How to create a cart using the Cart Builder

Ready to customize your instant price form? In this lesson, you learn how to edit an existing cart and build a cart from scratch.

 

How to edit an existing cart

To get started, hover over the GorillaDesk tab in the menu, then click the Cart Builder link.

Note: PowerCart is the default cart installed on your Home and primary Location page. So if you’d like to make changes to this cart, click the Edit link just below the cart’s name.

PowerCart Builder

To get started, click the Add Category button.

Then select a Category from the dropdown.

  • If you need to add one or more categories, click the Plus icon (➕).

Next, click the Add Service button.

Then select a Service related to the Category from the dropdown.

  • If you need to add one or more services, click the Plus icon (➕).

Next, select a Question related to the Service from the dropdown.

  • If you need to add one or more questions, click the Plus icon (➕).
  • Note: Make questions easy to answer. You don’t want prospects to abandon the form.

Next, click the Add Parameter button.

  • If you need to add one or more parameters, click the Plus icon (➕).

Finally, add your Prices and Values to each Parameter.

  • Prices are external, meaning prospects will see this price on the thank you page and confirmation email. If you set a Price to 0, prospects will NOT get an instant price.
  • Values are internal, and are used to help you calculate how much your leads are worth in the Dashboard and Reports area. So, you must add a value to each Parameter.

Note: Use the Duplicate Row button to clone Categories/Services and save time!
