On the other hand, of course, YOU MUST have a PP account. It must be validated, verified, connected to a credit card and linked to a bank account (otherwise, you are limited to 2500$ total transactions)

Caroline Schnapp commented on Fetch doesn't use Shipping. How can I turn off the Shipping messages?

What we need here is a way to use global objects in .css.liquid files, not only the theme settings.

@Jared,

You can conditionally add the custom checkout.css and hide the shipping fields as caroline suggests only if the cart weight is greater than zero. Something like this…
{% if cart.total_weight > 0 %}
    {{ 'checkout.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{% endif %}

Coding dyslexia.

Code should be:

{% if cart.total_weight == 0 %}
    {{ 'checkout.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{% endif %}

@Richard Bird

The code provided by Jared goes into the header element in theme.liquid. However, you won't see your HTML comment on the checkout pages. You will see your HTML comment on any page but the checkout pages. An that's normal.

Bad news:

Jared's solution won't work because linking in your own checkout.css file in the header is not even required for that stylesheet to be used. The mere presence of a stylesheet named checkout.css in your Assets folder will be enough for Shopify to 'link' it in at checkout. Unfortunately. So your own overrides will be applied, whether you have tangible goods inside the cart or not.

I don't believe this solutions works any longer. Just for testing, I put the follwing in the head of theme.liquid

{% if cart.total_weight < 0 %}
    <!-- total weight is less than zero -->
{% endif %}
{% if cart.total_weight == 0 %}
    <!-- total weight is equal to zero -->
{% endif %}
{% if cart.total_weight > 0 %}
    <!-- total weight is greater than zero -->
{% endif %}

And it does not render on the checkout page no matter what.

Stefan,

This is unfortunately a Google policy.

This is a google thing not a Shopify thing as far as I can tell.

Option Google Base depending on country of store by sfnkol

Hi,

I have two shopify store, one for the US and international and one for Germany.

I am shipping from Southamerica/Chile. So if I enter correctly my shop address I cannot opt for Google Base. When I chosse USA or Germany it is possible. The items for US are in dollar and english description and for the german site all are in german and Euro.

So this is near by discrimination. Is there any reason for that? Some stupid google policies?

Also the field country in the references is "not requiered".

Thank you

Stefan

Did not mention funnels so did not come up in the search :(

I know this is an old thread but I thought I would bump it rather than starting it again.

Has anyone succeeded in a setting up a full Analytics checkout funnel to track where people drop out of the process?

I have a question. I only want to feature the 48 Continental United States in the my checkout process and was wondering if this is possible?

I am looking for this in MyShopify > Preferences > Regions & Taxes, am I looking in the right place?

Thanks

BBG has got it. The forums is a place where Shopify store owners, designers, developers can all communicate under one roof.

I might try to make this more obvious in the future, any ideas are welcome.

Thanks for your bug report Jamie :)

wigify commented on affiliate marketing possible?

wigify — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:55:40 +0000

hi bschiett,

From the better late then never department, I'd like to introduce you to wigify, the affiliate program manager for Shopify stores.

You can have your store's affiliate program online in minutes. the url is at http://www.wigify.com for you to look at.

Oh, and the first month is only a dollar. The monthly rate right now is $24 USD after that, and only like $0.50/transaction on any orders placed through an affiliate.

email me if you have more questions, either here or on the wigify site.

thanks B.

Philip

There are some more thoughts on when to use Support versus the Forums here: http://www.shopifyconcierge.com/blogs/news/1105412-shopify-support-vs-shopify-forums

I agree it can be confusing, but as a rule of thumb:

If it is about something not working right with Shopify you should go to support so they can investigate and fix it.
If it is about changing your theme, marketing advice (e.g. SEO), how to set up collections for your products, looking for designers/developers or announcing a new store this is the place to be.

If I want to search to see if my question has been answered before, do I need to search both areas seperately?

There should to be a way to have all the help/support/ideas in one searchable place.

Jamie commented on Forum Feedback

Jamie — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:44:06 +0000

You are in the user forum here. support.shopify.com is on a ticketing system, and is mainly for service related issues, bug reporting etc. If you are having trouble with a custom theme or non service issue this is where you seek help.

atlas100 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:02:53 +0000

I am confused on what is the difference between this forum and the support.myshopify.com/discussions/questions?

This seems like a big usability issue. I don't know where I am supposed to seek help and when I want to find one I find the other.

Is there a clear reason that both areas need to exist?

Hey Will.

Start with your mark-up errors and I think this may resolve itself. You have a bunch of div errors that will definitely throw off ie. [see screen]
