Shopping Cart

AnOnlinestore includes a shopping cart where your customers can keep track of items as they shop, adjust their quantity, get their discounts and see the total order cost. The cart is designed to be functional using its default settings. 

Viewing the Cart Content

Here’s what customers see in their shopping cart:

Items. For each unique product shoppers see its quantity, product option if any, and price.

Order subtotal. A final cost of all items in the cart excluding taxes and shipping.

Automated discounts. Shown only if you set up discounts on order subtotal or customer groups. 

Estimated shipping costs and tax rates. Appears after a customer enters their address or the store recognizes the visitor’s location. When you have several shipping methods, they are formed into a list displayed on the Shipping and Pickup page. The first method in the list is shown as a default one in the shopping cart. You can sort shipping methods to choose what shipping or delivery method to show first. When a shopper changes a shipping method during checkout, the shipping costs and order total are changed accordingly.

Handling fee. Shown only if you set up a handling fee.

Link for a promo code or gift card fields. Shown only if you have discount coupons or gift certificates enabled in your store. After clicking a Redeem your code link, customers can enter a discount or gift certificate code.

Order total. A sum of order subtotal, shipping costs, tax rates, discounts, and handling fee.
