Was this information Helpful?

Hi there,

Is it not possible to check out with javascript disabled?
I've given it a shot in the Ubercart demo (http://livetest.ubercart.org/uc2), and this appears to be the case.

The fields for entering credit card information do not display, nor do the shipping options, thus throwing an error when you hit the 'review order' button.

Can this really be? Can somebody confirm or deny?

Thanks for your help,
molly

You are Correct.

With Ubercart, we really wanted one page checkout and couldn't effectively do it without javascript.
According to http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp 95%-95% of browsers have javascript enabled. My experience of actual users on actual e-commerce sites is more like 99%.
Experience and reasearch has shown that one page checkout reduces cart abandonment by upwards of 20%.
We think that losing 1% to gain 20% was a reasonable compromise.
Cheers,
Andy

Re: You are Correct.

Is it possible to disable the checkout page entirely and display a warning when a user tries to checkout without JS enabled?

Re: Re: You are Correct.

In the checkout instructions, you can put a message like this:

<noscript>Please enable Javascript to checkout.</noscript>

and it will appear at the top of the page if JS is disabled.

Re: Unable to check out with javascript disabled

Surely postage is calculated via php, and simply called by the js ? why then can postage not be calculated simply when the "Review your order" page loads ?

Re: Unable to check out with javascript disabled

I dont have the time right now to look into this, is there anyone who would be willing to investigate and even create a module for the world to share even at a possible fee ?
