Integrate a shopping basket into each page of your Ecommerce platform

Add a shopping cart onto every page of your Ecommerce site and enhance your customer experience.

The basket, also known as the shopping cart, enables online consumers to collect the products they desire to buy from your digital store in a single location. Incorporating a basket on every page of your platform enables consumers to swiftly see the quantity of products in the basket and the subtotal. With just a single click, consumers can access the basket to view its contents. Moreover, the basket allows users to proceed to the checkout after completing their shopping.
