The secure shopping cart feature works as a bridge between the buyer and the merchant. It distributes the customer's information to the payment processor, the merchant, and other third-parties. The shopping cart will build customer's trust in your online store's security and safety.

Definition: A shopping cart on an online retailer's site is a piece of software that facilitates the purchase of a product or service. It accepts the customer's payment and organizes the distribution of that information to the merchant, payment processor and other parties.

An ecommerce shopping cart is software that enables customers to make purchases on a website. It takes the customer's payment, verifies the payment method, processes the transaction, and completes the checkout process, all in a matter of seconds.

Add to cart means the action of adding an item to the virtual purchasing order. When a consumer locates an item they wish to purchase, they click the icon. The item is then placed in their purchasing cart until they decide to proceed to checkout or continue browsing.
