On Tap's Fast Order extension provides the ability for customers to quickly add numerous products to their cart from a single page.
The page utilises Ajax to retrieve product information quickly and transparently without having to reload or navigate away from the page.
A fast search facility enables the customer to search by name, SKU, etc. A list of matches is then displayed and these can be browsed through before adding to the cart.
The extension supports different product types enabling, for example, custom options to still be defined prior to selecting a product.
Further product searches all take place on the same page, so the customer's cart builds dynamically in front of them quickly and efficiently.
Once they have selected all the products they want, clicking the 'Add all to basket' button results in them being added to their basket.
This is a real time saving for the customer, especially if they are ordering 5 or more products each time. For B2B customers with large orders, e.g. 100 items, then On Tap's Fast Order is really the only way to serve their needs.
Of course, the extension still enables the customer to browse the Magento catalogue as normal so the customer is in full control of how they find and order products.

Installation
We offer an optional installation service for this extension which will get you up and running.
Background
Some of our Magento products, including this one, are encoded with a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system called ioncube. This is used to protect our products from piracy and copyright infringements. This means that some or all of the code in our extensions is protected from modification.
Licensing per domain
Our extensions are licensed per domain, which means that they will only run on a specific web site.
For extensions that operate purely at the Magento back-end, this typically means you only need to license one domain regardless of stores in your Magento instance. For extensions that provide front-end changes, this typically means that you need a license for each domain name that will use the extension. We provide discounts for customers needing multiple domain licenses.
The license you receive also includes a free development server license so that you can test the extension prior to deploying it on your production server.
Delivery of your extension
Once you place an order we will generate a licensed version of the extension and deliver this to you by email. We do this as quickly as possible, but the process might take up to 2 business days during busy times. We are working to automate this process to provide immediate delivery in the near future.
What if I want to change the code?
We don't protect CSS, XML or .phtml files, so you still have the ability to customise the look and feel, and often some logic. If you have a specific need to customise one of our products beyond this, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
Why not just provide the full source code?
We invest time and effort into building and supported our Magento products. In order to protect this investment we have decided to encode our work.
How do I install ioncube?
Installing ioncube is generally very simple, and may already have been installed by your web host. If it is not, we provide the necessary 'loader files' that can be installed. You can grab the loader files here. We can assist you with the process. All hosting packages from On Tap come with ioncube pre-installed.
Are all of your products encoded?
No. Only our commercial products.
