My client needs to me modify the cart so that there is an upsale page *after* the user fills in his credit card information.
 
I'm a PHP developer, and am still learning your codebase. How reasonable is something like this to integrate?
 
Tks

Hi Ben,
 
What does upsale page mean in your case?
In ViArt Shop we display order_confirmation.php after payment details are submitted on credit_card_info.php.
Will it fit your needs?

Hey Eugene!
 
Normally an upsell page is a page displayed after the user clicks 'check out' and actually sees the screen with the cart items. GoDaddy.com uses this extensively -- after you buy a domain, they offer a dozen additional things, like website hosting and SSL certs, etc.
 
We need to do something similar.
 
Another quick question -- I'm still wolfing down source code and your manual, but can you add multiple items to a cart with one 'add to cart' click?
 
For instance, if I were selling a PC, I might want to toss in a service plan for $99/yr, too. So in the cart, they would see a PC on one line and a service plan on another line. If they didn't want the plan, they could delete it when they are on the cart screen.
 
BTW -- you might want to pass along a suggestion to your documentation team. For me personally, I work best with examples, and the manuals tend not to use examples much. I think more examples would help clue in people who tend to be like me. Thanks!
 
Thanks!
Ben

Hi Ben,
 
Well, now I understand what you mean.
In ViArt we have block 'Recommended Products'. These products are shown on page basket.php.
To set them up you can use link 'Related' under a product's name in Admin panel. After this all related products will be shown on Basket page when the main product is added to it.
 
In regard to adding several products to the basket at once, it's not possible in ViArt Shop.
As an alternative you can use a special product type named 'Bundle'.
 
For example, create a product and set it's type to 'Bundle'.
Then add some Subcomponents to it. (Subcomponents are usual products from your store.)
After all when you add the bundle product to the basket you'll see that it consists of all the subcomponents that you have selected before.
 
Hope you'll find my example helpful.
Anyway feel free to ask questions if something is not clear enough.
 
Thanks for your note about examples.
ViArt Team does it's best to explain nuances of ViArt software. We constantly improve our manual and will certainly add more real situations how to set up the shop using ViArt software.
