You can easily implement that by any php timer script and just get the data needed from the product db.

Ok the development is almost finished. Just need to test everything again.

I have added some new options in admin for Smart Checkout:

- Create account required: If enabled, customers need to create an account to process orders.

- Create account option at checkout page: If enabled, customers have always the option to create an account at the checkout page.

- Create account option at success page: If enabled, customers will be asked if they want to create an account at the success page.

- Counter enabled: If enabled it will show the steps in numbers to proceed an order.

- Send email login data: If enabled, in the succes email, username and password will be sent too.

- Confirmation page: If enabled customers will be redirected to a confirmation page.

and the other options I said in another post.

Ok I was not happy with my current coding and change therefore quite a few things. As you propably know I used the idea of PWA to make orders as a guest but it will still create a temporary account which is not that great. Now, I made it my way. Wrote a new function in order.php so that orders can be made without the need of an account. This has solved many problems too. But because of the changes I need some more time to finish it.

Hey sorry for the long development time but I am still on testing which takes a lot of time. I hope I get it finsihed within a week.

By the way, things are quite tricky with the guest accounts and normal accounts, especially in use with a confirmation page. Because a "temporary" account needs to be made in both cases so that it works fine. But if you leave in the confirmation page, there is no way in deleteting guest account.

The only way which could work but only for guest account is to check the database customers table and the time the account is created and delete those which are older then 1 day or so. But this does not work with normal accounts because if a customers pays with paypal and does not return back to the shop, the account gets deleted too, really bad.

Anyway. The best thing would have been to change the whole code which needs to be used for creating accounts and orders. But that would have been a lot.

Ok the session thing is done.

Now th only question I have is about the credits.

I have used some code snippets from purchase without account. Is it fine if I add some credits on the file I have created or do I need to credit somewhere else?
