Sample Order Buttons

Use the following imaginary product buttons to simulate the experience your customers will enjoy with ZippyCart installed on your website!

Wish List Installation and operation

The optional ZippyCart wishlist module can increase customer loyalty and drive additional sales. This module requires some additional effort to set up but when properly installed, your customers will appreciate the ability to bookmark items for later purchase. You can even use this feature to collect email addresses to build your mailing list!

Installation and configuration of ZippyList™ is exactly the same as other ZippyCart modules. Download the script and copy it to the zippy folder. Activation and interaction with the main cart script is automatic. Once installed, you may create stand-alone buttons to add products to the wish list or add the field described below to create dual-purpose buttons:

Sample stand-alone button: (notice the extra field name addto)
<form action="PATH_TO_SCRIPT" method=post target="cart"> <input type=hidden name=item_name value="Short description of widget"> <input type=hidden name=item_number value="wid01"> <input type=hidden name=amount value="9.99"> <input type=hidden name=add value="1"> <input type=hidden name=ounces value="16"> <input type=hidden name=addto value="wishlist"> <input type=submit name=cmd value="Add to Wishlist" title="click to add this item to your wishlist"> </form>

Sample Dual-Use button: (user selects value for addto)

Idea! Change color schemes for the wish module to help customers notice the difference!

ZippyCart calculates shipping by your customer's zip code. Zippy adds up the combined weight of each item in the order, then looks up the rate based on standard zones. This is the same method used by the USPS and other web sites to calculate mailing costs.

Because you can edit the rates used in this calculation, you will be able to create accurate calculations using any carrier. Default rates are provided for both domestic and international shipments, plus, you can easily add custom rates for any destination

If you already have the Paypal cart on your pages, conversion is easy! ZippyCart uses existing Paypal add-to-cart buttons unchanged other than one additional field for item weight.

FreeRide™ is a special feature found only in our ZippyCart product. This feature lets your customer know when the total order weight is such that adding an additional item will not increase the shipping charge. Read more..
