Insight

Many customers like to add lots of products to their cart and then edit it later, you can make this process distraction-free by unchecking the  Show cart after adding product box. By doing this your customers won't be interrupted by the cart page until they are ready to navigate to it themselves and edit their order and of course, make their purchase.
