Skip Shipping Doesn’t Work!

I'm lost, and need help on this.

Running windows XP, frontpage 2002, salescart pro 3.82.

Trying to create a very simple website to sell design services, no shipping needed, nor desired, and the skip shipping questions feature does not work.

I have re-installed windows, office xp, and salescart and still I get the same results.

I run the new web wizard, click to omit shipping questions, and during checkout view1.asp is always followed by details1.asp.

Thinking this issue might be caused by the path to security certificate during setup wizard i changed the path to payment1.asp instead of details1.asp

This skips the shipping parts, but the cart information is not passed on to the confirmation page. only blank fields.

This is the first cart i have ever used salescart for that skips shipping, so i never noticed this issue.

FYI, clicking the omit payment box in the wizard does seem to work without updating ssl checkout path.

I have checked knowledge base and all help files, with no results.

The wizard, and all product features lead me to believe skipping shipping is easy to do, but it isn't. This is an error for sure.

Is this a problem with SQL? or X?

I'm thinking of upgrading, but this has me worried.

What am i missing?
What can i do?
Is this a bug?

I can live with everything in the checkout for now, but this is important.

This is straight from the salescart website:

Disabled Shipping From The Checkout System
Remove Shipping from Checkout With click of a button, you can remove the entire shipping section and related shipping questions from the SalesCart checkout process. Great for Service-based businesses where there is no shipping.

Hi Will, Thanks for the reply.

Yes, your correct. No matter what I do, I still land on details1.asp.

I thought to check the global.asa file too.
It seems to be set the correct way.

The global.asa has the Session("ChkShipping")=1

If I change Session ("ChkPayment") = 0,
to Session ("ChkPayment") = 1

Then the Payment portion is skipped, perfect.

However, No matter how the "ChkShipping" is set, it will not skip the shipping.

I have tried re-running the wizard, new webs, and i'm at a stand still.
any help is much appreciated.

Hi Will,

I'm trying to build a cart for my web design.

so I wish to skip the entire shipping sections from the checkout.

I wish to do, exactly what your product description says it will do:

Disabled Shipping From The Checkout System
Remove Shipping from Checkout With click of a button, you can remove the entire shipping section and related shipping questions from the SalesCart checkout process. Great for Service-based businesses where there is no shipping.

I entered the code you mentioned above.
It only skipped the shipping method page (shipping2.asp), it still goes to details1.asp first, which specifically asks for shipping info.

Is it not possible to skip the shipping questions as stated in your product description?

It seems ridiculous to go to the details1.asp page, asking for "shipping info", then go to payment page asking the same questions again, eventhough they might automatically be filled out.

A service check out should be:

viewcart/payment info/ confirmation/ receipt

Not:
viewcart/ shipping info/ payment info/ confirmation/ receipt


can this be done?
