Using the Shopping Cart
To purchase items using our Shopping Cart, simply follow the steps listed below.
Placing an available item in your shopping cart does not reserve that item. Available inventory is only assigned to your order after you click the Place your order button and receive e-mail confirmation that we've received your order.
- Find an item that interests you. (If you need help, see our Search Tips.)
- Click the Add to Shopping Cart button on any item's product detail page.
- If you wish to add more than one item to your order, enter a new search term in the search box or click the Amazon.com tab to return to our home page.
- When you've finished adding items to your Shopping Cart, click the View Cart icon found at the top of every page on our store. If you've added an item and Your Shopping Cart is already visible on the right-hand side of the page, proceed to the next step.
- Click the Proceed to Checkout button to fill out the order form. If you are a returning customer, your 1-Click settings are turned on, and there are no Marketplace items in your cart, you can choose instead to buy your items using 1-Click ordering. Simply choose the correct name from the dropdown menu, click the Buy now with 1-Click button, and you're done!
If you want to modify your order before you complete the checkout process, here's how:
- Want to buy multiple quantities of an item in your Shopping Cart? Change the number in the Qty. box and click the Update button at the bottom of the cart. Please note that not all items for sale from Amazon Marketplace sellers can be purchased in multiple quantities.
- Want to remove an item from your Shopping Cart? Click the Delete button that appears to the left of any item in your cart.
- Prefer to wait until another day to buy some of the items in your Shopping Cart? Click the Save for later button that appears to the left of any item in your Shopping Cart. This will move the title below the cart, to a list of saved items that you may buy in the future. Click the Move to cart button next to an item when you are ready to purchase it. Please note that if you move an item from an Amazon Marketplace seller to the Saved Items--To Buy Later portion of your cart, we cannot guarantee that the item will still be for sale when you are ready to buy it. Items in your Shopping Cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on the item's product detail page. Please note that this price may differ from the price the item held when you first placed it in your cart.
