Available options
Multi-item Cart
With HostBill you have the opportunity to choose the shopping cart model that best suits your business needs. With multi-item cart you allow your customers to build multi-item orders (this way you can sell more at once). Optionally you can stick to single-item cart, which is the fastest way to get the client from selecting the product to checkout.
Choose the multi-item cart option:
- Enable - allow more than one service in cart
- Disable - only one service in cart
Redirection after order
This option controls which page will be displayed after the client successfully submits new order. You can choose one of the following options:
- Redirect the user to the invoice - user will be taken to the newly generated invoice
- Redirect the user to the gateway - user will be taken to payment gateway page (this may vary between modules, some may instantly capture payment and redirect to order completed page)
- Show the order completed page - default page that displays order information.
If ordered service is free, HostBill will use 'order completed page'.
