Quick Store Tutorial 47
Step 2: Setting Up Login and Checkout
The basic checkout area includes pages where the site shopper can change the
contents in the shopping cart, and decide to check out. The first stage of checking
out is the login page. Returning shoppers are sent to the checkout page. The
checkout page displays the shopping cart’s contents and their personal account
information. The returning shopper can decide to change the personal
information from this page. New shoppers are sent to a page where they enter
their personal account information. After providing their account information
they may proceed to the checkout page.
