Shopping Cart Improvement - Please do this

[Knight Spirit]

Hi, Massively helpful suggestion:

Make a checklist (square box on the left of game/app titles) within the shopping cart to make it so that we can purchase one game at a time if we want to??? (Or say: 5 out of 7 items that are in the cart and then the remaining Two would stay in the cart)

This way we won't have to remove items from our shopping cart just to place them back in later whenever we have more personal funding for games/apps etc.

This would be TREMENDOUSLY time saving and Super convenient.

Hope to see it!

Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving to all

I see the option that I have described on my Amazon app (as well as the buy now option per individual item)

- maybe check again?

Either way, it would be a Great chance for your platform to stand out and have something different and give customers more options.

Y'all eat some turkey, meet with your higher ups, and think about it. 😊

Have a Great Thanksgiving 🍽️

This is a "user" forum.

Nope because no online digital cart works the way you have suggested.

Aliexpress cart does. I've done lots of partial purchases from the stuff in my cart there.

Not a site i have used but thanks for the update.

All the sites i use only allow for either singular item purchases or multiple item purchases.

Cool. So how doesit work?
You go to your "normal" shopping cart, the list of items where you can change the amounts, configuration (like gift wrap or something), or delete items and then select which one's you will actually buy and then does it
- take you to another shopping cart view or
- start the checkout process, i.e. selecting payment and shipment with these items locked in?
And the stuff you haven't check out for is still in the cart?

So basically your "cart" just acts like a seperate wishlist?
I am tired and can't wrap my head around it. Putting items on a list to put them on a list to checkout seems like an odd concept when you already have a list from where you can put items on a list to checkout.

I'm sure it works similar to Amazons shopping cart: the items that you don't buy (uncheck) remain in the shopping cart, while the ones that you check are purchased/ordered.

It's really very convenient

Basically every item has its checkbox (and amount buttons) so you just check which of all the stuff in the cart you want to purchase (final price is dinamically adjusted through each change). When you're happy you click 'purchase'... and it starts the checkout process for just that selection.

And the unchecked items remain in the cart for later.

The main difference with a wishlist is to be able dinamically adjust my purchase. The wishlist is nice and I use it too on aliexpress. I put in the shopping cart stuff I do intent to purchase (mostly not in one sitting) and being able to check and uncheck stuff allows you to dinamically see how much I am spending without going through the process of adding and removing stuff from the cart and go back and forth between the wishlist(s) and the cart.

Imagine if items in your wishlist had a checkbox and you could dinamically see the total cost of all the items you've selected and it allowed once you're decided to bring that selection to your shopping cart, all just from your wishlist.

I do something similar now On Steam during big sales. Start adding things to the cart and then I curate that selection. But it requires me to add and remove stuff (And the contents of the cart only remain 72h here) which is kind of a PITA.

Now I get it.
Yeah, that sounds like a neat feature, definitely going to keep that one in mind for later projects.

I usually go through the sale and put all items in my spreadsheet (yes, people who know me will be totally surprised about this) and tick them on and off the same to gauge my budget.

OP should have lead with that instead of "putting on stuff for later, when you have more money". ;)

I'm so glad to see that the air is becoming clear on this topic 😊

While we are here also just one more tid bit from me: it would also be nice if possible that when I add an item to my cart that steam doesn't immediately take me to the cart window.

Cheers

The cart is not meant to be a holding spot for your items you 'might' buy, that's what the WISHLIST is for.
Use the cart for items you plan of buying right then.
