Simplify Your Customer Experience!
Did you know that you can easily and automatically clear your shopping cart so that when the customer checks out, the only product in their cart is the one they’re buying?
You might be asking yourself why you would want to clear out a potential customer’s shopping cart? Well, often merchants want to offer a package with multiple levels of service, or they want to bundle packages or choices.
The challenge then arises when the customer clicks each level of service, bundled package, or choice just to “look at it” and all of them end up in the customer’s shopping cart for checkout.
Or when a customer purchases a product, then comes back to buy from you a day or two later, and the product they previously ordered is still in the shopping cart. (Should we remove this one? I don’t see why that would be a “bad” thing…)
To prevent this from happening, you can add the following parameter to the end of each product link:
&clear=1
The “&clear=1″ parameter at the end of the link clears the shopping cart, and the current level of service, bundle, or choice clicked by the customer is the only product selection added!
Your customers will thank you for simplifying their shopping experience!
Does this also clear affiliate tracking?what all does it clear on the cookie schmookie tech side?
Hi Josh,
This doesn’t clear your affiliate tracking schmookies.
If your visitors are referred from an affiliate link and you use this code at the end of your product URL the referring affiliate will still receive credit.
All the best,
