      Hello,

       

      I'm trying to setup so that anyone that has registered and purchased on my site does not need to register again the next time they wish to buy another product/service, all they need to do is login.

       

      However, it does not seem that BC eCommerce has this functiionality or I've been unable to locate or set it up correctly.

       

      Any help would be appreciated.

       

      Thanks & Regards

      Said

          Actually you can do this by just letting customers register/login and purchase. Upon checkout, they can either login as member, and all the details like shipping and billing will be auto populated based from their account. Or, they can login as guests where they will input their details everytime they make a purchase.

            How can you do this? I'm working on a store and I need the "checkout" button to take useres to a login screen if they are not already logged in, then once they login to re-direct them back to the cart. It's very basic store functionality that catalysit is seeming to not have. I'm very confused. This has been a days and days search to get this to work.

             

            There are also NO registration form options. All there is, is the ability to create "secure zones" but no way to register for the site in general.... Please help!

              You need to manually create a registration form by adding in fields needed to register like Name, Email, Username, Password, etc.

               

              You will need to customize the checkout page by adding 3 buttons

              1. Checkout as Guest

              2. Login to checkout

              3. Register an account

               

              Do all these under the checkout layout by using <div>'s and some CSS hide/show

               

              You can do a javascript to check if the customer is already loggedIn by using the isLoggedIn module by BC and it works something like, if customer is logged in, display this, if not, display that...

                Hey Josh--

                 

                Here's some more information about setting up secure zones and login forms to login to those secure zones you create:
