show cart function

[seanquinn]

In my store settings, I have "stay on product page" checked as the Add to Cart behavior. I want to have a link/button on the product page (and product preview) that allows the shopper to view the contents of their shopping cart. Plus I don't see a way for the shopper to be able to checkout, since there is no way to get to the cart.

Also form the cart, I would like a "continue shopping" link/button that takes the shopper back to the product page (or even category page.)

I'm probably just overlooking something simple, but still...

Hi,


In my store settings, I have "stay on product page" checked as the Add to Cart behavior. I want to have a link/button on the product page (and product preview) that allows the shopper to view the contents of their shopping cart. Plus I don't see a way for the shopper to be able to checkout, since there is no way to get to the cart.

When you add an item to the cart, a checkout button appears in the left navigation. If you want to add a link on every product record, add a link http://yoursite.com/your_cart_page.php?show_cart=1 to the template that controls the product display, "show_product_detail.php".


Also form the cart, I would like a "continue shopping" link/button that takes the shopper back to the product page (or even category page.)

This is a continue shopping button that may be useful to those have requested the function. Of course, you will still need to add the javascript.
