You can sell multiple products from your VSG/PMP installation. No shopping cart is needed unless you
have a need to take orders for multiple products, or have other special needs due to selling physical
products, calculating shipping, etc.
If you decide to use a cart, here is some additional information:
===========================================
FYI re your question using a cart. Each product in VSG is tracked
separately. Note that there's just 1 commission scheme that applies to all
products sold via the VSG site, but you can sell multiple products if you
want to.
I suggest starting with just one in the
beginning.
Details below.
Q: What would the customer
experience be like? e.g. Click order button from
panel, go to
cart, hit "back" and order another product in VSG or can
they order
all the products from the cart catalog and then VSG knows
what they
bought somehow?
A: Both is possible. If there are more
items in basket, then special integration is needed to
iterate over all
items and generate following sale registration code:
var OrderId
= "XXX";
var TotalCost="{price_of_product_1}";
var
ProductId="{product_1}";
vsgSale();
var
TotalCost="{price_of_product_2}";
var ProductId="{product_2}";
vsgSale();
....
var TotalCost="{price_of_product_N}";
var ProductId="{product_N}";
vsgSale();
