Shopping cart: a basic function on any store but Epic.

Why is there no Shopping Cart on itch.io? It would solve a lot of problems.

Right now, without it:

1) You can't buy games under 50c

2) It makes the sale period immensely tedious.

3) It's an increase in payment processing costs/amounts.

It's a basic function on any online store (except for Epic).

Seller accounts can use different combinations of payment processors so it makes it impossible to provide a global shopping cart that would work across the site in a lot of scenarios. We do have some plans to make bulk purchases a bit easier when buying multiple games from single developers though.

I have multiple games below $1 that I would like to buy right now. I can't unless I pay $1 for each of them with individual purchases.


I guess I'll maybe just go elsewhere?

Do you lie often? Your comment was posted three years ago and this still has not been implemented.

Any chance we can expect this anytime soon?

Hi Leafo. I see this is a post from 3 years ago: Has this ever been implemented?
I currently try to get multiple assets from the same developer, and it looks like I still have to buy these all separately.

I know this is from 4 years ago, but you realize that right now, anything with $1 for a regular selling price means it can basically just never be on sale, right? Paypal and card processors won't let you buy things for less than a dollar, so with no cart, there's no way to buy these unless you buy them for $1.  Now, for one thing, that would be fine, but if I want to buy 20 things that are normally a dollar, that's now significant. You guys have to come up with something, either letting us bundle by seller or payment processor or whatever, we need something so we can actually utilize sales on smaller things.

What about grouping by payment processors? Like all people who accept Paypal...

There’s a holiday bundle that let me find about five asset packs I want, but I do not need the other 12 things in the bundle. So I’m about to go buy them all one at a time. Wishing for a cart.

I also really wish for a shopping cart system. I noticed over time I almost always end up with a lot of opened tabs of assets that I want to buy, ending up not buying anything in the end as the paying process one by one is too tedious.

I get that sellers process payments differently, but could we get this as a feature at the seller level? There's a bundle right now, but everything I want in it is 50 cents, and I don't need the bundle, just parts.

Wow a simple functionality still not developed. If seller accounts handle payments separately then don't allow multiple sellers in the same cart. I am sending the code snippet in case you don't know. 4 years and still not implemented

if (previousSeller!=currentSeller) {

return 0;

}

This is so frustrating. Why is there even an option to buy things less than $1 if it forces each item to be $1 anyway? I'm trying to buy something for $0.10 but still requires '100 cents minimum'.
