Screen: ShopSite > Commerce Setup > Order System > Shopping Cart
The Shopping Cart screen shows customers the products that they’ve ordered and the product subtotal. It also includes fields for coupons, gift certificates, surcharges, tax and shipping charges, and shows customers the total cost of the order.
Display Remove Buttons |
Check this box to have ShopSite display a "Remove" button next to every product in the shopping cart. Without this button, customers can delete products by setting the Quantity to zero or by clicking the Empty Cart button. |
||
Display Update Buttons |
Check this box to have ShopSite display an "Update" button next to every product in the shopping cart. |
||
Display How Much Customer has Saved |
Check this box to have ShopSite display how much a customer has saved using Coupons and the Discount Schedule. |
||
Quantity Cannot Be Changed |
Check this box to prevent customers from changing the quantities of products in the shopping cart. Leave this box unchecked if you want customers to be able to change product quantities. |
||
Product Name |
Select if you want the product name to appear as a link to the page the order came from, and whether that link should open in a new window. |
||
Display Subproducts without Parent Name |
When this is not checked, subproducts appear in the cart with this name format:
parent product name: subproduct name This format is fine if you are using the subproduct feature for product variants, such as "Vitamin C: 500mg, 100 count." However, if you are using the subproduct feature to cross-sell additional or related products, you probably don’t want the parent product name displayed. Check this box and the subproduct name will display by itself, just like all other products. |
||
Default for the "Show me my shopping cart" checkbox |
Near the top of the shopping cart page is a checkbox labeled "Shop me my shopping cart every time I order something." If a customer unchecks this box, they can only get to the shopping cart page by clicking a View Cart button. Also, they will not see any change when they click an Add to Cart button unless you have enabled the mini shopping cart. |
||
Do Not Display the "Show me my shopping cart" checkbox |
Check this box to not show the "Show me my shopping cart" option at the top of the shopping cart screen. Customers will see the shopping cart each time they add a product to the cart. |
||
Display coupon button |
Check this box to display the "Apply Coupon" button in the shopping cart instead of the default text: "If you have a coupon, enter the code and press recalculate." Clicking the Apply Coupon button is the same as clicking the Recalculate button. |
||
Display gift certificate button |
Check this box to display the "Redeem Certificate" button in the shopping cart instead of the default text: " If you have a gift certificate, enter the code and PIN then press recalculate." Clicking the Redeem Certificate button is the same as clicking the Recalculate button. |
||
Columns for Product Pull-down menu |
The number specified here determines how many columns will be used to display order options on the Shopping Cart screen. Zero (0) can be used to wrap the options at the screen edge. |
||
Text at the Top of the Shopping Cart Screen |
You can customize the text that appears on your customer's shopping cart page in this field. You can use this field to create a header for the shopping cart. You may want to give them brief instructions on how to proceed through the shopping cart as well as remind them to specify size and color for some items, or provide an explanation of tax or shipping costs (this will be where they choose which type of shipping they want.) |
||
Create an Ordering Instructions Box |
If this box is checked, there will be a box on the shopping cart page for customers to enter comments about the items they are ordering. You can ask for specific information or give instructions by entering text into the "Text at the top of the Shopping Cart Screen" field. Remember that this field is not for specific instruction about a particular product, such as size or color, but for the whole group of products. Individual product options should be specified under Ordering Options in the Products section. |
||
Surcharge text displayed to shopper |
Enter descriptive text here for optional surcharges that you want to appear on the shopping cart. Use this for additional charges such as shipping C.O.D. or gift wrapping. Read the help on surcharges for more information. |
||
Surcharge pull-down menus |
Enter the choices here for your surcharge pull-down menus. Read the help on surcharges for more information. |
||
Return to Shopping Button |
Specify what function the Return to Shopping button should have. Choose between returning the customer to the last page that they ordered from, or specify the full URL of another page within your store for all customers to return to from the shopping cart screen. |
||
Text at the Bottom of the Shopping Cart Screen |
You can customize the bottom of the screen with your store's footer or include final reminders before the customer places an order |
||
Minimum amount an order can be |
If you want to require orders to be over a certain amount, enter that value here. Enter just the amount, with no currency symbol or non-numeric characters. Use zero to indicate no minimum value required. Also select whether the minimum should be enforced for the product subtotal or whether it should be calculated on the order total, which includes tax, shipping, and surchages. |
||
Text displayed to the shopper when using minimum order amount |
If you are requiring a minimum order amount, enter the text here that will be displayed to customers who try to finalize an order that is less than the minimum amount. |
||
Customers in online stores often put products in a shopping cart and then go to other sites before completing the purchase. When they return to your store, they like to find that their shopping cart still contains the items that they had selected. Set this value for the number of days that you want your store to retain unfinished shopping carts. (Note that each unfinished cart does take up a little disk space, so you may not want to set this value to its maximum, which is 31 days. Do not set this value to less than 1.)
If you are using Associates, this is a very important setting. If a customer comes to your store from a link on an Associate’s site and starts to shop but then leaves without completing a purchase, this setting allows the Associate to get credit if the customer returns and completes the order within the number of days that you define here.
