We are happy to announce the release of a new version of our extension, Amazon Shopping Cart. Version 1.1.0 includes some bug fixes, plus many new features:-
- Adds cookie storage for the cart id, so that a customer's cart can be retained for up to 90 days;
- Adds a thumbnail selector for product variations, so that embedding a parent product can automatically produce a selectable display of child products;
- Adds selective caching of cart data
- Solves the problem of a customer being left with a blank page after a clear cart operation;
- Improves price display, with distinction between the Amazon sale price and new and used offer prices;
- Adds improved handling for goods that don't have an offer but can be bought on Amazon, such as Kindle books.
Amazon Shopping Cart is a complete package of Joomla extensions based around our AmazonWS plugin, that allows you to create an Amazon store on your Joomla website, including a shopping cart. Customers can browse your site, and add items to their cart without leaving your site: it is only when they are ready to pay that they are redirected to the Amazon website.
IThe package can be used with any Joomla content that supports content plugins, including the native Joomla content component, also for example K2 or Virtuemart, and is compatible with Joomla versions 2.5 and 3. The product information includes your affiliate links to Amazon: when a customer uses your site to buy products, you get paid.
Within the cart the customers can have multiple items, can modify the quantity, delete items, or save them for later. If they are logged into your site the cart can also be stored for up to 90 days: useful for people who want to go "window shopping" but are not ready to buy yet.
