Shopping Cart Overview
The Shopping cart overview content element is used to show the shopping cart lines on the Shopping cart page in the Sana webstore.
Each shopping cart line contains information about products a customer added to the shopping cart, like product number and title, product image, price, discount, quantity, unit of measure, etc.
The information about products added to the shopping cart is taken from the ERP system, that’s why the dummy data is used on the Shopping cart system page in Sana Admin. The real data is shown to a customer in the webstore.
The tools within the Shopping cart overview content element allow you to fully customize the look and layout of your shopping cart lines. Using the Shopping cart line editor in the Shopping cart overview content element, you can define how shopping cart lines appear in the webstore, adding various content elements such as product thumbnails, descriptions, or pricing information. This makes each cart line more informative and visually appealing, while also enhancing the overall shopping cart overview to match your brand’s style and create a more engaging experience for customers.
Content Tab
The Paging alignment setting defines the positioning of pagination controls within the shopping cart when more than 10 products are added. The following options are available:
- Left
- Center
- Right
This helps maintain a clean and intuitive cart layout, optimizing user experience by positioning the navigation in a way that fits the overall design of the store.
Advanced Tab
On the Advanced tab of the Shopping cart overview content element, you can configure height, width, and spacing settings.

Shopping Cart Lines Design
The shopping cart lines support two layouts: the old design and the new design.

-
Upgrade: If you are upgrading from an older Sana Commerce Cloud version, you will see a toggle New design that lets you switch between the old shopping cart design and the new one at any time.
Each design can be customized separately. Any changes you make in one will not impact the other, giving you full flexibility to experiment and transition smoothly to the new design.
