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 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 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:

Customizing the Success Pop-up

Important:
We're in the process of replacing the Mini Cart with an improved version called the Side Cart. If you still have the Mini Cart, you won't see the option to customize the Success pop-up.
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.
