Our 3.9 upgrade introduces the highly requested Universal Shopping Cart experience for Portal Users. Now users can register for meetings, classes, and purchase products all within a single, streamlined, checkout experience. Coupon functionality has also been updated so users can shop and save with ease.
Why?
Purchasing products shouldn’t be a hassle. Streamlining the checkout process so that users can pay for all their items at once makes for a much friendlier buying experience. Happy customers are frequent customers!
What’s Changed?
- Universal Shopping Cart functionality is now available to be enabled. This is configurable, but we recommend that you stick with whatever decision you make.
- Users will now be prompted to add items to the shopping cart instead of completing the check-out process. This includes items that aren’t actual items, such as Meeting Registrations, Class Registrations, Subscriptions, and any custom processes. Put all of it in the shopping cart – treat yourself.
- Coupon behavior has also been updated for the cart, and we added some new features:
- The coupon field now only appears on the cart page, rather than on each order summary page. ✨minimalism✨
- Helpful validation messages appear when a coupon code is entered but is invalid due to expiration, etc.
How Does it Work?
- The shopping cart will hold onto added items, even if you log out. We get it, we need to step away and think about our purchases too.
- If the person is no longer eligible to purchase an item (like if they missed the deadline for an early bird pricing option), that item will be removed from the cart.
- Decide you don’t need that branded tote bag? Want to buy memberships for the whole family? You can edit and remove existing cart items at any time.
