Simplify user registration

[[email protected]]

I'd like to simplify user registration. We don't need address as we will only be selling e-books, so we only need email. We don't even actually need user name - this is all up to payment processing systems whether they need it and we will only use payment aggregators.

Is it possible to turn off address information requirements from sign-in and checkout process?

Hi,

Me too - customers are going to balk at having to give up all that info.

Did you ever find out how to remove address from registration requirements?

Hi,

Back Office -> Customers --> Set required fields for this section (at the bottom of customer page)

 

Select the field you want to keep mandatory.(Presta 1.4.9)

It only offers the ones that are not required to select. All my products are digital so would really like to remove steps not needed. Only really need email and name thats it.

edit the authentication.tpl file in your themes folder. just delete or hide the aspects you don't need.

I am pretty quick to learn and have edited plenty of code. However never attempted this in with tpl file and it doesn't offer edit in my file manager only download. Any advice from here would be helpful. Thanks

mattlasvegas: do you have Adobe Dreamweaver? You can edit .tpl files with that, it's what I do. I'm sure there are other programs - free ones - you can do it with. It'll probably be some sort of web design program - have a look for free web coding software or something. HTH.

You cannot edit that out of a template file. Well, you can, but it will give you an error. You have to edit it out of the controller.
