Edit checkout and remove one step

[johnph]

hi guys!

in my shop I offer free ship for all products and for all country... 'cause of that I want to remove the STEP 4 from the checkout process... since the step 4 is for choosing shipment method... and I always send for free.... how can I do that? the terms and conditions checkbox can be gone too or integrated in step 3.. ty!

Just saw this when researching my own problem... Maybe this is still helpful for ya:

 

To disable Terms and conditions in the Admin area go to

 

Preferences -> Orders -> Terms of Service

 

you can turn off this step right there.

 

I recommend you chose the one page checkout, select this also under this section in the admin area (Order process type).

 

Once you have a one page checkout, you can go to your theme directory and find 

"order-opc.tpl".

 

 

 

Mine looks like this:

	{if $productNumber}
		<!-- Shopping Cart -->
		{include file="$tpl_dir./shopping-cart.tpl"}
		<!-- End Shopping Cart -->
		
		{if $is_logged AND !$is_guest}
			{include file="$tpl_dir./order-address.tpl"}
		{else}
			<!-- Create account / Guest account / Login block -->
			{include file="$tpl_dir./order-opc-new-account.tpl"}
			<!-- END Create account / Guest account / Login block -->
		{/if}		
		{if $cart->isVirtualCart() == false}
			<!-- Carrier -->
			{include file="$tpl_dir./order-carrier.tpl"}
			<!-- END Carrier -->
		{/if}
		<!-- Payment -->
		{include file="$tpl_dir./order-payment.tpl"}
		<!-- END Payment -->
	{else}
		{capture name=path}{l s='Your shopping cart'}{/capture}
		<h2 class="page-heading">{l s='Your shopping cart'}</h2>
		<p class="alert alert-warning">{l s='Your shopping cart is empty.'}</p>
	{/if}

As far as I can think this should be the "default" setup, no matter what theme you have unless it's super customized.

 

so just get rid of this line:

{include file="$tpl_dir./order-carrier.tpl"}

 

Of course you'd have to try it out, possibly you get into some issues with order validation ("please select a carrier!") Of course you can just create your own "free shipping" carrier and leave it as the only option, so it should default to that.

 

Good luck!
