I was wondering if it's possible to replace the default commerce flow with my own custom flow.

As far as I know the default flow is following:

  • Add individual products to cart on Product's detail page or in Products View
  • Go to cart and proceed to checkout
  • Add shipping & billing information
  • Complete the payment

My flow need to be a bit different. I would like to create View of Products (my products are entry-tickets for an attraction) where user can select quantity of each Product he would like to purchase. I know this View can be AJAXified to change total price dynamically according to quantity of each product. When customer selects all tickets and quantities I need to send him to second page of my Multi-step webform where he enters shipping & billing information and finally confirms / fullfils the payment. After successful payment confirmation / fullfilment I'd like to display the third page of Multi-step Webform where is only confirmation and "thank you" message.

I've read through Commerce 2 documentation and I know how to change Order & Checkout workflows, but I'm not sure if I can use Multi-step Webform where the steps are following (as described above):

  • Step 1: Select quantities of each Product in Products View (10 products in total - ticket types)
  • Step 2: Fill shipping and billing information
  • Step 3: Display confirmation message

The general idea is to skip the cart step where I need to go to cart page and instead realize whole flow as a 3-step Multi-step Webform.

Thanks!

To skip the cart part of the checkout flow, I have been using the patch here. This is the leading patch for decoupling the cart from Commerce (it's a bit hard-wired at present).

If you want to customize the checkout flow with more steps, you can write a custom checkout flow plugin.

To add a custom confirmation message, you can write a checkout pane.

  • Yes, thanks. I've already looked at "Custom checkout flow". But the checkout doesn't need to change, it can remain single step. I want to create multistep form from "Products view" and "Checkout" and "Confirmation" message.

  • @PatrickStar Commerce usually includes a "Confirmation" message as part of the checkout flow. If you want something special, you can write a checkout pane; I added a link to my answer.

  • and is it possible to create custom ordering Form from Products View and use EventSubscribers or Commerce API to add / remove Products from Cart? And finally after clicking button "Proceed to checkout" redirect from this form to Checkout page?

  • Have you tried to do any of this yet? Where did you get stuck? Yes you can customize the Commerce order form. And I already linked to a patch for skipping checkout. There are a variety of other ideas for redirecting straight to payment info input in the linked issue.
