This is how AJAX shopping cart window looks on the frontend.

When there are no options available to select on the catalog page itself (e.g. Home Page), customers can specify the product options (color, size, quantity) directly in the dialog pop-up, without going to the product details page.

Here are the types of a dialog pop-up you can choose to display:

When a customer adds a product to the cart without specifying mandatory options (e.g. size, colour, etc.), the AJAX pop-up will be displayed. The customer will be able to choose the required options right in this pop-up.

When adding products to cart, customers will see the item they are adding to cart and also brief cart overview – the number of items in the cart and current subtotal.

This is how the flying image visual effect looks like. It appears when a customer adds a product to the shopping cart.

You can add related products block in the cart dialog. Customers will see it when they add a product to the cart.
