Features

A customer that has registered on the KonaKart online store, has a number of features available that make his shopping experience more efficient:

• Customers can view their order history and order statuses and download these in PDF format.
• Customers can resubmit orders with a single click.
• Customers can maintain their accounts. They have an address book for multiple shipping and billing addresses.
• There is a permanent shopping cart for customers so that items added to the cart remain there even after a customer logs out.
• If a customer finds an item that he would like to buy, he can add it to a wish list to avoid searching for it again next time he logs in. The KonaKart API supports multiple named wish lists for each customer.
• Gift registries such as wedding lists can be created and maintained by registered customers. Any customer can search for public gift registries and purchase items from a registry, which may be shipped to the address defined by the registry owner.
• Customers can write product reviews to share their experiences with others.
• Customers can save page setup preferences such as the number of products, orders and reviews displayed on a page.
• Customers can subscribe to products to receive related emails/newsletters. For example an email could be automatically sent to all customers that have registered for a product, to inform them that the product is now in stock.
  • All emails are template driven and so fully customizable using the Apache Velocity template language.
