openSideCart( )

Opens the Side Cart panel.

The openSideCart() function opens the Side Cart panel on the current page.

Notes:

  • We are gradually replacing the existing Mini Cart with the new Side Cart panel.
  • This function will fail when viewing the site on mobile because there is no Mini Cart on the mobile site.
  • The new Side Cart works on mobile sites. When Side Cart functionality becomes available for your site, openSideCart() will work on mobile.
