Five-step walkthrough

Walkthrough: E-commerce platform

Five screenshots in the order I would talk through them. Each step names what to look at, and every chip and Prev/Next link is a real URL fragment.

Store home page: the featured Technics SL-1200 MK5 panel with a currently-sold-out notice and a photograph of the turntable, above a New this month row of four from-priced tiles under the label Eight recent additions.

Step 1 of 5

The storefront opens on the catalogue

The home page leads with the featured Technics turntable, marked sold out, above a New this month row of four from-priced tiles under the label Eight recent additions. The header carries search, the demo account and an empty cart.

Sennheiser HD 598 product page: a headphone photograph on the left and a buy box with the 199.00 price, the Beige variant, In stock, quantity 1 and one Add to cart action on the right.

Step 2 of 5

The buy box carries the price

The Sennheiser HD 598 page puts the photograph on the left and the buy box on the right. The box reads 199.00, names the Beige variant, shows In stock and offers one Add to cart action.

Cart with two lines at quantity 1 — Sennheiser HD 598 and Kestrel Pocket DAC — line totals, a server-computed 218.00 summary, free shipping and one Continue to checkout action.

Step 3 of 5

Two lines, two items

The cart page lists the Sennheiser at 199.00 and the Kestrel Pocket DAC at 19.00, both at quantity 1. The server-computed summary reads 218.00 with free shipping and one Continue to checkout action.

Checkout with the Stripe Payment Element mounted: card, Pay By Bank, Bancontact, MB WAY, Satispay and EPS options, a Pay 218.00 action, and the recalculated order summary beside it.

Step 4 of 5

Stripe collects the sandbox card

The checkout page shows the Stripe Payment Element with card, Pay By Bank and four local methods. The Pay 218.00 action sits beneath the element, and the order summary repeats the server total.

Cart with two lines at quantity 1 — Sennheiser HD 598 and Kestrel Pocket DAC — line totals, a server-computed 218.00 summary, free shipping and one Continue to checkout action.

Step 5 of 5

The summary is computed from the lines

The Order summary panel on the cart page repeats the two line totals as a 218.00 subtotal with free shipping. The note beneath the checkout action says the final total is confirmed when the order is placed.
