The Usability Problems of Shopping Carts

Various problems faced while using a shopping cart

Description: The usability of a shopping cart means the degree of ease with which a shopper can use it.

Shopping carts are absolutely essential for any kind of online shopping be it grocery or apparel. Without them, the fun of shopping will decrease thousand folds. But there are plenty of issues that bother the shoppers regarding the shopping carts.

·         In some malls there are those websites which need the registration of your name and other details prior to be used. Just imagine, you are in a hurry and need to buy some important things from the online store, and what you found yourself into! Spending 10 minutes registering your name, address, phone number and other stuffs just to buy one thing. Moreover, the product might not even be available in the online store!

·        There are plenty websites that do not show the things on the shopping cart clearly. The shopper has to constantly recheck what he or she had selected while the process of rechecking is quite complicated for those websites.

·         Another issue that irritates most of the fans of e-commerce is that every time you need to go to the shopping cart to modify the choice you had made. For example if you had selected a pair of trousers in green and few moments later you want to change its colour or size. To do this small change, you have to check your shopping cart, delete the item and then select the same anew.

·         Random suggestions to add things to the cart are also very disturbing. Few people pay attention to those suggestions anyway.

Online shopping is most popular mode of shopping for today’s generation and if these issues with the shopping carts can be eliminated it might be the only mod of shopping n the near future.
