Cart and Checkout ​

Mini cart ​

The cart icon in the header shows how many items are in the cart and opens the mini cart from the side of the screen. It lists the items with the newest first, their quantity and price, and the subtotal. Product options are folded under See Details to keep the list short, and each item can be removed with the trash icon. Buttons lead to the cart page and straight to checkout.

Cart page ​

• Items are listed newest first, with a clear product image, the options picked, a quantity field with plus and minus buttons, the line price and a remove button. Changing a quantity enables Update Cart.
• Summary shows the subtotal, discounts, shipping, tax and grand total, followed by Proceed to Checkout.
• Apply Discount Code sits in its own box under the summary.
• Express payment buttons, such as PayPal, can be shown under the checkout button.
• Clear Shopping Cart and Check Out with Multiple Addresses appear when they are enabled in Magento.
• Gift options let shoppers add a gift message (To, From, Message) to the whole order and to each item, when gift messages are allowed in Stores > Configuration > Sales > Sales > Gift Options. Per item, a product's own Allow Gift Message setting wins over the store setting. The message is saved right away, without reloading the cart.

Problems such as an item that went out of stock or a missing required option are shown on the item itself, using Magento's own messages.

Checkout ​

The checkout is a single page. The shopper moves through three steps while the order summary stays visible beside them:

1. Shipping Address: customers pick a saved address or add a new one, and guests enter their email and address. The billing address can be the same or different.
2. Shipping Method: the rates from your enabled carriers for that address. With in-store pickup enabled, shoppers can choose a store instead.
3. Payment Method: the payment methods you have enabled, and the button that places the order.

The Order Summary lists the items with their options under See Details, a field for a discount code, and the totals. On phones it folds into a bar that shows the grand total.

Item notices ​

The mini cart and the cart page show Magento's notice under an item when there is one, for example that the quantity is not in stock and will be backordered, or that the requested quantity is not available. These are the same messages the standard Magento cart shows, in the store's language.

Prices with and without tax ​

The mini cart, the cart page and the checkout summary follow Stores › Configuration › Sales › Tax › Shopping Cart Display Settings, as the standard Magento cart does. Item prices, the subtotal and shipping show excluding tax, including tax, or both. With both, an item shows its price including tax with the price excluding tax underneath; the checkout summary keeps one price per item, since its subtotal already shows both. Include Tax In Order Total adds the order total excluding tax above the grand total, Display Full Tax Summary lists each tax rate under the tax line, and Display Zero Tax Subtotal shows the tax line when the tax is zero.

The checkout keeps its own simple header with your logo and a link back to the cart, so shoppers can focus on finishing the order. Its scripts are fingerprinted so the browser blocks any file that was tampered with, which helps with PCI DSS 4.0. See Script protection on the payment page.

Payment methods ​

Purchase Order asks the shopper for a Purchase Order Number before the order can be placed.

Lynx starts with these payment providers, and more are being added with each release.

Express buttons let shoppers pay with a wallet that already knows their address, skipping the steps. See Express payment buttons.

After the order ​

The order confirmation page shows the order number and links to continue shopping or view the order. If a payment fails, the failure page shows the order number, the error and a way back to the cart.

When Page Fallback is on, checkout with multiple addresses opens with the standard Magento theme. See Settings.
