Hello there, i need some help…
I’m trying to handle users who add items on cart. So i’m trying to use the event handler onCartCreated() → Docs: ( https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-stores-backend.Events.html#onCartCreated
If i follow the wix-stores-backend Events documentation → Docs :
https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-stores-backend.Events.html
i just need to add an events.js file to the Backend section , so this is my events.js file :
export function wixStores_onCartCreated(event) {
let cart = event;
console.log(cart)
}
So now my question is how use this function ?? I though Wix Store fired this function automatically when user add items on cart, but it’s not working…
Did i missed some logic stuff?
Thanks for the help !

Hi @oduroagency , Did you figure out how to do this?
Thanks,

Hi @adas-bradauskas , where are the moderators for this? This seems to be no answer for any of these questions. Please advise what to do on events.js not working.
Thanks,
Tom
I’ve raised this via support desk, hopefully a response will be coming at some point.
Hey guys!
Since the code is placed in a backend file, console logs that are placed there will not show in the console.
To workaround it you can use the method wixData.insert and create a collection of logs that will assist you in debugging your backend code.
Something like that:
someAsyncFunction(request, args)
.then((response) => {
wixData.insert('logs', { 'data': response, 'request': request, 'args': args })
})
Let me know if it works for you.

can you not add the wixDate.insert inside the event function that’s being called?
For Example:
export function wixStores_onCartCreated(event) {
let total = {"log": event.totals.total,};
let options = {
"suppressAuth": true,
"suppressHooks": true
};
wixData.insert("log", total, options);
}
You can do exactly that to see if the event is being called.
sadly they aren’t being called then, as that’s how I’ve been testing
Can you please share a link to your site?
Rest assure that only authorized personnel can inspect your site & editor.
You need to insert the data as an object.
Pay attention to the syntax of the insert method.
You need to declare the object’s properties in order to create matching columns in your collection.
export function wixStores_onCartCreated(event) {
let total = {"log": event.totals.total,};
let options = {
"suppressAuth": true,
"suppressHooks": true
};
wixData.insert("log", { "total": total, "options": options });
}
Let me know if it works for you.

I don’t see how that works,
I have a database called “log” within that I have a field called “log” and I’m inserting a new row which is the total.
The options are options for the wixData api ( https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-data.html#WixDataOptions ), this shouldn’t be passed into the table.
I’ve now stripped it back to the following (updating naming to aid readability) :
export function wixStores_onCartCreated(event) {
let toInsert = {"log" : "bar"};
wixData.insert("foo", toInsert);
}
so to clarify - I’m inserting a new row in the to the collection “foo” under the field called “log” putting a text string called “bar”. This should be called everytime a user adds an item to their shopping cart.
This still doesn’t work.
Hi @jbotterill ,
We will investigate the issue and keep this thread updated for any findings.
Stay tuned.
Doron.
@doronalkalay any update on this issue?
Hi @oduroagency @jbotterill
Can you please write the site url where the issue occurs?
Regards,
Genry.
Can you please change the following import:
import wixStores from 'wix-stores';
to:
import wixStores from 'wix-stores-backend';
Thanks,
Genry.
This seems to have resolved the issue.
Glad to hear 
Btw, @jbotterill you can see console.log(…) via the site monitoring: https://support.wix.com/en/article/corvid-viewing-live-site-events
