New shopping cart open for testing!

[naturettl]

Our cart screen is also not showing card payments, only PayPal - https://www.naturettl.com/product/breaking-into-business/



Another bug - when loading it appears to lose the style initially, then snap to the correct look.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll ask Development to consider changing or removing the "Ship to" label on the country/postcode section for orders that only require tax calculation. I'm also suggesting they use an alternate version of the PayPal logo that includes card logos, if the seller doesn't have a separate card payment gateway set up, now that PayPal enables "PayPal account optional" by default for PayPal Business/Premier accounts (whereas previously that had to be enabled deliberately to offer a card-based payment option for buyers without a PayPal account).



What browser were you using to test? I'm not able to reproduce that "lose the style initially, then snap to the correct look" issue you described in any browser I tested, though the initial cart rendering in Internet Explorer isn't as smooth as more modern browsers, which support some nice rendering features that IE doesn't.

Maybe I'm missing something... how can I get the entirely separate option for paying by card like you have on the examples? Can I use Stripe for this?



I'm using Safari.

[E-junkie_Guru]

To show a separate checkout option for card payment in your E-junkie cart (classic or new), you would need to set up one of the services listed under the Payment Gateways section here:

At present we do not yet support Stripe, but that is already on Development's roadmap and should be forthcoming soon. :^)



Thanks for clarifying your choice of browser; I've referred that to Development to look into further.

You guys are awesome! I've been with you for 10 years and I love my E-junkie cart!

[coloredpencilmag]

There are a few things that need work (I'd like to see USA be default country and that last page doesn't look as good as the first two) but I am thrilled with what you are doing! Now to put it to the test and see if my customers like it and if my transactions are smooth. GREAT JOB!

[E-junkie_Guru]

You can select the "Default buyer country in shopping cart" in Seller Admin > Edit Preferences.



I see you are using PayPal Advanced, so unfortunately the final card-info entry screen is managed by PayPal and beyond our control.

Great to know - you guys are awesome, thanks!

Hi! Will we be able to add the Facebook tracking pixel onto the new cart? (not just the thankyou page). Thanks.

Strange Question/Comment.



Recently, I had an issue with my long standing, properly working, physical products, UPS shipping cart. Whenever my pages loaded, any page, a script error would be thrown in Firefox or IE. I tried several computers in my office/shop and my home and each would throw a JS Script Error and NOT load. My customers were unable to make purchases, etc......



This all began around the time you launched the Beta, although I didn't realize the coincidence until today. I was unable to resolve the issue with the shopping cart itself. I tried reloading fresh ones, etc.... I wasn't even fully assured it was the cart at first, even though the error code stated such. I worked on it for a few days and was unable to resolve the issue.



What I found was...... the actual error was coming from the "View Cart" script that allows for the shopping cart to load inside the web page. I removed that script and set up the whole site with a View Cart off the site on it's own page. Not how I like it but I'd rather it works than not.



What happened when this change was made was amazing. For as long as I can remember, my website seemed to load slowly. I blamed it on my site host, I blamed it on myself for over-weighting the pages, etc...... BUT... the moment I removed the View Cart script............ every page loaded amazingly fast. Fast in the order of 4 or 5 times faster. They now flash up into place fully loaded.



I HATE not having the View Cart overlaying my site but I can live with it for the time being. We have purposefully slowed our web sales greatly but are on the cusp of running the business back up the flagpole. I am unsure if having the cart off site is going to be an issue for us or not.



Question is..... Does any of this sound familiar? Has it affected others? I use Homestead Sitebuilder..... is it a Homestead/EJunkie interface issue? What are the facts?

Thank You

Peter

Hi Peter,



Sorry for the trouble! That was one of the first errors we ran into and it has been corrected now, how long ago did you remove the cart code from your site? If you add it back in now as it is provided from your account it should work smoothly from here.

[hurleybyrd]

I happen to be working on the site and updating eJunkie scripts. I loaded the new View Cart code and launched the site..... all works well. I felt it actually loaded quickly too. I suspect there were some changes that affected load speeds too.



FYI: I believe I made the View Cart correct changes around the first part of March. Cannot remember.



Thanks for making this fix. But I will say....... I spent a LOT of hours trying to figure it out. And now I have to spend a far amount of time getting our site back to where we were prior to the issue.



I do LOVE E-Junkie though........ although, I wish you guys had a different name or a name that offered a more confidence inducing feel to our customers. People don't swallow "E-Junkie" well. They have told me so and have actually called asking what it is. Seems SPAMmy to them. I'm just saying... that's all.



Thanks for the help.

Hi Peter,



Thanks for confirming that it's working now, we didn't want the beta test to affect anyone who wasn't participating so that bug was a big deal. If you run into any major problems like that in the future please feel free to get with us right away since the odds are good that we'll already be working on a fix (or that we need to jump on it asap).



With the overlay cart working on your site again buyers shouldn't be seeing our name before any purchases unless they are looking closely at any button links -- if that's something that comes up for you then it is also possible to swap out the www.e-junkie.com domain with www.fatfreecartpro.com in your buttons.

[hurleybyrd]

I just checked by adding an item to the cart and flowing through to the credit card payment page. Mine now shows fatfreecartpro....... As noted, it's not a big deal. I have simply had a few people call and ask. But theyn again, we tend to cater to an older, less tech-savvy demographic too. A bit of paranoia is part of what we deal with.



Thanks again for the great product!!!!

[E-junkie_Guru]

Looks like we've reached the end of beta testing the new cart, as we've now addressed all bug reports and suggestions reported to us thus far. Thanks to everyone for your testing and reports, and feel free to opt-in again now to have a fresh look at the latest improvements to the new cart.



This means that starting any day now, we should be ready to set the new cart as default for all brand-new accounts registered henceforth. Existing accounts will NOT be switched en masse to the new cart, so everyone who registered heretofore can upgrade to the new cart voluntarily (or not) at their own discretion; there will soon be a new setting for this in Seller Admin, but meanwhile you can keep using the E-junkie Insider page to opt-in to the new cart:

Looks like I'm just a tad late, but I would also like to add my vote for the "continue shopping" button, and not just for the mobile version but also for the overlay cart. The "x" or a "close" button having this same function is not as intuitive as you might think, as these frequently represent the option to "cancel" and not just to close the current window.



Otherwise, GREATLY APPRECIATE the updated shopping cart and other updates from e-junkie lately.

[E-junkie_Guru]

The current live version of our new cart now includes a Continue Shopping button, among many other improvements suggested to us during beta testing. :^)

Hi, will we be able to use a Facebook tracking pixel in the new cart? Very useful for tracking abandoned carts. Thanks, I asked this earlier with no reply.

Excellent! Can't wait to start using the final version!

[takethree]

I just tried out the new shopping cart on my live site (and like I said before, I know I'm late with this, sorry). Two things would make the credit card purchase page a little bit more intuitive:



1) The "Name" field would be better as "First Name" and "Last Name" fields, as it was with the old payment page, or alternatively a more descriptive title like "Full Name". This is only because it seems like it is not part of an official credit card payment page when it simply says "Name" with one field.



2) Under "Payment Details" the button says "Pay XX", even though the buyer has not entered any credit card info yet. A better button title would be something like "Proceed to Card Info", or something that otherwise lets the buyer know that the button is not the final one and that credit card details are still to come.
