Great point, we had added that as a stop gap measure, because not all users realized they had to scroll down to checkout the cart. From an overall design perspective we kind of need to revamp the entire first part of the flow, so this is great feedback. Thanks!

Upon re-reading my comment, it sounds more critical than I had intended. I really like your site's clean design aesthetic. Great work.

p.s.

Please never come to Arizona. That will remove my last excuse for not going camping (purchasing a bunch of stuff, that I may never use more than once).

Thanks! It's very far from perfect and we know, have some great ideas but man I will say, I never thought UX/UI would be so hard when I got started.

Lol at your PS, if we go there, promise to not tell you =)

Instead of an alert popup use a on screen popup in the upper right corner that shows that something was added and then fades away after a few seconds.
This is exactly what we're thinking! A little thingy that floats up and fades away. Almost like... points in a game. The only thing is we're thinking of doing it over the item, so you know that item has been added. Upper right corner, people's eyes may not see (though the movement will probably catch). Something to test!
I think peripheral vision responds better to movement. (Evolution of our ancestors making the peripheral vision less detailed but quicker acting to be quick acting for possible attacks. I could be mistaken though)
Ooooh... nice, I will definitely look into that
