Form Fields Defined
Below is a list of each field on the Cart tab.
| Cart | |
|---|---|
| Wishlists | When the Enabled checkbox is selected, customers can use the Wishlist Feature from the cart or product page. Then you can monitor the created Wishlists reports. |
| Recommended Items | When an option other than Disabled is selected, "May We Suggest" items will appear on the cart page. If the Auto Generate option is selected, then products will be randomly selected from the same category(s) as the product(s) in the cart. The other options displayed are the Parent Categories within your catalog. Choosing a Parent Category will randomly selected from the specified category. If you want even greater control of which products are selected, you can create a Parent Category, set it to hidden, and add only the products that you wish to be displayed on the "May We Suggest" section to it. Learn more about categories. |
| Shipping Quote Tool | When the Enabled checkbox is selected, a shipping estimator will be available to your customers on the Cart page. In contrast, in left un-selected the shipping will not be calculated until the customer enters their address on the checkout screen. The shipping estimator will calculate the shipping from the supplied zip code, but the exact shipping rate will be better calculated on the check out screen when the full address is supplied. |
| Cart Message | This field offers you a great opportunity to give your customers some additional information on the cart screen. This is commonly used for Free Freight announcements or other promotions. You can use HTML to enhance the display of the message. |
| Account Status Msg | Enter text to display a message on the My Account and Cart pages when the Customer Account Status is set to Probation or Hold. |
| Continue Button | This drop-down determines where the cart page "Continue Shopping" button takes the customer. The default is Catalog and will send your customer back to /catalog.html. |
