Customizing the Cart Icon

Important:

This article is relevant for Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, and Wix Restaurants Orders (New).

The cart icon appears in your site's header. The number of items added is shown in the cart icon. When your customer is ready to complete the order, they can click the icon to start the checkout process.

Enabling cart checkout (Wix Bookings only)

To allow clients to book multiple services at a time, cart checkout must be enabled. If you also use Wix Stores, this allows clients to book multiple services and purchase products at the same time. When you enable cart checkout, the cart icon, cart page, and side cart are added to your site.

Tip:

You can also enable the ability to book multi-service appointments, (e.g. one appointment that includes 2 services, such as a manicure and a pedicure).

To enable cart checkout:

  1. Go to Booking Settings in your site's dashboard.

  2. Click Cart checkout.

  3. Click the Active toggle to enable it.

  4. Click Save.

Note:

The same cart Icon is used for stores, bookings, and the new restaurant orders.

How can my Wix Stores customers go straight to checkout, bypassing the cart icon and cart page altogether?

If you have the type of store where customers often purchase a single item, you may want to streamline the checkout process by allowing customers to bypass the cart icon, side cart, and cart page.

How can my Wix Bookings customers go straight to checkout, bypassing the cart icon and cart page altogether?

You can disable the cart icon, side cart, and cart page from your site. When you do so, clients filling out your Booking form will only see the 'Book Now' button. They won't have the option to click Add to Cart.
