What is Add to Cart multiple products?
In WooCommerce when you click on “add to cart”, the product is added to your cart. In this procedure, each time you have to go to the product page. For purchasing a single product, this is OK, but if you want to buy multiple products at a time, each time you click on “Add To Cart,” you’re redirected to checkout. Isn’t that a bit boring.
Why do you need to add multiple Product to Cart?
If you want to increase your sales, you’ve got to give your customers some advantages to choose their preferred products. If someone buys multiple products at a time, he may feel the need to checkout once for all of their chosen item at a time. In that case, you need to add the feature to checkout once for all the selected products at a time.
When do you need Add to Cart multiple Products?
To benefit more from your WooCommerce store, you need to know about the buying habits of your customers. Do they purchase multiple products at a time? If yes, then you may need to give the feature to add multiple products and checkout once for all selected products. Here are a couple of examples of when you need the feature.
- If you run a bookstore, then customers may buy multiple books at a time. Each time they click on “Add to Cart,” they are redirected to the checkout page. When a customer buys five books, he’ll be redirected to the checkout page five times. Isn’t that boring?
- When you’ve got a wholesale WooCommerce store, then customers may buy multiple products. So they have to visit the checkout page for each purchase. Give them an offer to select multiple products and pay the bill at checkout once.
- If you manage a food order form or have a restaurant , you know that customers don’t always buy a single item. Most of the time, they order multiple items. So your selling rate will be high if you get the opportunity to checkout once for all the selected items.
So we added an option to select multiple products at a time from one page. Now I’ll show you how to add multiple products to the cart simultaneously and checkout once for all the selected products.
Let’s see how it looks now…
On the right side of the table, there is a checkbox to select multiple products, and above the table is an Add to Cart button to drop the products into the cart.
