Capture Email address on cart screen (via pop-up)
ShopSite knows the email addresses of registered customers. To get the email addresses of shoppers who are not registered customers, ShopSite can prompt the shopper for an email address when an item is first placed in the cart. This prompt will be in the form of a pop-up on the cart screen. If it is dismissed or ignored, it will not keep popping up each time an item is added to the cart. Set this field to "Yes" to activate this feature, "No" to turn it off.
