An average e-commerce shopping cart refers to the virtual basket or cart that holds items selected by a customer while shopping online. It is a digital representation of a physical shopping cart, where customers can add, remove, and modify their desired products before proceeding to the checkout process. The average e-commerce shopping cart also allows customers to view the total cost of their items, apply discounts or promo codes, and choose their preferred payment and shipping methods. It serves as a convenient and efficient tool for customers to organize their online purchases and for businesses to track and process orders.
