How to Configure the Checkout Process of Guests in Odoo 17 Website App

Functional Odoo 17

E-commerce platforms help businesses expand their markets, boost revenues, and enhance brand awareness. They involve planning, data collection, design, assembly, coding, testing, and maintenance. The Odoo Website Module is an ERP platform that allows users to create, develop, and maintain websites without coding knowledge. The platform offers features for businesses of all sizes, including attribute and variant setup, multi-sites, and a B2B store. It also provides automated tax rates, a real-time dashboard, customer portals, a built-in search bar, a wishlist, a checkout procedure, payment acquirers, a shipping cost calculator, and shipping partners. It also allows customers to add desired products to their wishlist, expedites shipping, and tracks orders.

Configuring the Shop-Checkout Process Settings

Odoo boasts a user-friendly interface, facilitating seamless shopping experiences through the Odoo Website Module. Installation of the website module from the Odoo platform enables users to initiate shopping directly from the homepage. Configuration of website requirements, e-commerce, and shopping site settings can be performed via the Configuration menu within the Website platform.

The Shop-Checkout configuration options allow users to personalize the checkout and shopping cart processes. This includes configuring add-to-cart functionality, sign-in/up procedures, and other checkout-related features to tailor the online shopping interface according to specific preferences.

Within the Shop-Checkout settings category, various options are available, including.

* Add to Cart: Users have the choice of three scenarios upon clicking the add to cart button.

* Buy-New: Upon selection, this option immediately adds the product to the cart and redirects to the checkout page for payment processing.

* Digital Content: Users can include download links and post the checkout process.

* Re-order from Portal: Through the customer portal, clients can initiate new orders based on items from prior sales orders.

* Sign in/up at Checkout: This option permits customers to check out either as guests or signed-in users. Guests may later choose to sign up to track their orders if enabled.

* Extra Step during Checkout: During checkout, this feature will incorporate a customizable form rather than the address details as an extra step.

* Assignment: Assign the particular order to the designated online team and website.

Add to Cart

The "Add to Cart" functionality within the Shop-Checkout settings category offers users a range of options to tailor their shopping experience. 

To illustrate these scenarios, let's consider the purchase of a "Customizable Desk" product as an example. Upon selecting the product from the website's homepage, users are presented with the aforementioned options. If they choose to stay on the product page, they can continue browsing or add more items seamlessly. Conversely, opting to go directly to the cart allows for a swift checkout process. Finally, letting the user decide grants them control over their shopping journey.

Here's a detailed exploration of each option:

Stay on the Product Page

* If this is selected, buyers will remain on the product page even after selecting "Add to Cart." Their shopping cart will be subtly updated with the selected item.

* Customers can continue browsing and add more items to their cart without being redirected away from the product page.

Sign in/up at Checkout

Businesses may decide whether to ask consumers to sign in or create an account during the checkout process by adjusting the "Sign in/up at Checkout" settings in the Odoo website module. This feature makes transactions go more smoothly, improves the user experience, and aids in the development of customer relationships, order management, and shopping experience personalization for companies.

The ‘Sign in/up at checkout’ option can also be enabled from the ‘Shop-Checkout Process’ tab section of the Settings window. This feature provides three options, including Optional, Disabled, and Mandatory, as illustrated in the screenshot below.

* Mandatory: Online users must log in with their credentials to place orders, ensuring authentication and accountability.

Buy Now

Enabling the "Buy Now" option also expedites the checkout process by sending customers directly to the checkout page without requiring them to add anything to their shopping cart first. This is ideal for customers seeking a quick transaction.
