Hi all,

 

Ø  - it is a bit irritating that currently items appear in the basket
without any notice ;-

 

I think that this is mostly irritating because items do NOT appear in the
basket, but only later in order overview. This happens because, if user logs
in during checkout, the process is:

-          Check basket contents

-          Login to proceed (previous basket items are added silently in
background without any notice)

-          At last Step there are now more items in the order overview than
were before in the basket

 

If a user logs in before checkout, I think it’s OK to merge stored contents
with current contents without notice, this seems not irritating to me. So I
would suggest:

-          User logs in during checkout: nothing ever is merged

-          User logs in before checkout: stored basket and current is merged
(eventually with an optional message)

 

Regards,

Frank Zunderer

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is making things too complicated for users, but the
idea sounds good - it is a bit irritating that currently items appear in the
basket without any notice ;-)

Since this might make the ordering process more complicated, it would be
good if the merge would be optional (e.g. if you could configure this in the
admin and select whether to never merge, always merge, show a notice or ask
the user what to merge).

Another thought: if you allow the user to merge the baskets, then it would
be neat if the user could select which products to merge into the basket,
and which products to put on the notice list (if it is activated in the
shop). I believe Amazon offers the option of moving things between the
notice list and the basket in the basket overview.

Hi, 

This feature is nice to have, but it has to be more intelligent, more
customizable by shop owners. User scenario should look like this:

If user logs in and currently don’t have anything in the basket, Oxid should
show message (at notice level)  that user have had some basket items before.
if user reacts to that notice, he have few options to choose: 

*       review all content of that basket, (in that window he could add some
of the items of that basket) 
*       continue using old basket 
*       discard all items.

If user have something in the basket, oxid should show also the message in
notice, but this time if some items are the same, message text differs, and
says something like “Previously you also added item X and other N items,
Merge? ”. Notice level is important that user will not be distracted from
buying that he is planning to do now (he is in 2 step to the complete
order). Dialog should suggest the same options as before:

*       review all content of that basket, (in that window he could add some
of the items of that basket) 
*       add most popular item (in Oxid case, this should be extendable very
easily as it depends on shop owner business logic ) 
*       discard all items.

Subject: [oxid-dev-general] Merging old and current baskets

Hi,

 

Currently we‘re considering about concept, how to handle basket saved for
user from previous session (when user not finishes the order, so it‘s stored
to DB).

One of the ideas is written in the bugtrack entry:

https://bugs.oxid-esales.com/view.php?id=2260

 

… that baskets from the previous session and current order would be merged
using simple rule.

Though tjungl (see comments from him next to the bug entry) is right that
this concept still would be confusing for customer as some stuff may occur
in the current basket unexpectedly.

So suggestion is to ask user if he want to merge baskets or no.

Going further – would be even better to give user possibility to choose
which of the products should be merged, which not. The vision is like
displaying content of two baskets and moving it between right <-> left -> or
cancel some. Or just display popup with content of previous basket and
checkboxes for products, which should be merged.

 

Anyway such feature would be additional stuff to the order processing area. 

But – what are your ideas about that:

-          Do we need such feature at all? Would it be useful?

-          Or better just apply some simple rule for merging and inform
about changes done?

-          Would it affect/reduce the conversion rate (by adding more
complex content to critical place)?

-          Or maybe you have better ideas how to handle that in the simpler
way?

 

 

Best regards,

Dainius Bigelis
