Make the cart work for your online store: raising the order total

An Odesa online spice store has put a table of dis­counts that depend on the order total on its cart page. A very good idea, I think. This way you can encour­age the cus­tomer to raise the order total to get free deliv­ery or a discount.

The scheme can be improved with a tech­nique common in Western online stores: “add some­thing worth $N to your cart and get a dis­count” or “add some­thing worth $N to enter the promotion/prize draw”.

True, this store hasn’t worked out its dis­count scheme well enough: only 5%, and no fur­ther tiers.
