Directs the browser to navigate to the site visitor's Cart Page.

The `navigateToCartPage()` function returns a Promise that resolves when the browser successfully navigates to the [Cart Page](https://support.wix.com/en/article/customizing-the-cart-page).

import wixEcomFrontend from 'wix-ecom-frontend';
import wixEcomBackend from 'wix-ecom-backend';

CheckoutPageOptions

Directs the browser to navigate to the site visitor's Checkout Page.

The `navigateToCheckoutPage()` function returns a Promise that resolves when the browser successfully navigates to the [Checkout Page](https://support.wix.com/en/article/customizing-the-checkout-page).

> **Note:** The `checkoutId` parameter is **required**. To get a `checkoutId`, use one of the following `wix-ecom-backend` functions:
> + [`createCheckoutFromCurrentCart()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-ecom-backend/current-cart/create-checkout-from-current-cart)
> + [`cart.createCheckout()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-ecom-backend/cart/create-checkout)
> + [`checkout.createCheckout()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-ecom-backend/checkout/create-checkout)

Navigate to the checkout page

navigateToCheckoutPage

The name of the function or the function expression to run when the cart is changed.

handler

onCartChangeHandler

Adds an event handler that runs when the cart changes.

The event handler set by the `onCartChange()` function runs when the cart changes.

The `onCartChange()` event handler is triggered when:
+ The cart is modified by native UI elements such as the 'Add to Cart' button, increase (+) and decrease (-) item quantity buttons, remove line item button (x), etc.
+ The [`refreshCart()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-ecom-frontend/refresh-cart) function is called.



**Important:** Actions performed by Velo functions other than the `refreshCart()` function do not trigger the `onCartChange()` event handler.

import wixEcomFrontend from 'wix-ecom-frontend';
import wixEcomBackend from 'wix-ecom-backend';

$w.onReady(function () {

  // handler function that gets the current cart on cart change
  const handler = () => {
      // The wixEcomBackend.currentCart module is universal.
      // You can call its methods in frontend and backend code.
    wixEcomBackend.currentCart.getCurrentCart()
      .then(cart => {
        let cartId = cart._id;
        console.log('cart ID: ', cartId);
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
        // Handle the error
      });
  };

  wixEcomFrontend.onCartChange(handler);
});

Add an event handler for cart changes

onCartChange

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](https://support.wix.com/en/article/customizing-the-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.

import wixEcomFrontend from 'wix-ecom-frontend';

$w('#myOpenSideCartButton').onClick(() => {
  // on button click - open the side cart
  wixEcomFrontend.openSideCart();
});

Open the Side Cart

openSideCart

Updates cart UI elements, like the [Cart Icon](https://support.wix.com/en/article/customizing-the-cart-icon) and Side Cart with the most recent cart data.

The `refreshCart()` function returns a Promise that resolves when the latest cart data is retrieved, and the cart UI elements are refreshed.

> **Note:** Calling the `refreshCart()` function will trigger the [`onCartChange()`](/wix-ecom-frontend/on-cart-change) event handler.

import wixEcomFrontend from 'wix-ecom-frontend';
import wixEcomBackend from 'wix-ecom-backend';

$w('#myAddAndRefreshCartButton').onClick(() => {

  // example values for the options object
  const options = {
    lineItems: [{
      catalogReference: {
        // Wix Stores appId
        appId: '215238eb-22a5-4c36-9e7b-e7c08025e04e',
        // Wix Stores productId
        catalogItemId: '3fb6a3c8-988b-8755-04bd-5c59ae0b18ea',
      },
      quantity: 1
    }]
  };

  // The wixEcomBackend.currentCart module is universal.
  // You can call its methods in frontend and backend code.
  wixEcomBackend.currentCart.addToCurrentCart(options)
    .then(() => {
      console.log('item added to cart');
      // refresh the cart after adding item
      wixEcomFrontend.refreshCart();
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
      // Handle the error
    });
});

Refresh the cart

refreshCart

Fulfilled - When the cart refresh is complete.

# Introduction
Using the eCommerce frontend API, you can interact with the native cart and checkout components on your site.

 With the eCommerce frontend API, you can:
 + Refresh the cart to display its latest state.
 + Listen to changes in the native cart components.
 + Open the Side Cart panel.
 + Navigate to the [Cart Page](https://support.wix.com/en/article/customizing-the-cart-page).
 + Navigate to the [Checkout Page](https://support.wix.com/en/article/customizing-the-checkout-page).

 To use the eCommerce frontend API, import `wixEcomFrontend` from the `wix-ecom-frontend` module:

   ```javascript
   import wixEcomFrontend from 'wix-ecom-frontend';
   ```

 ## Before you begin

 It's important to note the following points before starting to code:

 + You need to [add eCommerce functionality to your site](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/e-commerce/wix-e-commerce-platform-handbook/get-started/wix-site-creators-velo-developers-add-e-commerce-functionality-to-a-site).

 + Upgrade your site to a premium business plan in order to [accept payments](https://support.wix.com/en/article/accepting-payments-an-overview).

 ## Terminology

 + **Cart**: Holds information about a potential transaction, including details about selected items, prices, and discounts, as well as the potential buyer.
 + **Side Cart**: A preview of the cart page, which opens as a panel on the side of a page.
 + **Cart Page**: A page where a buyer can view and manage the items in their cart.
 + **Checkout Page**: A page where a buyer finalizes a purchase. Each checkout holds information about the items to be purchased, price and tax summaries, shipping and billing information, any applied discounts, and more.
