5.3.3
Used to store orders for another user to read
Since the basket can be recovered by any user with the email address and
name/password, a CactuShop saved basket is perfect if you wish to select
items and get someone else on a different machine to recover the basket and
pay for the items.
5.3.4
Issues affecting recovered baskets
If a basket has been stored for some time, it may be that the products in the
basket are no longer available, or the specification/price may have changed.
In the first instance, items no longer available or items out of stock will be
removed from the cart automatically. However, the user should always check
recovered items through to ensure the specification and price is acceptable.
CactuShop provides a link to the basket and a message explaining this so that
customers will be encouraged to check through recovered basket details.
5.4 Wish
List
The wish list lets individuals prepare a list of items on the site that they can
then make available to friends and relatives. This is perfect for wedding lists,
children's Christmas presents and other such situations.
5.4.1
Creating and saving a wish list
In order to create a wish list, simply load up the basket with all the items
required and then click the `wish list' link on the main menu. In the second
section on the page, there is a link to create a new wish list. The user
specifies their email address, first and last names, the private password they
wish to use for editing the list and the public password they will circulate to
their friends and relatives. In order to personalize the experience, they may
also specify a greeting that those viewing the list will see above it.
5.4.2
Editing a list
Editing a list is just as easy. Click the wish list link and enter the email address
and private password in the boxes on the second section of the page. You can
first recover the list (which will fill your basket with all the items in the wish
list) and then make any additions/changes before returning to save the list.
Remember that items that have already been purchased will be shown on the
list with a note to that effect.
At the point the wish list is saved, a confirmation email with the details is sent
for future reference.
5.4.3
Viewing a wish list
All friends and relatives need to view a list is the email address and public
password. They simply enter these in the top section of the wish list page and
click the `recover' button. This displays the items on the wish list so that they
can click through and view these. From here, they can add items to their
basket and buy them just as with normal items. At the point of purchase,
these purchased items will be removed from the wish list.
