Custom Checkout Steps For Magento 2

Magento 2 Custom Checkout Steps allows the admin to create special checkout steps that will be visible to the customer at the time of checkout.

Meanwhile, the customer needs to follow those steps in order to complete the checkout. This is a perfect feature for those store owners that are keen to obey customer demands.

Further, this module helps to add some particular steps in the product checkout process. Moreover, this feature will also amaze the customers as they will experience something out of the box.

Note: This module is not compatible with the multi-address checkout feature.

Watch the video tutorial below to understand the extension workflow:

• Admin can create multiple custom checkout steps from the admin panel.
• Existing custom options can be edited by the admin.
• The admin can create a form using custom options from the admin panel.
• The admin can take actions on created custom steps like Enable, Disable, and Delete.

 

First, the customers will get a zip folder and they have to extract the contents of this zip folder from their system.

After that, the extracted folder has an src folder, inside the src folder you have the app folder. 

The user needs to transfer this app folder into the Magento2 root directory on the server as shown below.

After the successful installation, you have to run these commands in the Magento 2 root directory:

# Run Commands

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

php bin/magento cache:flush

After running the commands, the user has to flush the cache from the Magento admin panel by navigating through System > Cache management as shown below.

Multi-Lingual Support

For multilingual support, the admin will navigate through Store > Configuration > General > Locale Options and select the locale as English (the language into which the admin wants to translate the store content).

Translation

For translating the module language, navigate through app > code > Webkul > CustomCheckoutSteps > i18n and edit the en_US.csv file.

Further, translate the words on the right and upload the modified file to the same location. The filename of the translated file should be according to the language and region code like de_DE.csv.
