Success Case: Fixing Layout Issues on the Checkout Page with osCommerce
December 02, 2024
A customer noticed a layout issue on their checkout page where shipping option radio buttons were misaligned across different screen resolutions. While the payment method buttons displayed correctly, the shipping options did not. The customer sought advice on directly editing the layout and asked if changes could be made via the template files.
The osCommerce team recommended addressing the issue via the Theme Designer’s CSS editor, highlighting its advantages:
- No conflicts with future updates, ensuring the fix remains intact.
- Ease of customization using the Expert Mode feature in Themes.
Here’s the step-by-step solution they provided:
- Enable Expert Mode in the Theme Designer.
- Apply the CSS fix specifically for the shipping options layout.
- Save changes and achieve the desired result.
osCommerce empowers merchants with user-friendly design tools like the Theme Designer, allowing them to customize their stores efficiently while maintaining compatibility and minimizing update conflicts.
