Wondering what modules are out there for an AJAX add to cart / my cart feature. From a quick google search, I'm not in love with the UI of most of the extensions that I'm finding.
The UI / functionality that I'm interested actually seems super simple. Maybe I'm not thinking of some features, but basically it's simply:
- Take the My Cart page and pop it in a modal when they click Add To Cart
- But remove the coupon / shipping options b/c that would be overkill.
I like how Gilt does it.
Any good modules out there that I'm missing? If not I may just build this – it seems like all I need to do is re-use the block on the My Cart page, and just pop it inside of a modal, and call it a day.

I have used a few:
Aheadworks Ajax Cart Pro:
http://ecommerce.aheadworks.com/magento-extensions/ajax-cart-pro.html
Which works really well. You can see it in action on http://shop.harpersbazaar.com
Amasty Ajax Cart:
http://amasty.com/ajax-shopping-cart.html
Works pretty well, too. Big upside on this one is the javascript is entirely Prototype-based. No duplicated jQuery dependency to worry about.
But - don't be afraid to roll your own! It's not so difficult:
Mage_Checkout_CartController
, specifically theaddAction
-- better yet, use apostdispatch
event observer.true
orfalse
to display the appropriate message.Best of luck!
