More ways to speed up the Joomla Virtuemart Checkout process

in addition to my One page Virtuemart checkout blog. I've also realised that having the customer have to confirm their account is a complete pain.

Afterall it means they have to open up there email and click on it. This could be considerable amount of key pushes and clicks, equalling lost time.



To get rid of this you need to go into your admin

>site -> global configuration

>> under 'User settings' click on 'no' next to 'New Uset Account Activation


you can now check this in Virtuemart

> components -> virtuemart

> 'admin' on the left menu and click on 'configuration'

> under 'User Registration Settings'

> 'Joomla!: New account activation necessary? ' should be no.


ANOTHER QUICK TIP TO SPEED UP VIRTUEMART CHECKOUT

> also under 'User Registration Settings'

> I've changed 'User Registration Type' to 'Optional Account Creation' - if you sell a product where customers wouldn't be coming back then you may want to turn that off altogether.
