Add a 5th shopping cart step 
Autor: John W.The shopping cart process has 4 steps. But the first step is cluttered. A customer adds an item to a cart,
and it brings you to a page to select payment and shipping methods right away. Break up step 1 into
step 1A and step 1B. Let customers add items to a cart. Get the continue shopping and next buttons higher
on the page. Do not throw anything at them about payment or shipping methods yet. Let them continue
to add items to their cart with less stuff on the screen. Then when they are ready to click NEXT, bring them
to the page with the shipping and payment methods, and then the next button from there goes to the current
step two. Basically break up step one into two parts. Having to read down or scroll down past the shipping
and payment methods every time to get to the continue shopping button adds work for the customer.
I think this would be a welcome improvement.
Hi John,
thank you for your message.
Please consider this is already essentially possible: you can in fact activate the Add the product without showing the Cart option as shown in the picture below:
Please let me know if I can be of further help. Kind regards.

Thank you, Elisa. I just looked at that. Yet now it opens a new question. Does this need to be checked for each
Product category item added per cell, or can it be set universally throughout the program as being checked?
And then I guess part two of that question, if it can be set universally, but set after tons of pages are created
with it not checked, I would imagine anything created would need to be manually changed???
Hi John,
if you check this option it will be applied to the products you decided to show with that single Product Catalog Object, i.e. if you have more than one product catalog object you need to set this option for all of them.
Please let me know if I can be of further help. Kind regards.

That helps. If I discover that customers are annoyed by seeing it every time, then I will go back and change
170+ pages that have cart items in the cells. But since more than half the customers buy only one item at a
time, probably not going to be a major big deal. Thanks for the input.
