- No matter how many items are purchased at checkout, there is only one transaction fee
- An automatic donation request can be displayed to constituents before they check out
- All funds are in a single cash account for easy funds requests

Cart Configuration and Store Settings In preparation for next Tuesday's rollout, all customers should review their cart configuration settings. While most customers have not changed the default settings, we strongly recommend that everyone review the settings to confirm that they meet your needs. If your organization is new to the administrator shopping cart, you should review Cart Configuration and Store Settings to understand the options that affect how the shopping cart works. To access Cart Configuration and Store Settings, follow these steps. - In the Administer panel, click Store Management. The Product Administration page will be displayed, showing the default organization and financial account for the shopping cart.
- Make sure that the top-level organization is selected in the Organization menu.
- In the Utilities section, click Cart Configuration. The Modify Store Settings page will be displayed.
