Re-adding the cart icon
When you add Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, or the new Wix Restaurants Orders to your site, the cart icon is automatically added. You can always re-add the cart icon if it was previously deleted.
Note:
The same cart Icon is used for stores, bookings, and the new restaurant orders.

Customizing the cart icon behavior
Important:
We're in the process of replacing the mini cart with an improved version called the side cart. If you don't already have the side cart, publish your site to get it.
Decide what happens when customers click the cart icon. The Side Cart can open on the side or customers can be directed to the cart page.
To set what happens when the cart icon is clicked:
- Click the Cart Icon in your editor.
- Click Settings.
- Click the Settings tab
- Select what happens when customers click the cart icon.
Customizing the success pop-up
Important:
We're in the process of replacing the mini cart with an improved version called the side cart that has the success pop-up. If you don't already have the side cart, publish your site to get it.
The success pop-up is a small pop-up indication that appears on the side. It displays a product that your customer has just added.
