web module must appear on the same page with the Order Create and Order
Payment web modules in order to use the one-click checkout feature.The Product Details web module completes the product catalog work-flow and enhances the user experience. This web module's primary objective is to display a product's information. This web module is a template-driven component, which enables you to define the user experience based on the product type as well as other attributes.
The Product Detail web part displays the information related to a product. This web part displays cross-sell and up-sell information, packages, electronic content (ECD), and any type of product components. This web part can also be used as a stand-alone product detail as it accepts the product ID via a URL parameter. This is especially useful for email campaigns requiring a link to products. It is also used in conjunction with the one-click checkout process.

After setting up the Product Detail module, it may appear, as below,
to your customer. This example displays an inventoried product.
If
users are restricted to a maximum number of tickets to a session (as determined
by the meeting setup done in the back office), the limit appears on the
left side of the screen under the associated amount entry field for each
session.
The system does not allow users to add more than the specified amount for
each session to their cart.
After customers purchase a meeting, they can review the details of the meeting from the Product Detail page, including the session(s) purchased with it, by clicking the product link from their Shopping Cart, clicking the (+) icon next to the meeting from their Account page, or by clicking on the meeting product link from the Product Listing page.
From here, they have the option of either adding sessions to their meeting product or purchasing a separate new meeting registration (for example, for a guest).
Customers
are not able to modify the number of tickets associated with a meeting
purchase after submitting the order through the Checkout page.
As the administrator, you can edit the ProductDetailTemplate.xsl to configure the text that appears on the screen informing customers of the option to either update the previously purchased meeting or purchase and register for the same meeting again.
