Does a custom checkout process require a custom cart?

I have special requirements concerning shipping (that are not available through the standard Wix shipping capabilities), which, as far as I can tell, requires me to set up a fully custom checkout process. So I have two questions:

  1. Is there any way to simply update the cart directly? E.g. use wixStoresBackend . getCurrentCart () then update the shipping parameters as needed then save the updated cart? This could be done at any time, such as when a user adds an item to the cart. I can’t find anything in the documentation for this.

  2. If I can’t update the cart directly but I still need to edit the shipping parameter, do I need to create an entirely new cart or can I somehow intercept the “Checkout” button on the Wix default cart page to send the user to my custom checkout page?

Thank you for any help.

Good question, we have created a custom product and we are failing to see the custom designed product in the cart.

We can add a cutom product with 8 options to cart, but in the cart only a stock image appears. We are lost in the code and page options in our attempts to transfer the 8 x images that make the custom product on our dynamic page and then to get these images to also appear in the cart page, once added.

Therefore we think you might be right. A custom cart page is needed for custom products. How to achieve this is unknown.

Any help would be most welcome please:)
