Answer 1

In short, you can not skip checkout without shipping method as Magento do not save order without shipping method. If you really want to skip, you have to cheat. Assign any shipping method internally There is multiple steps:

1. Extend Mage_Checkout_OnepageController

2. Override saveBillingAction and saveBillingShippingAction method of Mage_Checkout_OnepageController and save shipping method.

   $method = 'freeshipping_freeshipping'; $result = $this->getOnepage()->saveShippingMethod($method); Mage::getSingleton('checkout/type_onepage')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()-> setShippingMethod($method)->save();

3. Also extend Mage_Checkout_Block_Onepage_Abstract and override Mage_Checkout_Block_Onepage_Abstract::_getStepCodes to hide shipping steps in checkout.
