I will put some screen shots of the new checkout page here, along with an explanation.

First off, I want to apoligize for the State missing from a lot of the address book entries.   Rest assured, as far as I know, this was the only info that was lost during this upgrade process.

 If during checkout you do not see your State listed in your address, please edit the address by using the buttons.  A small window will open to edit your address book.  It is very easy.  Enter the coupon code “statemissing” and get $1 off any 1 order.  If you have a few address’s that need changing let us know.

Now let’s just start from the top and work our way down.  The next screen shot is if you go to checkout without signing in.

Here is a screen shot if you are signed in and click on checkout.  Notice the shipping price is in the shopping cart at the top of the page.  You can also edit quantities or delete items from your cart here.

Next we have the Payment info box and the total as well as the continue button.  Just enter payment info, confirm the billing address for the card being used is shown in the billing address, and click continue to complete the order.  All on the same page!

I have the retail store newly updated and running with the new One Page Checkout!

The store runs faster too!  Checkout on one page, edit quantities in cart, delete items from cart, enter coupon codes or Gift Vouchers, create account or log in, confirm shipping address, enter payment info, enter comments and then just 1 click to confirm the order.

I have been getting a test version of our estore catalog updated to run smoother and have one page check out, like I have done to our Wholesale store.  I am almost ready to install the updated version, I just need to get all the files backed up in case something goes wrong.

I may wait until Early Thursday morning to do the switch, since I have coffee to roast today!  Besaides I have learned to not hurry while doing web site work, too many things to double check!  If I get done roasting before noon I may do the move today, but not too likely.

I have the Wholesale store upgraded and updated, with the One Page Checkout now running!  Let me know if anything goes wrong or better!

Update 6:28 AM Jan 28th

I have it running!!!!!  We now have a One Page Checkout on the wholesale store!!!!!  No orders but my test ones yet, but let me know if you have any troubles or better yet let me know that it went smoothly too!

Update Jan 28 2010

I am uploading the new catalog to the wholesale store this morning!  I hope to have it running by 6:00AM

I have been VERY busy upgrading our wholesale store.  You won’t see any changes yet.  All the work I have done is on testing databases, so I couldn’t goof up the live store.  I have my new Store ready to launch for the Wholesale store very soon, I hope this week yet!

What this will do:

1. One Page Checkout!!!    Yes, just one page to see your cart, shipping options and enter coupon codes or redeem vouchers as well as enter payment info!
2. Faster running site!  I have streamlined some of the behind the scenes stuff that will speed up the entire wholesale store!  Both stores when I get the Retail store done.

Watch for updates here, in the comments as well as on this page.

I did a couple of movies this morning of me roasting coffee.  I am using our USRC 12 kilo roaster that I have connected to a laptop.  They are not the greatest videos out there but I am a coffee roaster, not a cameraman!  Visit our YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/ourcoffeebarn I will also embed at least one video on this post too.

Thank You!  to those of you who have ordered!  If you haven’t ordered yet, check out our email archive for the details.

The sale will start Wednesday night and end Friday morning.  For Fridays roasting.

It has been a whiles since we have done a one day only sale on 1 coffee, so we are going to try it again later this week.  Come back to this post for sneak peeks into it’s possiblities or to make suggestions!

I will be starting my roaster up soon today.  The schedule looks like about 5 or 6 hours of roasting today.  Phone calls will most likely go to voicemail while I am roasting, we will return calls as we can as the day goes on.
