Details
New version 1.3.0!
It is not just another alternative for the standard Magento Checkout or popular OnestepCheckout extension, this is completely different and simply better!
So what is so different and great about it?
- It is maintainable!
You can customize it without headache and spending nights in thousandths of lines of code. - It is simple!
Modifies standard Magento checkout in the places where it is really needed. - It is documented!
You can download our Developer Manual » - It has Unit Tests »
You can check if something is broken after your customizations of the checkout code. - It is developed by EcomDev!
The extension is based on standard Magento checkout, so all payment methods and additional Magento customizations are supported. Fully compatible with:
- Community, Professional and Enterprise edition
- Gift cards
- Customer balance
- Reward points
- Additional checkout fields
- Confirmation step with checkbox or pop up window for countries where it is required by Law (in Netherlands: Thuiswinkel.org)
- Ability to change qty or remove products directly before submission of the order, without losing already entered order details.
- Newsletter Signup checkbox
The extension functionality can be disabled for all websites or a particular website, so you can return standard Magento at any time by changing configuration field.
Review by Alan Storm: Incredibly less painful checkout. CheckItOut gets the entire multi-step checkout condensed onto a single page without making it seem overcrowded or overwhelming. I can see immediately how this could improve conversions, and as a developer this is going to be part of my default working development environment.
The code is rock solid and it looks like they achieved everything without a single class rewrite. It would take a team of top-rate engineers years of experience and months of coding/testing to achieve similar results. It's a steal at this price.
Requirements
- Magento CE 1.4.1-1.6.0
- Magento PE 1.9-1.11.0

Javascript was a little complex, but we got through it. Everything else was great - documentation, functionality, extensibility. It's a great module and our #1 recommendation. 06/02/2012 Review by Sumoheavy.com

I was given the opportunity to try out CheckItOut extension. Installation took a couple seconds of FTP followed by enabling the extension in the magento backend. The extension did not completely work out of the box for me because of a popup/overlay css clash with my current template – it was an easy fix, and I doubt many people would hit the same problem. The code itself is very well organised; every function is commented. Configuration in the backend is straight forward, as expected of a quality extension. There is a compatibility mode for Magento 1.4 template users too.
I’ve looked at onestepcheckout, GoMage LightCheckout, Fire Checkout and goldenspiral’s. CheckitOut is up there with the best.18/12/2011 Review by CW -

If for some reason you are not a big fan of Magento’s default One Page Checkout concept / workflow, it might be worth checking out this alternative. Usually these alternatives come in a form of so called “one step checkout” where main difference is that entire customer data / payment data / shipment data is displayed not just on one page, but in one “piece”. Why is this important? Well, it usually leads to a bit better user experience. Even a fraction better user experience can make a difference between new order and abandoned cart. No one likes abandoned carts .
Let me present you with one possible “one step checkout” like alternative, the CheckItOut! Magento extension by EcomDev.
There are several key things that make this extension stand up. Before everything, extension is simple. Simple in terms that it modifies standard Magento checkout in the places where it is really needed. Usually this is not something people who buy extension pay attention. But I cannot stress enough how important it is to use stable extension that do not poke around core Magento functionality a lot.
The simpler, the better, as long as it do it’s job. Quick overview of the code show most fo the focus on custom checkout controller EcomDev_CheckItOut_OnepageController which in turn extends the default checkout controller Mage_Checkout_OnepageController. This is “turned on” by a router definition within app\code\community\EcomDev\CheckItOut\etc\config.xml file.
Meaning CheckItOut inherits all of the default controller behaviour then simply implements it’s stuff in the proper controller method. This approach is relatively solid as it is straight forward and you know that at any point you simply disable module and your default checkout kicks in.
Code itself looks “rock solid” and it looks like they achieved a lot of functionality without a single class rewrite (except controller). Layout seems to be easy modifiable due to the nice CSS files that go along with it.
On top of that there is a quality developer manual that goes with it. We all love good documentation when it comes to Magento.
This is all nice and all, but what about real frontend features?
Given that the extension is based on the standard Magento checkout, all payment methods and additional Magento customizations are supported. Meaning, it should be fully compatible with features like: Gift cards, Customer balance, Reward points, etc.
Additionally extension functionality can be disabled for all websites or a particular website. Plus, you can return standard Magento checkout at any time by changing configuration field in the admin interface.
Seems like a nice product, especially since it costs only €249.00. I say only, because you should think twice before you actually pay anyone to code custom checkout just for your Magento store.
All in all, definitely worth checking out if you are in need for “one step checkout” like process.
Cheers.

First of all, I want to mention I'm not a programmer, but a customer with customer driven reasons for using this extension. This extension provides all of the convenience I would like to provide to my customers. It is very easy to modify the layout due to the well written CSS files.
The extension also relies on the Magento core coding. The absolute selling point of this extension ! Never worry about other extensions breaking up this CheckItOut! extension !
Great work guys, you made my life a lot easier !10/06/2011 Review by Werner Visser -

This module made checkout customisation so much easier. The only point I could make is that developer documentation is a little high level -- you still need to spend some time learning the ins and outs of how the code works. The code itself is extremely well documented. 10/06/2011 Review by Nick from Meanbee
