Re:How I Reimplemented My Shopping Cart To Sell More Softwar... by patio11 on Wednesday February 11, 2009 @12:12PM (#477247)
Hiya guys. I recently redid the shopping cart for my business. Then I spent a few hours writing it up for folks, with the hope somebody can use something.

Article includes:

+ Results of my A/B tests with previous ways of presenting software for sales to my customers.

+ How I use lightboxes to make a good deal of money

+ An AJAX cart I have used to good effect

+ How I went about designing and reimplementing a cart, in JS, to give the feel of the AJAXy one but improve its speed and UI

+ Code for everything, which I put in the public domain. Go nuts.

>So your shopping cart needs to be willing to continue the conversation with your customers.

Great advice, I like your insight into how users interact with shopping carts. I'll be taking this with me on my project!
