The Cart Icon appears in your site's header. When a customer wants to make a purchase, the number of items is shown in the Cart Icon. When they're ready to complete the order, the customer 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 services and purchase products at the same time. When you enable cart checkout, the Cart Icon, Cart Page, and Mini 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.

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 re-add the Cart Icon if it was deleted.
Note:
  • The same Cart Icon is used for stores, bookings, and the new restaurant orders.
  • You can re-add the Cart Icon through Wix Stores or Wix Bookings, but not directly though Wix Restaurant Orders. The instructions below show how to add it through Wix Stores, but they work for all 3 business solutions.

Alternatively, you can set up the cart so that when it is clicked, the Mini Cart open on the side. From there, customers can view items and then either keep on browsing or click View Cart to go to the Cart Page.
