On March 30, 2010 Yahoo! Store officials announced via their blog that a Floating Cart Manager can now be installed into Yahoo! Stores.
Yahoo! Store owners that take advantage of this new feature should expect higher conversion rates and a better customer shopping experience overall.
Yahoo! Store Design & Development company, FastPivot.com is now offering floating cart installs for custom Yahoo! store clients.  See purchase page.
With this new cart, store owners have the option to set up and customize a mini-cart and floating cart for their store pages. These features are designed to keep your customers in the shopping flow until they’re ready to complete their order, which helps optimize their shopping experience and encourages increased order values.
When the floating cart is enabled, you can offer the following checkout features to your customers, without causing them to exit your store pages to a separate checkout flow:
* Display the items currently in the shopper’s cart, along with the quantity of each item added.
* Display the order subtotal.
* Allow customers to increase or decrease the quantity of each item ordered, and to remove items.
* Offer customers the ability to calculate shipping costs to US and Canada destinations.
* Let customers to apply a coupon to their order.
* Offer a free shipping promotion, and display messages both before and after an order qualifies for free shipping.
A mini-cart shows customers a summary of their order information, including the number of items and order subtotal, even if the floating cart is closed or not enabled. When the floating cart is enabled for a store, but is closed, customers can click on the mini-cart to re-open the floating cart.
The floating cart and mini cart can be styled to match the look at feel of your store.
As with any new product, Yahoo will be releasing updates and correcting any issues as arise. If your current store structure is incompatible with the new floating cart, Yahoo may come out with a new update or we may need to adjust the pricing for this feature installation.
