I could find out how the cart is updated in the onepage checkout process:
If the order has been saved, the customer is redirected to /checkout/onepage/success. The successAction of the onepage controller clears the shopping cart (to be precise: calls Mage::getModel(‘checkout/session’)->clear()).

Hi,
very useful article!
Saving the order works well. Hower, do I have to manually remove the ordered products from shopping cart?

Hi Branko, can you assist me with the following which is related to checkout:

What I am trying to do is the following:

When a customer orders a product, before he/she clicks on “proceed to checkout”, I would like to check to see if what the customer is trying to order has already been ordered by him/her before. If it has, I would like to display a message to the customer that he/she can’t order the product again. This should be done before the order actually gets saved in the database. The other part that I would like to check for is if the customer has more than 1 of the same item in the cart and give them a “you can only order 1 of these items” message.

I believe it should be possible, but I just don’t know php very well and I am still learning Magento.

Thanks for you help in advance.

Hi, thanks a lot for this tutorial. Actually I need to get total price for the whole order with shipping and taxes… But if I try to retrive this data from $this->getRequest()->getParam(’review’) on success page, there is only empty array. How can I get this total price via PHP or JS pls?

Hi,
How do I change the error message coming from the payment gateway e.g. Failed AVS Check: 10505-This transaction cannot be processed. It’s not the friendliest message and want to make it more informative.

About the paypal redirecting, I did a separate script that reads the session and manually redirects to paypal.

Thanks for this great tutorial,

Hello,

I want to combine onepage checkout and cart together. How do I add onepage checkout to my cart page, so that the user basically sees just one page and is required to do just a single click to place the order?

Thanks,
Garima

Thanks a lot for this article. It really helped me out. Although now I am having trouble in redirecting to Paypal after the order is placed. I replaced payment method with paypal_standard. In the worst case scenario I will make the sending data and redirection manually.

Thanks,
George

hi Branko. thank you very much for identifying these checkout methods. I am trying to build a custom checkout page, but when I call savePayment($payment) I get an error ‘Credit card number mismatch with credit card type’.

i am sending…

$payment["method"] = ‘plugnpay’;
$payment["cc_type"] = ‘MC’;
$payment["cc_number"] = ‘5105105105105100′;
$payment["cc_exp_month"] = ‘2′;
$payment["cc_exp_year"] = ‘2013′;
$payment["cc_cid"] = ‘123′;

This is a test cc and it works when I checkout via the default install. what am i missing? I can provide code and pay for answers too.

thanks,

Hi Branko,

thank you very much for great article about magento checkout. It is perfect! I have created my own checkout module based on it.

I have just one question – how should I redirect to the Payment gateway or checkout/onepage/success/ after submitting order?

I can give you my code if you want and also pay for the answer.

Excellent! Extremely concise, to-the-point and helpful! Thanks so much for taking the time that all of us developers should take to write down things as we learn them for each other to learn from… Awesome dude…

@Branko: cool thanks, it’s good to know the checkout page will work for everybody.
@Chinesedream: Nice, I’ll look into those. We actually managed to change the side nav to use jquery accordian and I’m hoping to replace all Prototype with jQuery (but it looks like a huge task).

If it brings you confusion then do not mess with it. This is advanced stuff, and poking around checkout if you do not understand the basis is a no no. Above article is a basis. Took me 6 days to wrote fully functional version as per client request, it has around 800 lines of code. I have no time, or wish, to explain that in detail. Besides, Margarita seems to be ok with it.

If you require such functionality, feel free to request a quote. Cheers…
