Notes

  • The cart with added items is not stored in the browser storage. Make sure that you add all items again after the page reloads.
  • If a product with the same SKU is already in the cart, it’ll be removed and replaced with the one added with the addEcommerceItem() method.
  • This method doesn’t send any data to Piwik PRO. It just creates a cart. You can use the trackEcommerceCartUpdate() or trackEcommerceOrder() method to send cart data to Piwik PRO.
