Here is a single item set in a table with a variable description/price option. The hidden variable "item" contains the keyword "op1" instead of a legal price. This tells the cart to parse the selection named "op1" to obtain the item price. Notice that the selection pop-up has a description and price separated by a space dash space. You must use this format to insure correct parsing by the cart. Any of the 16 options op1 - op16 can be used to price an item. |

Here is another single item in a table with variable options. The hidden variable "item" contains the keywords "op1op12op4" instead of a legal price in the price field. This tells the cart to parse the selections named "op1", "op12", and "op4" (in that order), and sum up all associated costs to obtain the item price. The options have their description and price separated by a space dash space. You must use this format to insure correct parsing by the cart. Any or all of the 16 options op1 - op16 can be used to price an item. If you don't wish to add any text to the description for an item, make the value simply " - $2.00" |
| This example has the same basic cart functionality as the one above, but shows how you can build up a whole table of similar products to present a lot of items in a small space. Notice that each row in the table containing product is actually a small form totally independent from adjacent rows. Also, notice Product2 has a special tag =SHIPSEP= included with the item part number. This tells the cart to ship this item in its own box. |

This example illustrates a way to allow the customer to place more than one thing in their cart using a select pop-up. In the quantity field of the hidden var, we put the name of the select (op2 in this example).

This example illustrates a way to allow the customer to place more than one thing in their cart using an input box. In the quantity field of the hidden var, we put the name of the select. (op2 in this example). Just to spice it up, we threw in two extra options (op4 & op1). They're not marked for parsing in the hidden variable, and so are just appended to the description. Notice that even though op4 comes before op1 in the document, op1 is appended to the description first in the cart. |
Here are the standard implementations for viewing cart contents and going to checkout. These can appear anywhere on your site you wish, but be sure not to put them inside another <form></form> construct. (Nesting forms is a bad thing!)
