How to Install a Mini-Cart in Custom Yahoo! Store Templates

When building a Yahoo store, you have the option of using the default templates that come with the store editor or use your own custom templates. Regardless of the kind of template you are using, you can use the Yahoo Mini-Cart feature to install a shopping cart onto your store. Make the shopping cart static or float it. By floating your Mini-Cart, it remains visible while your store visitor scrolls through your page.
