When trying to implement this code:

> import wixStoresBackend from ‘wix-stores-backend’

> export function getCurrentCart() {

> return wixStoresBackend.getCurrentCart();

> }  
> I am getting this error:  
> **Cannot find module ‘wix-stores-backend’ in ‘public/pages/spp7g.js’**

I have no idea why? The website is a Store one and I do not have created this file **wix-stores-backend, but I am assuming I do not need to** [**regarding this doc.**](https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-stores-backend.html#Cart)  
So what is my mistake?

Hey,

I assume you are trying to use this code in your [Code Panel](https://support.wix.com/en/article/corvid-working-in-the-code-panel) and this way you will see errors when previewing your site.

As it’s stated in the API, the wix-stores-backend module contains functionality for working with your site’s store from backend code.

Had same issue with wix-users-backend. Can’t use backend modules in your client-side code.  
I’m not familiar with wixStores… But you use ‘wix-stores’ in front end.  
And if you need functions from wix-stores-backend. Create a .jsw file. Write your function. And import it client side like so:

backend:  
file.jsw

```javascript
import wixStoresBackend from 'wix-stores-backend'

export function someFunction(){
    console.log('NiNiNi')
}

```

client-side:

```javascript
import { someFunction } from 'backend/file'

$w.onReady(()=>{
    someFunction()
})

```
