Shopping Cart Guide

Your shopping cart is unified across all purchases—products, event tickets, and donations can all be purchased together in a single checkout.

Viewing Your Cart

Click the cart icon in the header to see your current items. The icon shows a badge with the number of items in your cart.

Adding Items

Adding Products

From any product page:

  1. Select a variant (if the product has multiple options)
  2. Choose your quantity using the dropdown
  3. Click Add to Cart
  4. You'll see a confirmation message and the cart icon will update

Adding Event Tickets

From any event page:

  1. Browse to the event details
  2. Select ticket types and quantities
  3. Click Add to Cart
  4. Tickets appear in your cart alongside any products

Unified Cart Layout

Your cart is organized into sections:

  • Products: Physical and digital items from the store
  • Event Tickets: Tickets for upcoming events with dates and venues
  • Donations: Any donations you've added

All items are purchased together in a single checkout for convenience.

Adding a Donation

If the organization accepts donations, you'll see an "Add a Donation" section in your cart:

  1. Enter the amount you want to give — it is a free amount, not a fixed list
  2. Optionally choose to cover the processing fees, so the full amount reaches them
  3. Add it to your cart, and it checks out with everything else

Managing Cart Items

Updating Quantities

On the cart page, change the number next to an item. It saves by itself a moment later and the totals recalculate — there is no separate update button.

Removing Items

Click the remove button (X) next to any item to remove it from your cart. The cart will update automatically.

Discount Codes

To apply a discount code:

  1. Look for "Have a discount code?" on the cart page
  2. Enter your code in the field
  3. Click Apply
  4. The discount will appear in your order summary

A store's discount code applies to its products, and an event's code applies to that event's tickets — a store code won't discount tickets, and an event code won't discount merch. You can use one code per order, and a fixed-amount code comes off your order once (split across the items it covers), not off each item. Invalid or expired codes will show an error message, and a code that doesn't apply never removes one you already applied.

Order Summary

The order summary shows:

  • Subtotal: Total before discounts and fees
  • Fees: Card processing and platform fees, when the seller shows them at checkout (never on donations)
  • Discount: Amount saved from discount codes
  • Shipping: Calculated at checkout (physical products only)
  • Tax: Worked out from where each item is delivered or, for tickets, where the event happens
  • Total: Final amount you'll pay

Proceeding to Checkout

When you're ready, click the Checkout button. You'll be taken to secure checkout where you'll enter:

  • Shipping address (for physical products)
  • Payment information
  • Order review and confirmation

Cart Expiration

Cart items are held for 30 minutes during active shopping. If inventory is limited and you don't complete checkout, items may become unavailable. Complete your purchase promptly for in-demand products and popular events.
