How eCart Works
The following explains the typical procedure for using eCart to create the necessary checkout/purchasing functionality for your online store.
Step 1: Create your eCart object
The eCart object panel, defines many aspects of your cart, including currency settings, and discounts. For more information see Creating your eCart object.
Step 2: Insert your Add to cart buttons
You can insert Add to cart buttons on any PHP page in your site. These buttons connect your product catalog or product details page to your shopping cart and checkout pages. See Creating Add to cart buttons for more information.
Step 3: Create your Shopping Cart Display
The eCart Display Manager allows you to easily create a shopping cart for your site. This is the page that your customer will go to in order to review what they have added to their cart, and to make modifications before checking out. See Using the Display Manager for more information.
Step 4: Create your Checkout pages
The eCart Checkout Wizard guides you through creating all the pages necessary for processing payments through a payment gateway. See Using the Checkout Wizard for more details.
