Is it possible to create multiple checkout pages for WooCommerce?
The reason is that I want to customize many things on the checkout pages (eg. graphics, text, offers and popups) depending on the products that a user chooses.
While I can do these all on a single page, it would be a lot easier to organize them in separate pages.
What I have tried
I tried the various solutions listed here but none of them worked:
Woocommerce Multiple Checkout Pages
Thanks.
From what I understand you are trying to create multiple checkout pages templates in order to use them depending on certain conditions.
At first glance you could try overriding the WooCommerce templates.
Please note that the consensus is to avoid having an overly complex checkout process, as a poorly designed checkout user experience will negatively affect the conversion rate.
If you provide more details about the conditions you are trying to work with it might make it easier to help you find a solution.

I found a issue with woocommerce and variable products.
The products works good on the frontend but If I try to do the same from the backend, I can't selected the variations that I want.
I just can add a meta (It's an input text field) and this is very limited.
Can I fix this with a hook/function or plugin?
Really need help.
Thanks,
Your question is somewhat difficult to understand. Are you asking if you can change the combination of variations for a product on the backend after an order has been made?
I have only ever been able to do such a thing, in certain situations from within fulfillment software (ShipStation in my case), and even then it's no simple task. The reason likely being due to the fact that WooCommerce essentially locks the order after payment, as a failsafe to the customer probably.
My products are custom or single-availability items.
I just need to be able to add and update a ton of products quickly.
My current ecommerce shopping cart is too complicated.
I only have a few products. I don’t even need an e-commerce shopping cart, I just need an online catalog.Friends, i need to create simply catalog of products with categories, images of products but without any payment system. Do you know PHP based, simple CMS for that purpose?
Try Wordpress. It can be used as a CMS system easily, with lots of addons for things like user rating, etc. You can also have multiple users, and they can add comments and such.
Oh, and it's open source too! :)
Right, I am having a nightmare.
We have been using a service called Fat Free Cart (which has so far been rather good) to build our new eCommerce website.
http://www.fatfreecart.com/
http://www.designti.me/testing/flipstick/index.php
And we have come to the point where we are looking to add postage options.
To my knowledge you cant do this with Fat Free Cart (but if you can then any help would be appreciated)
Can anybody else recommend a cart that is as simple to set up and use as FatFreeCart?
I need to be able to just copy in a line of code where I need to put a buy or Cart button and I also need to be able to get a drop down box with different postage options.
It sounds like FatFreeCart is keeping it's promises, but your application needs more features that go beyond it's scope. I like this "spartan" e-shop very much. It is great for promotion of simple items in any site.
What you could do, would be to set up a "real" e-commerce application, since you are PHP oriented, like osCommerce, Magento or VirtuaMart. Virtuemart is an addon for Joomla. All three offer you a full range of features and a full back-office administrator application that will allow you to make offers, define discount periods and pricing according to criteria like number of items ordered etc.
Now, you can keep your nice website and link your products straight to the appropriate items of the eshop instead of adding FatFreeCart links. This way the user will proceed to complete the purchase.
The other option would be join the E-Junkie.com team and extend FatFreeCart to do what
you think is missing. You should be aware to keep it fat free after the add ons.
I just almost bought a Flipstick...
I'd like to add some functionality to the comparing feature Magento offers. When comparing products, users are presented with an 'Add to cart' button. This feature only works well for simple products. When pressing the add to cart button on a configurable or bundled product the user is redirected to the product detail, out of the compare view.
Would it not be much better when a user could configure the products inside the compare view?!
Do you guys know of a magento plugin that does this trick? Or have ideas how this feature could be implemented in the existing source?
This is something that comes up from time to time as I develop Magento sites. The gist of the problem is this: the logic for dealing with configurable/bundle/etc products is not simple. The JS code that was written to handle this convoluted logic is written is such a way that multiple products on the same page cannot be accomodated.
So, to do what you want, the first thing to do is to simplify your products down significantly. The brunt of the complexity is dealing with multiple configurable attributes and changing pricing, etc. After that, you'll need to rewrite the configurable product JS to set up the submit form properly. Once you get the right data submitted, you should be pretty safe.
Hope that gives you a hint!

I am building a site using code igniter. I am developing a custom product catalog using php and mysql.
What is the best way to go about making those products purchaseable online. I thought about writing my own cart, but I am a little worried about how much time that would take.
Most carts I come across online are full fledge inventory systems carts / a whole web site basically. I want to be able to really have full control.
What do you think my better options are? Any advise is welcome!
Don't be afraid of building your own. A shopping cart is a solved problem and there are many, many examples on the net. Just define your requirements carefully before you start: do items in the cart persist between sessions? What happens when an item in cart is no longer available for sale, etc.
If you want to have full control but be able to customize how users have that control, building it yourself is probably the only way to go. Depending on the amount of control you wanted to have, it could be very time consuming.
Search for shopping cart systems online and you can find lists like:

Many have demos available that let you try before you download, and if you find something with all the features you want already, problem solved.
