Shopping Cart Settings

When customers add some products to the shopping cart in the Sana webstore, they can open the shopping cart or proceed directly to checkout.

Placing an order is not just adding the products to the shopping cart and paying for it. There are so many things that should be calculated, validated and processed.

When customers open the shopping cart, they can see there all products they added and their prices. Moreover, they might also see some other costs, such as service charge, discount, taxes, etc. and all this must be calculated first. There is nothing easier if your e-commerce solution is ERP integrated. As Sana Commerce Cloud integrates with the ERP systems, all this information is taken from and calculated by ERP real-time. Everything is completely automated, and all information is up-to-date.

To set up shopping cart settings, in Sana Admin click: Setup > Ordering > Shopping cart.

Shopping Cart Minimum Order Value

Setting up the shopping cart minimum order value is a good way to enhance your business revenue, you can force your customers to purchase more – to add more products to the shopping cart to achieve a specific sales order amount. The shopping cart minimum order value is calculated based on the total price of products a customer is purchasing.

To set up the shopping cart minimum order value, in Sana Admin click: Setup > Ordering > Shopping cart. In the Shopping cart minimum order value settings, enter the shopping cart minimum order amount including and excluding tax. When a customer places an order in the webstore, the appropriate price is retrieved depending on whether the prices including sales tax is enabled or disabled for the customer in your ERP system.

When customers add products to the shopping cart, and the total price of products is lower than it is set in the Shopping cart minimum order value settings, they will see a validation message in the shopping cart details, and customers will not be able to get a quote or proceed to checkout till the shopping cart minimum order value is reached.

The validation message can be added to the shopping cart details using the Basket minimum order value message content element that is available on the Basket system page.
