• Let customers select the day and the time for order delivery;

Having troubles?

• Try disabling the extension and check if you're getting the same result with Magento default checkout. One Step Checkout is designed to be as transparent for other checkout-related extensions as possible, it will display the data “as-is”. So if you're getting suspicious results please compare them to what you get with One Step Checkout disabled.

• Some custom themes may have a custom design for blocks displayed on checkout. If you see blocks displaying incorrectly on One Step Checkout, please try switching to the Magento default theme. If it helps, that will mean that the theme should be adjusted to disable custom design for checkout blocks.

To configure the extension settings, please go to Stores → Configuration Amasty Extensions → One Step Checkout.

Expand the General tab.

Enable One Step Checkout - set to Yes to activate the extension.

Allow to Edit Products in the Order Summary - choose Yes to allow customers to delete products and change their quantity on the checkout page.

Enable JavaScript and HTML bundling and minifying for checkout page - set to Yes if you want to allow the extension speed up the checkout loading by minifying JavaScript and HTML code files. This way, when a customer refreshes the page, it will load noticeably faster.

Allow Guest Checkout - enable this option to let your customers fill in the checkout form and create accounts right on the checkout page.

Let Customers Create an Account at Checkout - select No to forbid the creation of accounts on the checkout page for your guest customers.
