adding a simple order form to woocommerce

  • Anyone got a suggestion for an online order form for a company with 30 products.

    Built him a woocommerce store – after several years now he doesn’t like it, believes his customers hate it, he would like a simpler solution.
    Added WooCommerce One Page Checkout – for the simpler solution – but he doesn’t like that either because of the refresh to the top of the form when you add a product to your cart, and believes it would challenge his customers

    Needs
    – no payment gateway – as its retailers buying
    – items bought to be output in email in a very particular order – not alphabetical
    – simplest layout possible – prefebly all products on one page

    any ideas?

  • I have a plugin that does one-page order forms for WooCommerce:

    https://orderform-woo.webaware.net.au/example-forms/all-products-on-one-form/

    It’s a two-page checkout, i.e. order form submits to checkout page. That meets your last requirement.

    For the first requirement, just use the Cheque Payments gateway and change the settings to something appropriate. Run through an order on my demo page (above) and you’ll see what I mean — it’s set up with exactly that.

    Off the top of my head, not sure about the middle requirement. Probably something easy enough to do with a filter hook though.

    cheers,

    The refresh shouldn’t be throwing customers off that much. I mean, when they add to cart they are already at the top of the page, no? And there is a notice that it has been added to your order, plus they are still on the same page…

    That said, with some custom code you could perhaps prevent this, or send them down to the checkout form area after the refresh.

    items bought to be output in email in a very particular order – not alphabetical

    How is this order defined? Need a meta value or something to sort them by. Can’t just be a made up order in their head. Here is a guide on sorting them alphabetically: https://www.skyverge.com/blog/sort-woocommerce-order-items-alphabetically/. It can be adjusted to sort somehow else though.

    simplest layout possible – prefebly all products on one page

    Using one page checkout you could have all products on one page. If your using the traditional shop page though, then you can make sure all products are on one page with this filter: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/change-number-of-products-displayed-per-page/
