Can you include a URL to the documentation?
If you do need to include documentation as PDF or something, you can add download to each product. 

This looks like some route (rt) used has an issue with the layout. It is possible that someone passed a faulty rt in the URL. 

What is the RegEx that you use?

Ye, single page checkout is a great idea.

I think you are looking for multi-vendor solution. I did not come across of any multivendor extension for AbanteCart yet.

Possibly, I am to very clear with your questions, but I think it is already working this way.

Anyways, the template for the page is in this file and you can move sections as you need them in HTML
https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/storefront/view/default/template/pages/checkout/guest_step_1.tpl

Just to be clear  .htaccess should not have dot (.) at the end of the file name.

Also check that you do not need to change RewriteBase / to something specific if you install into some directory under web directory.

Are you running Apache web server?

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS indicates that page is trying to load an gets redirected back to itself.

This error explains the problem "Error: No Shipping options are available. Please contact us for assistance!"

Check that your settings for shipping are ok. This error indicates that no shipping option available to select.

Abantecart is very good for the most part. I say, it is important to start with learning it.
Most parts are intuitive, but if you need to get into more complex set up, it might get tricky.

I was thinking of a bad side, and not able to come up with much. Possibly, the marketplace with extensions is not yet very big on variety. I guess this is a matter of time as I see extensions add up quickly.

I can speak from experience. Abantecart is probably one of the fastest on the market.
It will be hard to locate information what you ask as it is hard to compare all platforms, as they will need to be set up identical.
Probably, you can check reviews like this one

In your example CSV I do not see any images. Try to get export together with images/resource library to see correct structure.

I did not come across this extension for Abantecart, but I know what you are looking for. We can create this extension for you.

Cart clear will be with simple call to cart object with clear method.
Here is the cart class:
https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/core/lib/cart.php#L498

Here is how you will call it:
$this->cart->clear();
This is assuming you are inside of the controller or model

All checkout pages share the same layout.
You can see this in the database table ac_layouts.

https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/install/abantecart_database.sql#L10376

If you need to create a completely new layout that is assigned to specific page you need to update following tables.

1. Create new row to ac_layouts:

Code Select Expand


INSERT INTO `ac_layouts` (`layout_id`, `template_id`, `layout_type`, `layout_name`, `date_added`)
VALUES
('', 'default', 1, 'Guest Checkout Pages', now());


2. Register new page in ac_pages:

Code Select Expand


INSERT INTO `ac_pages` (`page_id`, `parent_page_id`, `controller`, `key_param`, `key_value`, `date_added`)
VALUES
('', 0, 'checkout/guest_step_1', '', '', now() ),

Note: You might need to do the same for checkout/guest_step_2, checkout/guest_step_3 ..

3. Create new row to pages_layouts:

Code Select Expand


INSERT INTO `ac_pages_layouts` (`layout_id`, `page_id`)
VALUES
([new layout_id from ac_layouts], [new page_id from ac_pages]);

You repeat this for every new layout / page that you create

Do not forget to clear the cache after you update tables directly.

Load your XML with layout.

srajput, how did you try to add Kayako? Can you post a link to Kayko sample or code snippet?
