The Magento front end relies heavily on caching to provide a faster experience to customer. This is a wonderful tool, but can wreak havoc during the installation process. To ensure that the cache is not the cause of any problems, we should turn it off. This can be done from the admin console by navigating to the cache management page (System->Cache Management), selecting all caches, clicking disable from the drop-down menu, and submitting the change.
2. Disable Compilation Mode
This may not be an issue for many readers, but if you are using Magentos compilation mode on your store, it is important that you remove it. Without going into to many details, compilation mode takes many files spread out over the system and condensing them into a single file that can be run very quickly. If an extensions files are not in the system when this single file is compiled, they will not be included. To check that this is disabled, go to System->Tools->Compilation. If the compiler status is Disabled, you are ready to go. If not, simply click the Disable button on the right hand side of the screen.
Choose An Installation Method
There are two different methods used to install extensions.The first involves taking advantage of the Magento Connect Manager, while the second involves manually installing the files via ftp or command line. The first option is generally used by store owners and is a relatively automated process, the problem is that if there is a problem with this process, you are at the mercy of the connect manager to tell you where the problem is coming from. Option two involves getting your hands on the files yourself and manually dropping them into the Magento installation.
Option 1: Using Magento Connect
Required Materials:
User account for Magento Connect
Magento Admin account with access to Magento Connect Manager
As stated before, this option is relatively easy to implement. The first step is finding the link on Magento Connect for the extension you wish to install. Once there click install now. If you are not currently logged into the site you will be prompted to do so. Next, select the version of Magento connect you are using (if in doubt, select 2.0), accept the extensions license agreement, and copy the extension key.
Log into your stores admin console and navigate to System->Magento Connect->Magento Connect Manager. At this point you will be prompted to re-enter your administrator credentials. In order to install an extension from the connect manager; you must have an account with full access to the administration console. If you were given limited access, Magento will not allow you to proceed. Once you are logged into the manager, simply paste the extension key into the text box and click install. A system window will appear towards the bottom of the page that will display the progress of your installation.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed the extension on your store. Be sure to test thoroughly before re-enabling the cache/compilation. If you found no problems both before and after these features have been re-enabled, you should be ready to repeat the installation process on your live site. DONT FORGET TO BACKUP ALL FILES AND DATABASES BEFORE INSTALLATION!
Option 2: Manual Installation
Required Materials:
All files used by the extension.
FTP access to your website.
The connect manager is a useful tool for installing extensions, but prefer hands-on method when it comes to installations. It feels more comfortable when you are personally in control of the process.
Do you see an app-code directory there, what about app-etc-modules? If you dont see these directory paths and files contained within them chances are that the extension download was faulty. Take a look at the package.xml file, this is the blueprint used by Magento Connect to arrange the files in the proper places. You may need to use this to ensure that everything is as it should be. Once you have reviewed the extension files you are ready to perform the last step. Using your ftp client, drag all of the files onto the store root of the Magento instance. Depending on the number of files in the extension, this may take a few moments.
Now go to the admin console and click Flush Cache Storage. This is the requirement for any extension that adds pages to the admin console. Logging out and back in is also required to ensure that everything loads properly. If you cannot clear the cache via the admin console for any reason, you will need to clear the cache manually via your FTP client (see the first FAQ question for assistance). That is the final step. Congratulations on a successful installation.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
I loaded all files onto my Magento store, and now get a white screen for some or all of the admin console.
This is a fairly common problem, and 99% of the time it is cache related. If you can get to it, go to System->Cache Management and click Flush Cache Storage. This will ensure that everything cached by Magento is deleted and will to be regenerated. Log out and back in to complete the process.
If you are completely cut off from the admin console, navigate to the var-cache directory of your website. You should see a series of directories named mage*. Delete all of these directories (DO NOT DELETE var-cache). This is the equivalent of flushing the cache storage from the admin console.
I am receiving a Magento error when accessing certain pages. How can I debug this?
This question really deserves a blog post all to itself, but a good start would be to go into the errors directory of your store. Locate the local.xml.sample file and rename it local.xml. The next time you see the error detailed information will be provided explaining where the error took place. Dont forget to change this back when you are finished troubleshooting!
I have a critical error with my webstore and need to turn off an extension I cannot access the admin console. What do I do?
Go to the app-etc-modules directory and open the file that goes with your extension. The naming convention is generally DeveloperName_ExtensionName.xml. In this case it would be Velsof_Supercheckout.xml.
Look for the active tags in the file, change the value from true to false and save your changes. This tells Magento that the extension is disabled and not to run any code associated to it. Deleting the Magento cache is recommended (and most likely required) for this change to take effect.

Whether it’s about site loading speed, website design, product display features, cart abandonment or a smooth visitor flow, all these elements constitute to design a website that appeals users and encourages conversions. Out of all these, one most important functionality that you just can’t even think about ignoring is your website’s CHECKOUT PAGE.
The goal of any eCommerce website is to convince customers for making a purchase. In order to convince customers, your prior efforts must be focused on your checkout page. A checkout page is one of those key elements which can either “˜break’ or “˜make’ the buying decision of shoppers on your store. Therefore, you need to ensure that a simple, clean and quick checkout page is available on your store.
One page checkout process reduces the time needed to check out as well as in collection of personal information. When customers will see that their eCommerce experience may be concluded on one page only, quickly and easily, they are more likely to complete the transaction.
Researches conducted in the past have revealed that on switching to a “One page checkout”, websites have increased sales up by almost 50%.
2. Guest Checkout-
Having One page checkout also gives an option of “guest login” wherein visitors can simply visit the site as guest and make their purchase anonymously. With this option, it becomes even more easier for shoppers to complete their purchase quickly without having to sign in or create an account. Sometimes customers get annoyed when asking for information before clearing the checkout and this would lead to lost of sales. A one page checkout works really well in that case as it provides options of social logins like Facebook or Google+. The super fast registration process encourages increasing number of sales and revenue for your website.
3. Lesser Pages-
Single page checkout allows all the necessary information you need from your customers to be inserted on a single page. Any information on a single page looks like you are not asking for as much as if you were to spread it across 3 or 4 pages. With lesser information segregated on a single page, it becomes more likely for customers to complete the transaction.
4. Reduced Abandoned Cart Rates-
Single checkout pages decreases abandoned cart rates as it requires lesser time to complete the overall process. According to a study, almost 42 percent of online shoppers actually abandon their shopping cart when asked to fill in lengthy registration forms, create and account or log in before checking out. So, in order to reduce cart abandoning issues, offering a one-step checkout will allow customers to finalize their purchase in just a few seconds.
With Prestashop’s One page checkout extension, you can design the overall checkout process in a single page. This plugin is featured with all those functionalities that will surely decrease cart abandonment rate and increase ROI for your business.
