GUIDE
Let customers pick up several things and check out in one go. Here is how to add a shopping cart to your site without gluing a separate store onto it.
THE SHORT ANSWER
The cleanest way to add a shopping cart is a platform that already includes products, a cart and checkout. You add your items, turn the cart on, and connect a card processor. Instinctor includes the cart, so there is no ecommerce plugin to install and keep in sync.
STEP BY STEP
1. Add your products
Create each item with a photo, price and any options like size or color, so customers know what they are buying.
2. Turn on the cart
Switch the cart on and an Add to cart button appears on every product. The cart follows customers across your site.
3. Connect payments
Link a card processor once so customers can pay by card or wallet at checkout. Money goes to your bank.
4. Set shipping or pickup
Add flat, calculated or free shipping, or offer local pickup. Customers choose at checkout.
5. Add a coupon if you want
Run a discount code for a sale or a first-order offer, applied right in the cart.
6. Fulfil the orders
Each order lands in your dashboard with the items, the customer and payment status, ready to ship.
BUILT IN VS BOLTED ON
You can bolt a third-party cart onto an existing site. It works, but you end up running two systems, and the cart often looks like a different website in a box.
One site, not two systems
Products, cart and checkout are the same site, so there is nothing to sync and no second platform to learn.
The cart matches your site
It uses your brand, so checkout feels like your shop rather than a generic widget dropped in.
One bill, no revenue cut
The cart is part of your plan. Instinctor does not take a percentage of what you sell.
COMMON QUESTIONS
