Magento multi-step checkout - magento

The problem is that when i disable One page checkout, the Proceed button is gone. My installation is 1.9.2 Community Edition. I've tried to enable that button from link.phtml but get the message "The Unilateral payment transaction is disabled"

Answer: You don't. What you do is disabeling the Magento Module Mage_Checkout_Onepage
Magento comes with one stock checkout, the infamous OnePage. There are many distributers of neat (and shitty) checkouts, mostly called OneStepCheckout or SingleStepCheckout. I suggest you find yourself a good one and buy it, because a decent checkout is a major difference between gaining and losing customers.
This guy had a similar question about disabeling the magento onepage checkout

Okay this is how i do it. I log in into admin panel, than i do:
1) System -> Configuration -> Sales -> Checkout -> Enable one page checkout "No" (because i wanna use multi-step checkout option)
Admin checkout settings
2) Add some product to cart and when i view content of the cart and proceed to checkout the button " Proceed to checkout" is missing.

Magento checkout stuck with Submitting Order Information (using custom theme )

Magento checkout stuck with “Submitting Order Information”
Magento Version Magento ver. 1.9.0.1
The entire process works in the checkout (Billing info, shipping info, shipping method, etc.) except when one finally decides to submit the order, (hit "place order” button) it just hangs at "submitting order information”. After sitting there for a few minutes, the shopper will be returned to the shopping cart, and the order never makes it through!
I hope and assume others have had the same problem? How to fix it? I’m worried that it might be the theme because I’ve haven’t had much luck finding the solution on the internet. (2checkout extension i m using for payment )
Just downgrade your extension version to 2.3.3

VirtueMart Custom Checkout steps

i need help editing VirteuMart 2.0.10 checkout steps. Instead of the default stuff, all i need is to collect user information such as name, address, phone number etc along with the details of items in the shopping cart. Then display information to the user about how they can payment via a local mobile money solution.
I need it to be this way because there are currently no VM plugins or extensions for the said payment solution. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure if this is what you are after, but if you are looking to remove the "checkout bar" with the 1-2-3-4 steps on checkout, this is simple to do in settings.
Go to Admin > Configuration. Select the "Checkout" tab. Unselect the "Enable the Checkout Bar" option, and select the options directly below that you wish to enable upon checkout.
Hope this helps :)

Why is Magento forcing me to log in before I can add a product to cart?

I'm developing an ecommerce site using Magento v. 1.7.0.2 and for some reason,
every time I try to add a product to cart on the front end, the system requires
that I log in before it will let me add it.
I have Guest Checkout enabled and none of my test products are downloadable.
Interestingly, it only happens on Windows. I clear the cache in all my browsers on Windows
and try it and I get the log in / register screen whenever I try to add a product to cart.
If I test it on the Mac, though, it works perfectly.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
Many thanks!
Cynthia
It depends:
on your config if guest checkout is enabled from system > configuration > checkout
on your products, if they are downloadable then they only can be purchased by registered users
Well, I solved the problem. Believe it or not, it was a CSS error on my part.
I had the wishlist link div overlapping the add to cart button, in effect
covering it up w/ the wishlist link.
So while it looked like I was clicking on Add to Cart, I was actually adding
the item to my wishlist, which cannot be done w/o being a logged in, registered
user.
Sigh...big DOH! on my part.
The moral of this story is: always check your code!

Paypal Express option is missing at checkout - Magento 1.4.2

I've copied new Paypal and Checkout template folders into my site from all sorts of magento versions, and I still can't get the icon to show at my checkout. It works on a few other sites I've created.
Does anyone have any ideas why I can't get any instance of paypal express to show up on my site? I want it mainly in the checkout/cart area-
Magento 1.4.2
Things I have checked:
Base Currency is USD.
Replaced all files in Checkout(template) folder with different version, no changes.
Replaced all files in Paypal(template) folder with different version, no changes.
Replaced XML files for Checkout/Paypal with Newer, and older versions.
Verified my Paypal Express (and paypal pro) settings in the backend, these are identical to another working installation I have.
My head aches from this. Any ideas?
I have found a temporary solution to this issue-
I added the express checkout button myself in the checkout, and linked it to http://www.mydomain.com/paypal/express/start/
If they have items in their cart, this URL will proceed into the paypal express checkout.
Hope this helps someone out there.
I'm not completely aware about Paypal Express but in your configuration, the value of "Enable Paypal Guest Checkout" is set to "No".
During the checkout process, at the cart page, the customer may not be yet logged, then Paypal is not shown. But if you are already logged, I think it will be shown.
If you set the config to yes, guest customer could use it but they won't create an account or log in ! Depends on your needs!

paypal express (or any express option) - magento - "terms and conditions"

UPDATED
(Option One):
In magento, at Step 6 of One Page Checkout you see Terms and Conditions.
Now the problem:
Using PayPal Express Checkout (or any express option e.g. Amazon Payments, Google Checkout) there is no Terms and Conditions for the user to agree to.
I need to:
A. Call Magento "Terms and Conditions" block into a modal window (i don't know how + might be too intrusive?)
B. use -- fake -- express checkout buttons and fake/not-magento-native "Terms and Conditions" on Cart Page that user must agree to - before proceeding to: any Express Checkout.
Goal:
User clicks and any express checkout option on cart page >
User encounters popup that has "Terms and Conditions" they must agree to >
Until they agree (probably via ticking a check-box) the real express checkout button is grayed out (or something similar) >
User agrees and then the real express checkout button is active >
User clicks express button and completes express checkout.
go to:
http://pro-tools-training.com/new-magento2/index.php/highslide#
My question is about how to swap the real express checkout buttons on the cart page for fake ones (just images with some sort of onclick event) and then how to place the real express checkout buttons in the popout.
--
(Option Two):
here is another option I am looking at.
i created a static block with a Terms form and assigned a Widget to “PayPal Review Order page”
OK so it shows up but of course its in the wrong place and it does not interact with the Place Order button.
Pros: could work for paypal
Cons: at this point, it’s not an obvious solution for other express checkout buttons
so my fist post tries to address this before hand and this post tries to address it at the last stage.
Option 2 appears too limited. I am now looking closer at option one.
...any feedback helpful
UPDATE THREE:
I'm sure there are many other ways to do this but I came up with this if it will help anyone out there.
go to this page:
http://pro-tools-training.com/new-magento3/index.php/html5-video.html
add to cart > got to cart > click paypal express button
and see i made a popout for express buttons
In general, you can see the code with firebug but it is just (highslide based)
JavaScript firing a popout and the popout contents are written in shortcut.phtml (for paypal exress) and each express button type has its own .phtml file that is similar (e.g. googlecheckout i used link.phtml).
OPEN ISSUES:
1. On iPhone (my iPhone anyway) the popout launches but the checkout buttons are missing. SOLVED: All I needed to do was adjust the width in the js config and the width of the text area in the html.
I want to make the same "terms and conditions" on onestep checkout page - but not a popout. i want it hidden unless the user clicks the paypal radio button. then it appears - in page - and is required to proceed.
any tips?
I think this problem is solved in the Magento 1.11.2.0: After the PayPal page, the T&Cs are displayed on the order review page.
