#2 would be fine IF, you had a cart running item/total in a box someplace on the pages. Even a listing of the items would be nice.

I have a question...
From a marketing standpoint and or shopping cart design, which is better?
(1.) Customer selects a product and presses the buy button and is then
directed to the checkout page where they can update their cart, checkout or
press the continue shopping button which will take them back to the product
page.
Or
(2.) The customer presses the buy button and the item is added to the cart
and the customer stays on the page instead of being redirected to the
checkout page, of course the item will appear on a little box as being added
with a display of the current total.
I have seen it both ways on many shopping carts, but personally I prefer
number 2 as this is how I do it on mine. I was wondering if there is any
reason as far as marketing goes to doing it the other way. I guess it
depends on what the products is but I still would think redirecting them to
the checkout page is almost like rushing them though a nice dinner so you
can get your tip.
Any comments?
