Had a couple of thoughts on potential shortcodes.

With Jigoshop (sorry to mention that!) there was an extremely easy way to output the number of items in the cart and the cart total. This was useful as you could create a button, or area that constantly updated. The same code does not appear to work with Woocommerce (even modifying the obvious spots), nor does taking the code from the Wootique theme work outside of that theme. THerefore I think it would be nice to simply create a shortcode users could put anywhere in their theme that output this information.

Product Added to Cart -> View Cart Shortcode
Personally I don't like the ajax checkbox that appears next to the add to cart button once you've added a product, and would prefer the standard message at the top of the page that appears on the single product page. There does not seem to be an easy way to modify this functionality. So it might be nice to have a shortcode option, or something you could specify in settings to toggle which functionality you'd like to use on the main shop page.
