AJAX and Ecommerce, a Match Made in Heaven

More and more clients are investing in usability and AJAX to up their Ecommerce game.

Traditional shopping cart experiences require much longer to get a customer checked out. How many times have you started to purchase a product and stopped because the process was a few steps too long or you had enough waiting for the pages to load? AJAX can minimize data load and streamline your User Interface pushing your sales up in return and leaving your customers with a great impression. After all repeat business is the best kind of business.

Impulse Shopping? Well you can only do so much in a virtual atmosphere but there is a lot of ways to use AJAX to present options and products to customers that are far more interactive that simply suggesting a product. Drag and drop shopping is a good example of Impulse shopping online.

How long is this going to take?

You may find it easier to code it from scratch rather than fixing a dead horse but it is possible to convert an existing cart to AJAX if you have code that is pretty fresh. So let's break down the key components:

• UI calling AJAX requests
• PHP scripting to receive AJAX calls and present different data or set cookies based on requests sent
• Client side scripting of any Callback functions required, depending on how intricate you want to get.

Pretty simple to start off with. Basically it is just a matter of changing any form actions to AJAX calls. It can be time consuming changing forms to AJAX sends so I would have Javascript change handlers onload. This takes care of browser compatability issues as well.
