Cart model

The Cart model represents a customer's shopping cart.

Retrieve a Cart

You can use the following method to retrieve a new or existing cart for the current customer:

$cart = Cart::byUser(Auth::getUser());

Enforce shipping price

In case you want to dynamically force a shipping price for a Cart for a certain shipping method, you can use the following method:

// Shipping method 1 will always cost 400 €
$cart->forceShippingPrice(1, ['EUR' => 400], 'Optional, alternative name');

WARNING

Make sure to specify all Currencies you have installed in your shop. Unspecified currencies will not be automatically calculated and result in a shipping price of 0!

This allows you to programmatically set a dynamic shipping price that overrides the default information for the selected shipping method.

This feature comes in handy if you need to set a price depending on any given value (like shipping distance where each km means additional shipping cost).

To forget a forced shipping price simply use the following method:

$cart->forgetForcedShippingPrice();
