Setup Guide : Adding multiple items to the cart at one time

Giving your customers the ability to add multiple items to their cart at one time is very simple. Instead of putting each item in their own form tag (i.e. <FORM > </FORM>) All you need to do is put all the items within a single form tag.

Here is an example:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.myshopcart.com/cart/shop.cgi">

<!--FIRST PRODUCT-->

How may products?
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="merchant" VALUE="Merchant_Name">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="item-Product_ID|Price|Produce_Name|Weight" size="3">
<P>

<!--SECOND PRODUCT-->

How may products?
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="merchant" VALUE="Merchant_Name">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="item-Product_ID|Price|Produce_Name|Weight" size="3">
<P>

<!--THIRD PRODUCT-->

How may products?
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="merchant" VALUE="Merchant_Name">
<SELECT NAME="item-Product_ID|Price|Produce_Name|Weight"
<OPTION VALUE="0">0</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="1">1</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="2">2</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="3">3</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="4">4</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="5">5</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="6">6</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="7">7</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="8">8</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="9">9</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="10">10</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<P>

<!--FOURTH PRODUCT-->

How may products?
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="merchant" VALUE="Merchant_Name">
<INPUT TYPE="CheckBox" NAME="item-Product_ID|Price|Produce_Name|Weight" Value="1">
<P>

<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="add" VALUE="Add to Cart">

</FORM>

This is what the code above would look like:
