Configuring the Shopping Cart and Checkout Pages

Like most public pages in Sitefinity, the shopping cart and checkout widgets are handled by adding the respective public widgets to a page.

The Shopping Cart Widget is the main widget used to display the full summary of a user's cart on a dedicated Shopping Cart page. There is also a shopping cart Summary widget, which is used to display a "running total" of the cart, and can be made visible on every page if desired.

The Checkout widget allows a user to select payment and shipping options, and complete the purchase of products from your store.
