add to the cart button and big NO for automatic adding

[Michal BParticipant]

There’s a thing that hasn’t been probably mentioned but I believe is really irritating for a customer.
When a customer clicks on the prices next to a photo (not even clicking download) the image automatically adds to the shopping cart. It’s really quite irritating when a customer only wants to see a full price, for instance for the extended licence. A better idea would definitely be to have a button “Add to the cart” and only after clicking that, the image would be added to the cart.

Is there now any way to make it work like this ?

Maybe a confirmation pop-up?

Yes, this I do agree with too. Plus you can add stuff into your cart without realising it.

Yeah, thats the whole idea! 😀

I’m not quite sure how it would look but definitely would be better than this instant adding as it is now.

Plus, a costumer sees the price for the whole cart when he looks at the other file. It’s confusing cause it seems like the total price is the price for one image currently viewed!

Whatcha sayin’? I’m too honest? LOL!

I’ll address both of these issues today if I can. Thank you very much for pointing them out. Yes, it appears the product in question is 2-times the price – if I simply change it to “cart” by default, there will be less wonder.

I very much agree with this sentiment. No website that I’ve ever shopped at works this way. It confused the heck out of me when I first set up my site until I figured it out what it was doing. Not many customers are going to put time and effort into understanding that an item is automatically added to cart when a size is selected. The sales flow needs to be setup so that it is completely intuitive to anyone who’s ever bought anything online before.

I have mentioned before that the image toggle needs to be able to be toggled on and off. Now once you click a price the image is selected. and you need to go to the cart to delete it.

I totally agree with this. Yesterday, I was trying to fix this for the whole night, thinking that I do something wrong.

Now I will wait for the update 🙂

This is really a serious issue for customer and me.

thank you very much

Hi Leo, which version is that?

Can you name the version in the file name, it would be less confusing?

Thanks, going to update now. Will report back.

[SemmickPhotoParticipant]

Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

Destination folder already exists. /home3/semmickp/public_html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/

Theme install failed.

I am on 277 now but the pop up doesnt show up and the theme you linked to is failing to install

[ChristineParticipant]

I expect it will always be the latest one so it will change with each update anyway
