Our Shopping Cart has been temporarily unavailable for the past 3 days as we install the Google Checkout and Paypal processing services. I am happy to announce that we are done with that part of the installation. We have found a couple other elements in the shopping cart to improve whilst in down mode so we are going to jump on this rare opportunity to implement those adjustments.
Once we are done you will be able to add items to your shopping cart and those items will stay in your cart with the help of a cookie stored on your browser. Cookies get a bad rap but any shopping cart you've used be it on Amazon, eBay, CDBaby, etc. all depend in one way or another on cookies. Yes some sites might abuse cookies by overloading your browser with unneccesary-memory-indulgent data which is where their bad rap comes from.
But our cookie will be a nice simple trans fat free (and I mean no trans fats none of this FDA loop hole mumbo jumbo!) semi-sweet chocolate morsel, natural buttery good cookie. Just kidding! No it will be a simple tiny cookie that stores an item ID for each item you've added to your cart. This way you could add something to your cart leave Ekaweeka, come back later and the item will still be waiting for you to bring it home.
We're shooting for 2 days on these developments. Once complete the new and improved shopping cart will be up and kickin EkaButt. We'll keep you posted with any news until then :-)
