Hi there. I'm new to this forum. hello all. On many ecommerce websites, there is a mini checkout on every page. What's the chance of this feature on future versions?? I think it would be a great feature.

Yeah i would also like to see this also.

Seems like adding a modified ezimpro350.js to the template output would do it, or even adding a 'mini-cart' code to ezimpro350.js that can be called upon with a form like viewcart does?

Maybe use CSS for layout of a 'mini-cart' which is pulling some of the same info as viewcart.htm does from ezimpro350.js but in a much more simplfied, compact way. Would really just have to be a product and price per line with a line break and a total price at the end. Force a page refresh when a product is added to the cart so it reflects in the mini-cart or else have a popup note which states the cart will update upon next page load. That could be turned on or off in the scripts options (along with the CSS elements).

A minicart using CSS text output that's called with a form based off a simple version of ezimpro350.js, would make it easy to modify colour/text/size etc and wouldn't need to be used if you didn't want it.

You could make it an option in the EziMerchant template program which determines whether that script is generated or not so it doesn't have to be added to already established sites if a user doesn't want it.

Would be handy for shops that expect orders to contain multple items and which have a lot of stock to browse.
