Now select Add to Cart from the actions display panel
Optional 'Add a new button called view cart' This will show your visitors what is in their carts.
Find "Shopping Cart" under "Ecommerce", click "Edit".
The edit page of "showing cart" is similar to the "showing product's.
Select "Remove from cart" when the button is pressed. You might want to use a Go to step to go to the cart again to refresh, since there are quantities shown with products that differ from showing a static menu.
Now your basic flow should look like the image below.
Create a new button in the shopping cart block, then create an action step. Within this action step select ecommerce > Empty cart.
Alternatively you can create a quick reply button > Select "Empty Cart"
To simulate the checkout process, you will have to setup your Stripe Integration as well. Check how to setup Stripe.
If you don't want to put "Checkout" under each product, try adding one more text-type information after showing the cart:
When users checkout, a list of products will show with quantity and price first, following by an area to leave users' contact details:
Keep scrolling down you will see delivery options, coupon code and a summary of the order.
Finally, by selecting a payment option and clicking "Pay $xx.xx", the page will be directed to your payment gateway.
An order confirmation will be sent when payment succeed. Click on the confirmation to view the order detail.
"Buy" is actually a feature having nothing to do with the built-in ecommerce system. After setting up your payment gateway, users can purchase one product (can be from your Stripe account) with one click on the "Buy" button with no ecommerce system setting at all.
The feature is suitable for ticket product without options or paying subscription fees, etc.
There are several system field storing information about the ecommerce system. Usually, the system will tell you where to find according to data like this:
You can access them wherever you see "</>":
"SHOP" stores all information about your ecommerce settings.
"ORDER" stores the user's last order. You only get an order after checkout.
"CART" stores the user's shopping cart.
When you choose "Select" when a button pressed, the selected item is stored in "SELECT".
