Hi Folks, Does anyone know why my checkout button is looping back to the cart? I have paypal selected in the payment method. Im hoping this is a simple fix as Im a complete noob. The answers on the other posts does not happen to fix my issue.

My versions are below:

Site: www.ibile.ca
VirtueMart 3.0.18
Joomla! Version   Joomla! 3.6.2 Stable [ Noether ] 4-August-2016 23:41 GMT
Joomla! Platform Version   Joomla Platform 13.1.0 Stable [ Curiosity ] 24-Apr-2013 00:00 GMT

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot GJC.

I fixed the address page at check out by removing the template overrides - renaming the com_virtuemart folder in joomlaRoot/yourTemplate/html/ .

The Loop still remains with the error message "Message - Please register to checkout"

Thanks again for taking the time.

Probsbly this:  In Joomla user options turn on  Allow User Registration  - in new Joomla versions it is disabled by default.

Thanks alot Folks.

I think i found the problem: a simple click of a button, im so embarassed to share:

In the settings I had the following

On checkout, ask for registration   - Not checked

Only registered users can checkout    - Checked


So I simply unchecked "Only registered users can checkout" - becasue I dont want to store up customer's info and everything is golden!

Thank you very much.

On Second thought, is it possible to make registeration optional? So shoppers can either register or checkout as guest if they dont want to register.?

jenkinhill

Yes, turn on On checkout, ask for registration, leave Only registered users can checkout deselected and ensure Joomla registration is allowed. The the choice is offered to register or checkout as guest.
