We are developing a new e-commerce site but, due to the unique nature of the business, it will require two separate shopping carts for the two separate product collections. Payments for products will be offline, so it will function more as a simple ordering facility.
We would be happy to use the existing Wix e-commerce app but there does not seem to be any access to the backend cart. Theoretically, can we create our own cart pages? If so, I’d be very grateful if someone could direct me to the relevant API documentation?
Theoretically, you can create your own cart database. When a site visitor adds a product to the cart, save the user ID ( https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-users.User.html#id ) with the item so that you can filter and show only the items belonging to the site visitor.
At the time of checkout you can use the same user ID to process the relevant items in the carts belonging to the user.
You could use your existing Wix Stores App to add items to your custom cart (by dynamically pulling data from the Wix Stores Products database on the click of a button) or you can custom build your own store.
In any scenario, programming this will be not straight-forward and you will require a certain level of expertise to achieve this.
