Shop - View Shopping Cart
The shopping cart interface is made more simple than the shop pages. Studies have shown that removing any distraction from the shopping cart page ( and from the checkout pages too ) can lead to higher conversion rates. So for this page the left navigation is removed, the mini cart display is also gone.
If the visitor come to this page and the shopping cart is still empty there is a chance that she go there by accident or feeling confused. So now we present her with simple instruction on how to buy stuff in our shop .
"Your shopping cart is empty"
"If you find you are unable to add anything to your
cart, please ensure that your internet browser has cookies enabled and that
any other security software is not blocking your shopping session."
Now if there are already items in the cart we present it to the customer like shown below. Each row shows the product thumbnail name, unit price, quantity and sub total. On each row we have a delete button so the customer can easily remove the item. If you plan to customize the shopping cart interface do not remove the delete button. It will make the delete process difficult for the customer and it certainly not a good thing.
You may have seen it on another shopping cart solution that to remove an item the customer must set the quantity to zero then click the 'Update Cart' button. That is the wrong way to do it because it makes a very simple action difficult.
