  File "./fl_bot.py", line 35, in <module>
    ui.WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id="+info+"]")))
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/support/wait.py", line 80, in until
    raise TimeoutException(message, screen, stacktrace)

{
    "billFirstName":"rashawn",
    "billLastName":"doyley",
    "billAddress1":"11612 newburg st",
    "billPostalCode":"11412",
    "billCity":"jamaica",
    "billState":"ny",
    "billHomePhone":"7184139582",
    "billEmailAddress":"[email protected]"
}

code

from selenium.webdriver.support import ui
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import json
from pprint import pprint

def get_page(model, sku):
    url = "https://www.footlocker.com/product/model:"+str(model)+"/sku:"+ str(sku)+"/"
    return url

data = json.load(open('info.json'))

browser = webdriver.Firefox()

page=browser.get(get_page(277097,"8448001"))

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='pdp_size_select_mask']").click()

shoesize = ui.WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'a.grid_size:nth-child(8)')))

shoesize.click()

browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='pdp_addtocart_button']").click()

browser.get('https://www.footlocker.com/shoppingcart/default.cfm?sku=')

browser.find_element_by_css_selector('#cart_checkout_button').click()



for info , Value in data.items():
    ui.WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id="+info+"]")))

    browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id="+info+"]").click()

    browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id="+info+"]").clear()
    #print(info,Value)
    browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id="+info+"]").send_keys(Value)

when i use a print statement to print out the elements that are being held in the info variable i get only 4 of the elements and in no particular order

billCity
billFirstName
billEmailAddress
billLastName

The root cause is xpath incorrect, need to use single or double quote around id value.

"//input[@id="+info+"]" should be "//input[@id='"+info+"']"

Another possible risk is the page take long time to loading after click CHECKOUT button, 10 seconds is not enough. Increase 10 to 60 seconds.

for info, value in data.items():
    ele = ui.WebDriverWait(browser, 60)
        .until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id='"+info+"']")))

    ele.click()
    ele.clear()
    ele.send_keys(value)

Only the first element will wait long time, the next element will take less than 2 seconds to find even you give max find time is 60 seconds, because the page loaded.
