Can I add items to cart without displaying the cart?



The default behavior is that when someone adds to cart, the cart is displayed and the item is shown in the cart along with the checkout option.



I would like to be able to have someone click buttons to add items to cart, but not display the cart until they click on my “view cart” button.



With this, I would like my shoppers to be able to go down my page and add several products to the cart, and not have to close the cart window or “continue shopping”, interrupting the shopping process.

Hello,



Unfortunately this is not a built-in feature for our cart, but it could be built on with some creative programming. You could build a menu of your available products and let buyers select one or many of them and then add them all to our cart in one final click, which would then pull up our cart loaded with those items so that they can review their selection and go straight to checkout.



This would be done using an unofficial hack to add multiple items to the cart at once, which is described in more detail in this forum thread:

In addition to that you would need to set up a menu to dynamically determine which product links are included in the multi-add array so that the selected items are added to the cart.



Unfortunately that kind of customization goes beyond what we can directly support, but you could get in touch with one of the independent developers on the list here who are skilled in this sort of thing and already familiar with our service:

Thanks. I will see what I can come up with.
