- Both drop-down menus displayed on the product_info.php and shopping_cart.php pages must show the same information about the number of items on the shopping cart;

- This contribution let's the customer experience faster and better.

Users Requests/Feedback

==========================================================

" To have the same features as the product info to have the quantity dropdown box linked with the inventory stock. Could this be done with your coding? for the product_new.php, product_listing.php & special php"

 

"...I think the best part of this contribution is it can update the shopping cart total without leaving this page or click anywhere, that it what I need badly.

 

Thank you for your great work and help."
