Postponing Customer Checkout

By default, SalesCart automatically takes customers to the checkout process after a single item is ordered. However, you may want to keep your customers on the same page without having them start the checkout process. To configure SalesCart to remain in the current product page, follow these steps:

  1. Open you website design tool.
  2. Locate and double-click on the file shop1.php in the sc-bin folder.
  3. Select the html tab or code-view tab to make your changes. Locate the 137th line from the top:
  4. <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=view1.php">

  5. This line tells SalesCart where to go next. Highlight the text.  Replace this entire line with the following.
  6. <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=<%= Session("continue")%>">

  7. You may change this line back at a later time if you wish to have SalesCart go directly to the checkout phase. When done the file should look this way.
  8. <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=<%= Session("continue")%>">
