If a customer returns to your Productcart store after adding something to the cart but not purchasing the Ajax popup appears showing the items and giving the customer an option to clear the cart.

If the customer is on the home page this is fine however, if the customer reaches the store via a different link, say to a product page when they clear the cart using the Ajax popup link the customer is automatically returned to the store home page not to the page they were on.

Is this built into version 4? If so it would make sense to have the clear cart button refresh the page rather than sending the customer to the home page.

Does anyone else have this issue?

I was wondering myself about the redirect to the home page. When hitting "clear cart" it would seem desirable to stay on the page that they entered on as this may be a product in which they have an interest in purchasing, so why take them away from it.

I agree with this post... it shouldn't redirect to homepage.
I just removed the "clear cart" option from the popup. i didn't feel thats an important feature for the customer... they can always see it and remove it once in the cart.
