    I am using the Solspace Freeform here: Form Details which uses a redirect setting once it is filled out to bring up a page which lists payment options here.

    What I need is for the second page to be only visible if a user has filled out the form. I used a cookie with a conditional and a redirect if user didnt fill out form which worked fine until a client didn’t have cookies turned on.

    Was considering having the redirect go back to a page that asks user to enable cookies and also a link to fill out enrolment form for other users. This seems a little slow though for ecommerce (an extra step). Any other ways in which this may be achieved with EE? Advice appreciated.

    Hi wireframe,

    Without Freeform adding that sort of thing as a feature, the only way I can think of to achieve it is indeed using cookies. I know it’s an extra step, but perhaps not an undue burden for an ecommerce-based site. Are you running into a lot of users without cookies enabled?
