[FreeTrade] Final word on COD - today

[Bjarne Hansen]

Hi!   Thanks Jon for pointing the way to VALIDATE_ORDER.   I read that one, and the solution seems clear to me. There shuld be a seperate script for non creditcard orders! Like VALIDATE_CASH_ORDER,   When checking out, on the first screen, or on a seperate 2  or 1 the customer shuld be asked if he/she want to charge a card or pay COD, check, invoce or whatever,   If the customer want to pay by creditcard, the path is ok and ready. If the customer want other option, a seperate script  shuld be used for validation of order.   -When talking about the check out, I think it would be good to have the option for diferent shipping adress on a seperate screen. Which shuld only be shown if seperate shipping adress is requiered.   Maybe it would be worth considering to cut check up like this?:   1.    Shoppinglist for confirmation                    Please confirm order 2 .   Adresse and payment metod                   Give us your mail-adress and choose payment option 3.    A infoscreen on option for shipping gifts   Would you like to have all produkts to same adresse or difrent(s)       and selecting these options 4,    Shipping adresse(s) if needed- the works  Give us adresse(s)        on shipping and giftshipping 5,    Creditcardno if so selected                       Please hand over creditcardno and type and date 6.    Confirm/invoice screen                             Your invoice, thank you.   I think it would make it easy for the customer to understand and easyer for the store to give good information on diffrent options. The wishlist, giftwrap and gift shipping is so cool, but I think customers needs clear information on these to make the right selections. Smaller more focused screens makes it easy to put needed info.   What do you think Leon. Is this on target, or am I way off?     Bjarne Hansen Oslo Norway
