What does the phrase "It's so that,,," mean?
I came across the sentences below, but don't really understand what the last sentence means.
Could you spell it out for me and show me how to use the phrase "It's (not) so that,,," in a sentence, please?
Thank you.
"....once you activate your senses, you're more likely to buy pretty much anything. So when you go to one of the warehouse stores and they start giving you samples.
It's not so that you're going to buy the cheese or whatever it is that you're tasting, it's so that you'll buy the tent."

They are explaining the reason why they start giving you samples - this idea is the "it" in "it's so that...".
You could say it this way instead :
"They do this in order that you'll buy the tent."

so that and so + adj/adv + that are different.
so that means in order to/in order that...
