Shopping Cart

By Peace | October 13, 2007

Shopping is a common routine for Second Life users. Residents want to look pretty and there is a need to do some shopping every now and then. However, I find that none of the shop in Second Life has shopping cart. Many times when I was shopping, I found that there was much inconvenience. As with real life shopping, I want to compare prices and normally, there was so much choices. At the end of shopping, we would want to make our selection. However, at big stores, by the time I had finished with the whole store, I had forgotten how to go back to the place where I had found the items I like.

Shops in Second Life should have a shopping cart. They should scripts like that of shopping cart software so that shoppers can put in all their favourite items in their shopping cart. I would like to make payment at the end of shopping. However, in Second Life, shopping for your favourite items are done item by item. There are no ‘basket’ or trolleys or shopping cart for convenience shopping.

In most internet online store, shopping is much more convenient than Second Life stores. There are shopping cart available in almost 90% of the stores that I had visited. Ashop Commerce is a leading US provider of hosted shopping cart software. They offer shopping cart software for shop owners. The best thing about them is their 10-day free trial of the software. I think Second Life should have such software as well.
