Magento Add Multiple Products to Cart Extension Overview¶

As you know, Magento default does not allow customers to add many products to carts at one time in the product list pages such as category pages and search result pages. Therefore, customers cannot order their desired products with a large quantity when they do not want to visit each product page one by one because it is very time-consuming.

Magento Add Multiple Products to Cart is developed by BSSCommerce to solve this issue and bring better shopping experience for customers. By allowing customers to add multiple items to cart with various quantities at once, they can save a lot of time with the quicker order process than the normal one and also store owners can increase sales well, especially when target customers are wholesalers.
