Shopping Cart Feedback?

Post by JPlush76 »

http://65.108.20.82/newcart/sc_main.php

I'm working on a new shopping cart from scratch and I was wondering if you guys could check it out and throw some feedback on how it works for you. Its on a shared server right now, but it will be moved to a dedicated box once it goes live.

the only category that is filled right now is ALTERNATIVE PROCESS >> TONERS

there are products in there you can add to the cart

I'm hoping you guys can find something I missed or overlooked. Maybe any security issues I'm not seeing off the bat, etc. If anyone wants to see the source code I can post the shopping cart class.

thanks!! 8)

p.s. the whole site isn't finished yet, Ive just uploaded the shopping cart and product catalog pages.

some of the challenges of this cart were custom price breaks

buy # get # free
buy # get them at a new lower price
buy # get a percentage off each item

all in all it took about 4 days to build everything so far.

the check out part is gonna be a biatch though. custom shipping charges, hazardous checking, different taxing for counties within states, passing data securely to an AS/400 system for the credit auth and then passing the data back.

I was using os commerce at first but we needed so much custom work, I just figured it would be a great learning tool to rewrite it from the bottom up.

Ok I randomly picked an item from Alterative thigy and ordered one of it. It took me to the shoppoing cart. I then added 20 more and hit the Update Quantity button. It updated. But when I entered -1 and hit the button, it says, "YOUR CART IS CURRENTLY EMPTY " :?

yea I did that on purpose to prevent negative pricing from being entered into the database.

if you type in a negative number or 0 it will remove the line item

Under 'Create an account' I got this up on the page:

// echo ENTRY_SUBURB_TEXT; ?> required

With this 'required' being a different font to the rest of them.

I would also change the colour for the 'required' to a darker colour as blue is the least visible to the human eye and many of us males have colour deficiencies - just my accessability 2c worth.
