Hi
I would like my customers to go straight to Checkout after selecting a product. However, the cart goes to an order page. This is a redundant field because, one, if you pay by credit card you will have to fill in the info again, two, it sends emails to the buyer telling them to pay when they have already paid (I received two instantly, even though I had paid via PayPal, when I ordered Quick Cart but had to wait ages for the download info, which is what I expect my customers want and not an order form). I would like to make the buying process less painful.
Also, I have not been able to get rid of " » Adverise" and the NGT.pl graphic. How do I do that? I have searched the manual and not found any hits.
Examaids - for me it is too complicated or maybe it is too late ... maybe some screenshots or something to help understand?

Hi -- I don't think that's a good idea. I'm trying to make the experience painless. Instructions will have the opposite effect.
I have just tried the test shop I setup yesterday. It's totally different to the one I used to buy Quick Cart. My main problem with that was the notification to pay was sent too quickly and a reminder a few minutes later, which I found was unnecessary. However, I was taken to the PayPal page. My test shop just sends me an order notification! I had assumed the standard version will be the same. How do I configure it to go to the PayPal page automatically so that the buyer can pay for the items?
One more question: in Admin it asks for "Token for PayPal system (only for IPN)" Where do I get the token? The only token PayPal issue that I aware of is a PDT token used for Auto Return after payment is completed on PayPal. I have included it but it doesn't make any difference because PayPal isn't enabled.
I have selected PayPal for "Payment using outer system" in Admin. BTW, that should be something like: Select payment gateway.
Hi, i dont know if i fully undestand what you whant to do with your cart, for now paypal works after order is send and you want that users should by redirected to paypal when they click "add to basket" button? If yes you should change form in file templates/products_details.tpl to that from file templates/payment.tpl from block PAYMENT_FORM_3 and change value in its fields.

Hi Wewior -- That sounds like a job for a PHP guru. I can live with the a buyer NOT being sent straight to PayPal after filling their cart. The order form threw me at first but after more thinking it can come in handy when someone orders a hard product, such as a CD.
The bigger problems I have with the cart is, one, how to make it go automatically to the PayPal site to pay after ordering and, two, how to cancel the notification to pay if a user is given the choice to pay once of the enabled payment gateways. I say that because when I bought the cart I was taken to the PayPal site where I paid. However, while I was paying, I received TWO emails saying you were waiting for me to pay. That's very offputting. If a user decides to pay by one of the payment gateways, then the cart shouldn't send emails asking for payment. Sending emails should be tied with payment gateway somehow. Don't you see a problem with the current behaviour?
Going back to problem one, I have enabled PayPal in Admin but NOTHING happens after the order is sent. The cart doesn't take me to the PayPal site to pay and download as expected. So, how to I enable automatic payment by PayPal (as per the demo) and two, how do I delay the order email notification?
I suspect the latter is either a feature request or requires a lot of PHP knowledge but in either case I wouldn't like to use the cart without that option. It will just drive customers away. I know it would drive me away from a shop that hassled for payment when I had already paid.
