Send customer to the checkout

Ecwid.Cart.canGotoCheckout()

This method checks whether you can send customers to the first step of the checkout called the shopping cart.

It has one callback argument containing the boolean response. If true, you can send customers to the checkout with the Ecwid.Cart.gotoCheckout() method.

Ecwid.Cart.canGotoCheckout(function(callback){
  console.log(callback);
});

// prints
// true

You can only receive false with this method if the store works through an old storefront and the Ecwid admin > Settings > Legal > Terms & Conditions toggle is enabled.

Ecwid.Cart.gotoCheckout()

This method sends a customer to the first or second checkout step.

This method works differently depending on the Ecwid admin > Settings > Legal > Terms & Conditions toggle and whether the customer has already left an email in the shopping cart:

• No email: the customer is sent to the shopping cart page.

• Email + toggle disabled: the customer is sent to the second checkout page (address details)

• Email + toggle disabled + no shipping: the customer is sent to the payment page.

Code example:

Ecwid.Cart.gotoCheckout(function(){
  console.log("Checkout process started");
});

// prints
// Checkout process started
// Customer is redirected to the checkout
