The shopping cart (Cart) is a complex content record comprised of several content items. These content items work together to form a customizable shopping cart for your users. The following is a list of content items available for use when configuring the shopping cart:

• Cart Charges Display
• Cart Details Display
• Contact Sign In
• Continue Shopping Button Link
• Open Credit Display
• Payment Creator
• Promotion Manager (optional)
• Shipping Method Selector
• Submit Order Button Link

Note: The following configuration reflects the default Cart settings and arrangement. If you want to reconfigure your existing cart, log in as a user with administrative privileges and enable Easy Edit. Modify your Cart content record as desired. This can be performed from any site.

Creating a custom Cart content record

Create a custom shopping cart content record:

1. Go to RiSE > Page Builder > Manager content.
2. Select the folder to which you will add your new content record.
3. Select New > Website Content.
4. Give the new content a Title and Publish file name. The Publish file name determines the name of the web page and defaults to match the Title if another name is not provided.
5. For Layout, select OneOverTwo50-50OverOne.
   
6. Click Add content in the appropriate content area depending on your selected content layout.
7. Select the desired content item from the Content Gallery.

Note: Most of the shopping cart-related content items are available in the Commerce gallery.

Note: The title field of a content item configuration page populates a title visible on your web page. Only give a title to those content items you want to call out.

8. Connect relevant content items. Connections enable content items to interact with one another, significantly reducing the need for additional maintenance for site administrators. The Cart Changes Display content item needs to know the shipping address (determined by the Shipping Method Selector content item) in order to calculate shipping and tax fees.

Note: You only need to add connections where the content item's instructions indicate they are needed. Not all content items support this.

Connect the Cart Changes Display and Shipping Method Selector content items:

1. Click Connect on the Cart Charges Display content item. A Connect window is displayed.
2. Click Create a new connection.
3. Select the Shipping Method Selector in the Object Consumer drop-down.
4. Click Connect.
5. Click the red X to close the Connect window.
9. Select the Properties tab, and select the Content is Secure (https://) checkbox.
10. Click Save & Publish to finalize your Cart content record.
11. Go to Site Builder > Manage sitemaps:
    1. Select a website from the drop-down.
    2. Select New > Website Navigation Item.
    3. Enter a folder name and link text for the new navigation item.
    4. Select the Content or URL to Link to. The Document Browser is displayed.
    5. Click Save.
12. Publish the new website navigation item.
