Ecommerce and AI Shopping

Shopping cart

Also known as: shopping cart

Selected items, variants, and quantities prepared for purchase.

A practical example

A customer adds one banana-flavored energy bar.

What should I know?

Adding to a cart is not a completed transaction.

Ecommerce and AI Shopping in practice

Prices, variants, and availability must match current offerings. Separate product discovery, cart creation, and purchase confirmation. Integrations need clear delivery, payment, and order handoff rules.
