Hello, I am still trying to setup a shop for a florist and would like to add a page between the cart summary and the Paypal checkout. The form would be for delivery information ( Name/ Address/ Delivery Date ) and message for the enclosure card. It would flow like this :

Cart Summary > Form Page > Paypal Gateway Site

At the bottom of the form page would be a submit button that would send the form via email and also would send the customer to the Paypal site. Is this possible or even make sense?

Thanks
David T.

hiya David,

that is not possible with the software at this time. We are hoping in a future update that the SCC Pro software will include a way for customization text to be entered, but at this time there is nothing that can be done to accommodate what you are asking for. The only solution you can do with SCC is to put a form on your product details page or any other page that you can redirect them to from maybe your reply email for their order so they can then fill out the customization information. Always this will be a separate entity from the cart itself until such a date when CC hopefully adds this feature for us.

Thanks Jo Ann,
I guess this is not going to be as easy as I thought. I am a bit confused about your suggestion about putting the delivery form on on the product detail page. Could you point me in the right direction as how to do that? Would the customer be able to enter the delivery info and be directed to the checkout page or the Payment page (ie. Paypal/Google checkout etc.) after the info is emailed to the florist?
I am sure there will be more questions.

Again, Thank You

Hiya David,

Well as I said, there is no connection that can be made with the form that can direct you anywhere at all other than whatever page you have it setup to in the form for the redirect. You cannot have it redirect to the payment processor as this has to be done via the checkout as it normally would be in the cart system.

What I suggest is to add a form to the details page (you can copy and paste the code to each of your products that needs the form pretty easily). The form would be submitted separate from the purchase since the submit of the form would have no bearing on the ordering process at all, no connection there between them. You would probably have to figure out how to redirect them to their order or a page that wouldn't get them messed up in their ordering process.

That's about the best I can think of, and that's what many people are doing to battle this issue for now. Not a perfect solution, but a doable one.

Although I don't include customization features on my site, you can check out my shop and in most of the African products you'll see a form for asking if the customer wants to be notified when something is restocked. Just an example of how a form can be added to the product page:

My form just redirects them back to the home page, haven't worked out how to keep them on the same page they are on yet lol. Anyways, just an example on how a form is added to the details page.

Hi Me Again, I am not sure if this will work in the real world but I figured I would give it a shot and run it by the people that know more about it. I created a form and put it on the checkout page that the customer would fill out for delivery instructions and card message. When the customer submits the form they are directed back to the checkout page where they would proceed to the payment gateway. I set it up in a subfolder on my site and it worked. My question would it work in the real world?

Best way to test that is to ... test it PayPal also does have a Sandbox setup that allows you to test your shop. Not sure how it all works but there's other posts on the forums that have a lot more info about that. Try searching the forums here for Sandbox and you should find lots of info on it.

I do like the idea you're working with though, sounds like a feasible way to try it.

Is the sub folder on your site in the real world?

No need to use PP sandbox. Just create an item that costs a penny and go through the checkout.

Yes Tom it is in the real world I did not think of that, I will give it a shot Thanks.

Definitely keep us posted, there are others that would LOVE to see a workaround for this desirable feature.

OK, Tested it live and it works. I will have to sit and write down how I actually got it to work and let everyone know. The shop was far from ready so I have to go and take it down now.
