Question 1: What is meant by 'Shopping Cart' in context of e commerce?
Answer:
Shopping cart was used wherein the user had to remember and type certain information. It is now replaced by electronic shopping cart/basket that keeps record of the items the customer has selected and allows customers to view the details of the items selected. The customer can add new items or remove items. To order an item, a customer simply clicks at that item option. All details of an item, including its price, product no. and order identifying information are stored automatically in the cart.
