Help the blind, please Smile

I'm working on Chizzle template for a download-only store, and am stuck on two things in the Checkout area. [Btw, Chizzle uses only Checkout 1-3 templates, 4-5 not used]. Checkout 1 is fine, the login/account create page.

On Checkout 2, how do I prevent the Shipping address section from showing? The...
{IF-ORDER-USES-SHIPPING-BEGIN}{ELSE}{REDIRECT-NEXT-CHECKOUT-PAGE}{IF-ORDER-USES-SHIPPING-END}
...QCtags are in place as the first thing in the code [above Doctype], and I've scoured the Admin area for 'turn off shipping' options, but no joy.

Second Q is, I want to combine Checkout 2 & 3 into one page, ie the final Checkout page. Seems to be a bug in the template where the Continue button at the bottom is coded to checkout2.php instead of checkout3.php, but I can't find anything in the code where this is specified--so I could correct the error. Where is it hiding?

I guess the last Q is moot if the IF-ORDER-USES-SHIPPING works as advertised--hmm, actually both Qs are moot then. Can you tell I'm tired? Smile

Thanks,
Mike.

Hello,

{IF-ORDER-USES-SHIPPING-BEGIN}{ELSE}{REDIRECT-NEXT-CHECKOUT-PAGE}{IF-ORDER-USES-SHIPPING-END}

By default the the code {IF-ORDER-USES-SHIPPING-BEGIN}{ELSE}{REDIRECT-NEXT-CHECKOUT-PAGE}{IF-ORDER-USES-SHIPPING-END} that is used in the checkout2 page is designed to first check the customer's basket to see if any products require shipping. If any of the products in the basket require shipping or are tangible products, the checkout2 page will be displayed and will ask for the customer to fill out their shipping information. However, if the basket does not contain any products that require shipping; the system will automatically skip checkout2 and go directly to checkout3 and ask the customer for their billing information and to finalize the transaction.

Note: There are a couple of settings in which will make a product require shipping. They are the following:

1. By setting the product as a Tangible Product [Navigation Menu > Products > Search Products > Product Editor > Digital Delivery > Tangible Product].
2. By selecting, from the Standard Product Editor under the Shipping & Fees tab, options # 1 and option # 7; which will cause even a Digital Product to require shipping.
3. By setting the product as a Hybrid Product [Navigation Menu > Products > Search Products > Product Editor > Digital Delivery > Hybrid Product].

We have tested this using the Chizzle Design Package in our development area and have confirmed that if the product is set as a Download Only product type and Options # 1 and 7 are not selected under the Shipping & Fees tab, the store will automatically skip checkout2 and go directly to checkout3. If you are still experiencing issues related to checkout2 not being skipped for Download Only products, it is recommended to start a support ticket [Navigation Menu > Support > New Support Ticket] about this issue. This will allow the Modular Merchant Support Team to investigate the issue further and come up with a solution.

I hope this information was helpful. If you have any further questions, please let us know.

That was the culprit! One of the products in the cart had those options selected.

Thanks Bavery Smile
