Having this done on Satchmo itself doesn't hit the list of high-priority

However, doing it for yourself really should require much hunting around
for a solution. Just write your own views. Look at how Satchmo does it
now, and make sure you provide the right information to certain parts of
the workflow. You shouldn't have any trouble looking at the current cart
and checkout views, seeing what is required in each, and what is
optional, and breaking things out from there in your own code that is
going to be a quicker solution to get the functionality you are looking
for, and is going to be far easier to implement and maintain than trying
to modify Satchmo's itself.
Checkout is merely a series of views through which the store walks a
user. Create your own views, and you have whatever checkout process you
like. The same is true for the /cart/ view(s). Just write your own
workflow where necessary.
thanks bob for providing us with some direction in this. so if i
understand you correctly, we would use the replace_urlpattern utility to
substitute our own URL and associated views with those of satchmo, thus
allowing us to have more control over the checkout process. basically,
we copy the existing checkout process to our project area and augment it
with our own views. no?
This goes for every part of the store.

I am also hunting for a solution to include a notes textarea in the
checkout process.
Please let me know if you find a solution.
Thank you
