As a general input, The Store owners I work with, usually opt of single
page format.
this is the cart on the top, Billing and shipping side by side under the
cart. Shipping and special functions like coupons side by side under that.
Seems the Customers like it also, since the conversion rate seems to go up.
As a note the actual page is controlled by CSS for placement and visibility.
like on Downloadables, the Shipping does not show.
Shipping is filled in from the Billing if the customer checks it after
filling in the Billing.
with this, there is only changing the CSS.

Another possibility is a revolutionary change to the quick-checkout

It was my understanding that the stock ecommerce checkout was more of a
demo of
the flexibility of ofbiz and starting point for customization.
In any case, I think you're right: We could re-organize the customer
checkout
so that only the simplest common-denominator checkout steps are
present. Then
we can provide a way to activate the more advanced options.
For instance: Google search. The basic input box will be used 99% of
the time
and the advanced search options are just one click away.
We could use some fancy Javascript UI here to keep the user in the same
page
when exposing advanced functionality. If the user wants to split the
shipment,
she clicks on something and a form "unfolds" where the user can enter
her split
preferences. (Note that Ajax isn't necessary in this case, but we'd be
using
one of the handy advanced UI tools that come with such frameworks.)
