Completing display configuration

You've now completed creating the shopping cart page. This is the page that all of your Add to cart buttons should be directing to. If you have already created these buttons, you may need to adjust the behavior to go to this page.

Your shopping cart includes a number of buttons that provide certain functionality. Refer to the details below for more information on these buttons.

Buttons

When the buttons are inserted, their redirect location is left blank, which simply redirects the page to itself when the button is clicked. In the Dreamweaver Server Behaviors panel, you will notice behaviors for each of the following buttons.

  • For the Update Cart button, redirecting to the same page is the most common scenario as the user will want to see the changes reflected in the cart that the Update button is submitting.
  • For the Continue Shopping button, you may wish to specify a product catalog landing page or enter server-side code that takes them to a location determined dynamically.
  • For the Clear Cart button, it is common to redirect to the same page so the user can see that the cart has been cleared of its contents.
  • For the Checkout button, it is common to redirect to a page that has the checkout form to begin payment processing.

    Note: the Checkout button can also be removed and replaced with a checkout form configured using eCart Insert Checkout Form. See Configuring checkout within the shopping cart display for more information on redirecting directly to a merchant provider's checkout form.

 

You should note that all the images included in the shopping cart display have been inserted into an images folder in the eCart folder at the root of your site.

As well, a CSS file containing the guidelines for the design of your shopping cart display has been included in a CSS folder within the eCart folder. You can use the CSS panel for the styles included in this file to incorporate similar design elements throughout your website.

Note: Email-friendly displays will have the css included in-line, and no images are included in the shopping cart display.
