    Automatic Cart Bounce

    There are lots of threads refering to the cart bounce but none seem to address my particular query...

    I have multiple cart buttons per page, and am using 'Quantity on Product Page' shopping mode. I want the cart to update when the user adds an item, but I don't want the user to be directed to the cart at all - just taken immediately back to the page where they purchased the item. Setting the Bounce Delay to 0 takes the user to a 'Confirmation Page' which I also do not want.

    I've achieved this by editing actinic.pm; removing the <meta> tag, closing the <head> prematurely and then adding javascript which forces the redirect right away. Its an ugly solution, is there an obvious way to do this that I've missed?

    Hi there

    When you use Quantity on Product Page, what should happens is that the client will add to cart, you bounce to the shopping grid, so it tell you what you added, then bounces you back onto the product again. There is no option to go straight back without seeing the shopping grid.

    Kind Regards

      Hi Nadeem, thanks for replying.

      I understand the processes now, it just seems strange that you must have a page bounce - something which takes control away from the user. The other options I found in the forum are to have the confirmation page, which I see as an uneccessary step, or to go straight to the checkout, which makes it less likely customers will purchase other products. Maybe the choices for the bounce page could improved in future versions?

      Oh, and I just realised my editing of the actinic.pm script affects the login process too, so will have to play further...

        You can actually do a little bit of work so the shopper ends up at the same place on the page they were, not just at the top. I reckon this is a worthwhile mod too.

          How do you change it so that when a customer logs in, he is returned to the page last viewed?

          The AUG shows how to do this for 'adding to cart', but it means changing the ShoppingCart.pl

          There must be a simple term to add to the login button?

          Otherwise, if the customer has spent time locating his product, he has to start again after logging in if he is bounced to the index or acatalog page?
