Shopping cart needs improvement, shopping cart should not be empty unless invoice being paid.

right now shopping cart generate the invoice for customer and send it to them without pay off!

let say I have a credit cart terminal, like 100 different shopping carts, visitor add items to shoping cart, ready to check out, after filling the form it should go to terminal for pay, then shows the message " thank you for shopping with us, etc".

right know after they fill the form, it shows thank you for shopping with us, you order has been place now hit the buynow button, etc!

we should have more advance payment modules, the most usefull one is "Paypal Advance" (which includes paypal, pay me later, and terminal for credit card) and for more advance businesses "Paypal Pro".

another problem with current shopping cart is, once they fill the form, program make the cart empty and generate invoice number, if they change their mind and want to add another item to cart, they can not, because cart is empty (keep in mind they didn't pay yet) cart should be empty after invoice being paid and not before.

another important improvement is stock control, many items are limited, for example you only have 10 of XO cd's, there is no control in shopping cart to not be added more than 10 of xo item. also we should have ability to limit an item for 1 per customer/invoice.

discount ribbon's and new ribbons: we should be able to add those ribbons from setting inside product list widget without need to set anything inside step4 shopping cart.

tax: we should be able to remove the tax column for shipping, if we dont need to charge tax for shipping, right now still shows tax column with $0.00.

discount coupon: we should be able to set % or fix amount for discount.

we should be able to put limit for coupon: for example if there are 10 different items in shopping cart only 1 item get the discount and not the whole shopping cart.

or the coupon being set for period amont of time( like 3 days) and get disable automaticly.

we should be able have real memebership database, so in that case once customer open an account, shopping cart knows and uses customers information stored in shopping cart database, so they dont have to each time fill the form (name, address, country,etc)

I think if you would be able to create a integraded database for shopping cart, you would be able to add stock control and many functions as well.

Also that databese need to be able to be in touch with the server's database, so while we update (let say add products) inside our database and if something has been soled on the internet, these two database needs to be able to sync to make sure every thing runs smooth and there no conflict.

for products add on, we should be able to create more than one drop down for product, and drop down should only be visible under product and not inside shopping cart, so once you choose your product and hit the add, the final choice being showed inside shopping cart.

please let your developer be aware of these issue otherwise incomedia will be far away from lates changes in webdesign languages/technology/programs/interfaces

Thank you and Keep up the good work.
