Thank you for your order!

If this had been an actual shopping cart, this is where you would have had them enter their personal information and payment method and then taken care of any backend processing before finalizing their order. However as this is a shopping cart sample and this is where security becomes a problem, we'll leave it for a future sample. <% Case Else ' Shop ShowFullCatalog %>

<% End Select ' Return cart to Session for storage Set Session("cart") = dictCart %>
