so that the delivery(shipping) charge is correctly included at the same time.
 
As it is the customer gets the product price and total immediately, a little further down enters delivery address ..... and then goes back to the top of the page to see the total cost - _including_ delivery(shipping).
 
That's very convoluted.

Count me in as well
 
But first someone needs to re-analyse what kind of One Page Checkout process do we need.
 
All of those who wish to contribute must agree on the features for the OPC
 
Count me in as well.
 
Ibn Saeed
Ibn Saeed
I would like to clear one thing.
 
The features of OPC should be clear and someone would have to explain it to Viart's team.
 
Everyone should agree on the final outcome before paying for this feature.

Ibn Saeed as you started this thread I suggest we take your lead.
 
Would you like to put up an image for comment and agreement?

Yes Ibn Saeed, Christopher is the right person for this

Alright Chris.
 
What I will do is go through some websites complete Checkout process and select a few websites and then make a video recording of each websites checkout process as i go through each step.
 
I will post the videos here.
 
Then we can decide which sites checkout process we would be selecting to be added into Viart.
 
What do you guys think ?
 
SajMalik
SajMalik
That sounds an excellent idea
 
Ibn Saeed

I will go that then.
 
Just give me some time as its the last days of Ramadan, and I am quite busy.

I know this is getting a bit ahead of you Ibn Saeed but I hope this will be a worthwhile contribution to your thoughts. Smile
 
I use Misco for some of my technology equipment. Their checkout is easy and might help with our views on what we need.
 
I raise this simply because a third of my business goes through PayPal accounts and I wondered how this would be accomodated in a one page checkout where there are fields to capture credit card payments.
 
They offer the option to pay by PayPal in the same box as the credit card details - see attached.
 
One other thing I would very much like to have is to be able to add text to explain options - such as some text on the delivery options - a text field at the start or end of the block (or payment options block); Misco also provides hyper links in some areas.
 
I hope this is helpful,
 
Chris

Hello Chris
 
Thanks, all the help is appreciated. That is why this is the preliminary decision phase.
 
If someone else has any ideas, it is most appreciative.
 
Yes, indeed many merchants use Paypal as it would be useful to see how other shopping carts integrate it into their own One Page Checkout
 
Chris, i am not able to open the PNG image you attached above.
 
But I already had Misco on my list of sites to check for One Page Checkout.
 
 
Moreover, my site uses 2Checkout exclusively, me being an international merchant.
 
So we have to take everything into account, not just the plain credit card accepting solution.

I have just completed video recording of One Page Checkout for 5 different stores.
 
 
I have compressed it with 7z format. You will have to open it and then view the SWF file. I chose the SWF file due to its small size.
 
You can use GOM player (its free) to view the SWF files.
 
Please, download the following videos showing the One Page Checkout of each site.
 
I will also upload the Pictures of the One Page Checkout for each site, apart from the Varien.
