An embedded shopping cart (or embedded checkout or embedded commerce), refers to integrating e-commerce functionalities directly within another platform or website, seamlessly blending the shopping experience with the existing user interface. In simple terms, this means that it's like having a store inside your website, where customers can add products to a cart and make purchases without being redirected to a different website. This saves businesses a ton of time and money when they don’t need to run two different websites and can turn their existing website into a sales channel.
By embedding an ecommerce solution, businesses can enable customers to make purchases, add items to their cart, and complete transactions without redirecting their customers to a separate e-commerce website. This streamlined approach enhances convenience, reduces friction, and provides a cohesive user experience, ultimately driving higher conversion rates and boosting sales for businesses across various industries.
Why choose embedded shopping cart over a separate ecommerce store?
While there isn’t such a thing as a solution that is perfect for everybody, there are certain situations where it’s possibly a better solution to embed a shopping cart to your website.
→ If you already have your products (or services) explained and visible on your website and just want to have a shopping cart functionality (and not build another website!)
→ if you want to get both orders and requests for quotes through the same website. With AddCart you can add this functionality to your website in minutes
→ If you don’t have the possibility to invest both large amounts of money and time to create, develop and maintain a separate ecommerce store
