5. Shopping Cart Scenarios

There are many different ways to design an catalog with the CD Shopping Cart™ function. In order to provide users a clearer picture of how this can be done, 5 possible scenarios are discussed here.

5.1 Scenario One – Similar Product With Similar Packaging

This would probably be the simplest scenario. Take the example of you as a professional photographer creating an catalog CD for your proof book. The catalog is created with a single picture per page with some annotation as description of the picture. You (merchant) offer services to print the pictures in 4 standard sizes.
