Settings
Enable the Enhanced Cart with the edit capabilities globally to add the checkbox option to the PDP admin page.
NOTE: This setting does not add the Edit Cart options to the product PDPs. It simply adds the Edit Cart checkbox to the Product Detail page so that you may turn it on there. Even if enabled globally, the default setting for each product will be ‘False’. Showing the Edit Cart links is not automatic and box must be selected on a per product basis. See below for configuring it at the product level.
To enable the enhanced cart globally:
Go to Configuration > Settings > All Settings (advanced)
Search for the shoppingcartsettings.showenhancedminicart setting.
Click Edit and change the Value to 'True'.
Language Strings
The Enhanced Cart comes with the option to customize the guest experience with several language strings. To edit language strings:
Go to Configuration > Languages and click Edit next to English.
Enter the name of the language string you wish to edit in the Resource Name box and click Search.
Click Edit next to the Resource Name to change the text that will appear.
Click Update to save the change.
The available language strings are:
Description | String Resource | Default Value | Placement |
|---|---|---|---|
Located in the mini cart beneath any product that has enhanced cart enabled | shoppingcart.editoptions | Edit Options |
|
Located on the PDP in the place of “Add to Cart” when cart is being edited | shoppingcart.editcart | Update Cart |
|
Located on the PDP on mobile in the place of “Add to Cart” when cart is being edited. | shoppingcart.editcartmobile | Update NOTE: This language string is restricted to 6 or 7 characters. If more than 6 or 7 are added, it may display incorrectly. |

Detailed Setup Guide
1. Add the Edit Cart Feature to Individual Products
Once enabled globally (see above), this function can now be added to individual products.
To enable this functionality at the product level:
Go to Catalog > Products and search for the product to which you’d like to add the Enhanced Cart functionality.
Select that product and click Edit.
On the Edit product details page, scroll down to the Additional Product Settings section.
Check Is Enhanced Cart Enabled?
Click SAVE ALL SETTINGS. (Note that clicking Save or Save and Continue at the top of the page will not save your changes.)
IMPORTANT: There are a few products that may not work as expected, or have not yet been thoroughly tested with the Enhanced Cart with Edit. Please keep these in mind when assigning Edit Cart to individual products.
Fast Flow
Because Fast Flow products do not use assignment in the same way that conventional products do, assignment cannot be retained when returning to page via the “Edit Options” mode. If enabled, the “Edit Options” link will load the Fast Flow page but will not load the assigned user or date.
Multiday non-consecutive date-based products with date picker
Aspenware does not recommend using the Enhanced Cart with Edit with these products as the edit mode is unable to reselect multiple dates.
Vouchers
Cases in which a voucher code is used to access a product are not yet supported. However, multi-use product discount vouchers will work with Edit Cart mode.
Quantity
Currently, if a guest selects the “add to cart” button multiple times on a PDP with a particular product-attribute combination, the quantity in the mini cart will increase within the parentheses. However, if “Edit Options” is selected in the mini cart, updating the PDP will return the quantity to 1. To avoid this issue, we recommend using the quantity attribute.
