Cart Settings

Menu Path: Workspace > Settings > Sale Settings > Cart

Permission and Plan Requirements

To use this feature, you must have the Workspace:Settings:View permission and the ECOMMERCE, MARKETPLACE plan.

Cart Settings provide control over the shopping cart behavior, operational limits, and checkout flexibility on your storefront.

Key Features & Configuration​

1. General Cart Behavior​

  • Cart Status (isActive): Toggles the shopping cart feature on or off globally.
  • Guest Checkout (allowGuestCheckout): Allows users to complete purchases without registering an account. Disabling this enforces a login requirement prior to checkout.
  • Order Notes (allowNotes): Enables a text area in the cart for customers to leave special instructions for the merchant.

2. Operational Limits​

  • Inactivity Duration (expirationMinutes): Determines how long items are reserved in the cart before the cart is considered abandoned and cleared (freeing up the stock).
  • Minimum Order Amount (minOrderAmount): Sets a financial threshold that the cart total must reach before the user is allowed to proceed to checkout.
  • Maximum Items Per Cart (maxItemsPerCart): Limits the total number of distinct items a user can have in their cart at any given time.
  • Maximum Quantity Per Item (maxQuantityPerItem): Prevents bulk hoarding by limiting how many units of a single specific item a user can add.

[!TIP] Setting a reasonable Inactivity Duration is crucial for inventory management, especially for high-demand flash sales or limited-stock events, as it prevents stock from being tied up in abandoned carts indefinitely.

Common Issues​

  • Issue: Customers are complaining they cannot checkout.
  • Solution: Verify if the Minimum Order Amount is set too high, or if Guest Checkout is disabled without clear messaging prompting the user to log in.
