    Redirect continue shopping button

    Hi,
    On your new Suivant theme the continue shopping link located in the shopping basket sends the shopper back to the home page forcing the customer to start all over again each time they use this link.

    This is a Bad choice and could chase shoppers away. This seems to me to be an error in the program design and I hope you will correct is very soon.

    This link should be directed at the last page a customer was shopping on.

    I have contacted your support but they tell me that they don't know how to change this, that it is a design issue.

    In our old continue shopping module is was easy, just change a single code.

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Hi Robert,

    We have been discussing this UI object and are working on a better solution to make it work as one might expect. I believe the first place you would see something implemented would be in our ReadyThemes in one of the next point releases.

      Robert - in the mean time you can still use the Emporium Plus Toolkit to create a Continue Shopping link.

        Our Continue Shopping module offers short link support and the option to take shoppers back to the product page if you choose, something the Tool Kit method can't do: http://apps.miva.com/product/GD-CONTINUE.html

          So a true Continue Shopping button is still dependent upon a third party option?

            Hey Leslie,

            I use the following. Doesn't require a 3rd party module. Works fine as long as the customer clicks continue shopping, and nothing else..., after arriving in the basket. Otherwise they'll get the home page. You may need to modify this based on your stores needs.

            Code:
            <mvt:if expr="g.search">
                <a href="&mvt:global:sessionurl;Screen=SRCH&amp;..." class="btn btn-default">Return to Search</a>
            <mvt:elseif expr="g.Old_Screen EQ 'CTGY'">
                <a href="http://&mvt:global:domain:name;/category/&mvta:global:Category_Code;.html?..." class="btn btn-default">Continue Shopping</a>
            <mvt:elseif expr="g.Old_Screen EQ 'EXOR'">
                <a href="http://&mvt:global:domain:name;/EXOR.html" class="btn btn-default">Continue Shopping</a>
            <mvt:elseif expr="g.Product_Code">  
                <a href="http://&mvt:global:domain:name;/product/&mvta:global:Product_Code;.php" class="btn btn-default">Continue Shopping</a>
            <mvt:else>
                <a href="http://&mvt:global:domain:name;/" class="btn btn-default">Continue Shopping</a>
            </mvt:if>

              Robert,

              If you are using Suviant, with a mini basket display, why do customers need to "go back" anywhere since they stay on the product page? If they choose to go to the basket page on their own, one would think they know how to find something, no? (In other words, maybe not even have a "Continue Shopping button". Otherwise, I'd go the module route as its going to be more 'predictive' of the customer's intent.

                Dan,

                Will the Glendale Continue Shopping module work with static pages (ala Merchant Optimizer)? I am guessing not, but would love to be pleasantly surprised. :-P

                  Eldon,

                  Actually, It should since its doing its work on the Basket Screen which is Not Static. I believe they capture they referring URI, so it should take them back to a static page.

                    Our module goes well beyond just the referring URI and relies on Miva's API, so it would not work. We could possibly implement some sort of javascript tracking, but there are a number of hurdles that would need to be overcome with such a feature in the case of Merchant Optimizer.

                    While we are on the topic of speed optimization, we have developed some tools similar to what Miva uses in their ReadyThemes, however they take things a little further. We have had great success with initial testing and plan on adding additional features for greater optimization. With these tools you do no loose dynamic functionality like you would with a solution that converts Miva pages to static.

                    These tools will not be a retail module per se, but an integration service. If anyone is interested, please feel free to reach out to us.

                      Thanks Bruce,

                      Follow-up question. can I also assume it works with whatever screen you tell it to track, e.g. SearchSpring's SEARCH page? That was a limitation of Toolkit.

                      Regards,
