Where is the data related to the items in the cart stored? And how to access it on the frontend?

Hi,
You can get the current site visitor’s cart data using wix-stores-backend API .

I wasn’t clear on my question. I wanted to know how to access it on the frontend. Is that possible?

As Aleks has already stated, if you are still looking for a solution for this then you can simply use getCurrentCart from Wix Stores Backend.

Or you can look at using an event when something happens in your store.

@givemeawhisky , when an event is detected on the backend, how could that be communicated back to the frontend?

@fabiomolinar It can’t. You need to query the backend from the frontend
