[ADDED] v1.5.0 - Option to print order

[denny]

After order is placed the order should be shown to the customer with a order# so they have an option to print it out.

I agree, A final invoice page for the users and Admin to print. Good for users because I people like to have a reciept and not just a e-mail. Good for the admin because you can print it out and send it with the orders!

What would you guys prefer - something that basically looks the same as the form they see at checkout, minus the buttons (update cart, etc), with a message at the top saying "Print this receipt for your records...blah blah blah...."
OR
something very simple - just a text message with the overall details of the order, no pics, nothing fancy? Either way is just as easy to do. What would be better?

[rcooper]

I would go for a nice design that incorporateds the store look to it. I will attach a pic of my last cart's invoivc for an idea. .

This would probubly mean creating a new invoive page for each order. But it will give you a nice place to add your shipping status. (pending payment, processing, shipped, and so on)

Most likley you would send the url to the page in the e-mail sent so customers can check there order, or have a place to see past orders like Amazon does. :P What do you think?

[Jamie]

I agree. I think something like that would be good, and would also definitely send a link in the order confirmation email. I would also like the user to be able to login, and see order history, and be able to click a link to each order. BTW - Looks like Merchant Order Form! I used them before I started this cart a while back. They had no inventory, and I had already made pages to generate the forms to submit to the cart. I then figured if I went that far, I might as well just make an entire cart! I just started over from scratch after that. Thanks for the input!

[rcooper]

Yep it is MOF! I wanted something better with invatory control and a more dynamic way of doing things!

Has there been any updates on this? I would very much like to display an Order Confirmation / Receipt on screen for my users that shows their complete order, where it will be shipped, etc..

I have already pulled out a bunch of the information I want on the receipt page via the $order arrays, but don't know exactly how to get the order items to show. I would very much like to have something similar to the cart page for the customers to print out.

[jworkman]

I went ahead and made my own modifications to display an order confirmation page to my customers. Since we do not charge customers until after confirmation of product availability / shipment dates (items some times are out of stock) I modified the payment gateways to handle both the authorization (credit cards) and to display the order confirmation page to my users.

I was not sure of your policy towards releasing 'code hacks' such as this and as such have not posted any of the information on how to modify the software to do this. I do think allow users to post 'hacks' may be beneficial to development of squirrelcart as it allows community participation in it's development as well as saves you time in developing functionality from scratch. Just my humble opinion. I've gotten very used to 'hacking' web software products from my use of UBB and VBulletin.

Anyways, Here's a screen shot of the confirmation page that is displayed to the customer after they checkout:

There has been a little talk on this topic. Has anyone or can anyone send me information on how to add printing an invoice (customer) to the SC code.
