What is a Shopping Cart?
The Shopping Cart is exactly like a shopping cart used at a supermarket or other stores. It is simply a place to hold the products you would like to purchase while allowing you to continue shopping. When you are satisfied with the contents in the shopping cart, you can proceed to check out and complete your order.
On a website that sells products or services online, the shopping cart is a common metaphor (from the original grocery store shopping cart) for the catalog or other pages where a user reads and makes selections. Typically, the user checks off any products or services that are being ordered and then, when finished ordering, “Checks Out” by proceeding to a page where the various information such as billing and shipping information is collected and the order is placed and confirmed. The programming that provides a website with the ability to build a catalog, build its associated database and integrate pages into the website that provide users the ability to shop is known as shopping cart software. A primary consideration when choosing shopping cart software is whether it will continue to serve a website’s needs as its catalog and volume of orders grow. The shopping cart software we offer ( osCommerce & Miva Merchant) support an unlimited number of products.
An online shopping cart is similar to the cart you use in physical supermarkets. Your add selections that you wish to add to your cart comprising of Prospectus and / or Application Forms into it and proceed to pay for your order. You can add as many items you want from any of our catalogues listed on the web-site and the same will be delivered to the door-step.
An online shopping cart is essentially what it sounds like. It works the same way a craft stores shopping cart would work except you are placing the wholesale items in it by clicking on your mouse. Once you select a wholesale craft item to be added to your total, a shopping cart will appear on the left hand side of the screen. From there you can view your cart, checkout of your cart, or just conveniently keep a tab on how much you are spending. Once you are done browsing through our wholesale crafts catalog and adding the items to the cart you can click on view cart. That will bring you to an overview page where you can add and remove items by the click of a button. If you are a previous customer and just want to checkout, you can click on the checkout button, which will automatically start the checkout process.
