Advanced Cart for Magento 2

What you get

Panth Advanced Cart for Magento 2 — Free Shipping Bar, Order Notes, Gift Options & Cart Conversion Suite

Turn your Magento 2 cart page into a conversion engine. Free shipping progress bar, order notes, gift options, trust badges, quantity +/- buttons, savings display, estimated delivery, and a beautifully branded empty cart — all configurable, all theme-aware, and all built to MEQP standards.

Panth Advanced Cart replaces the bland default Magento 2 cart page with a carefully engineered checkout-funnel booster. Every feature is designed around a single goal: reduce cart abandonment and increase average order value. Shoppers see how close they are to free shipping, understand exactly how much they are saving, can leave gift messages and order notes that flow all the way through to the admin order view, and enjoy a polished empty-cart experience that encourages them to keep browsing.

The module auto-detects whether your storefront is running Hyva (Alpine.js + Tailwind CSS) or Luma (vanilla JS) and renders the appropriate templates — no theme conflicts, no duplicate styling, no broken layouts.

Quality & Performance

• MEQP compliant — passes Adobe's Magento Extension Quality Program
• Hyva + Luma support — auto-detects theme via Panth\Core\Helper\Theme
• Zero JavaScript bloat — lightweight vanilla JS for Luma, Alpine.js for Hyva
• Translatable — all strings wrapped in __() for multi-language stores
• Multi-store aware — every setting respects Magento's scope hierarchy

Feature Walkthrough

Where Order Notes Appear

1. Cart page — collapsible section above the summary
2. Checkout sidebar — read-only review of the note
3. Customer order view ("My Orders") — displayed alongside shipping info
4. Admin order view — shown in the order information block
5. Admin order grid — available as a hidden column (toggle in column settings)

How Savings Are Calculated

Savings = sum of (original_price − final_price) × qty for every line item, plus any applied cart discounts. The module uses the existing quote item price attributes, so it respects catalog price rules, tier pricing, and special prices.

Gift Options Flow

When the customer checks Add Gift Message, a textarea appears. The message is saved on the quote, carried through checkout, and stored on the order record. If Gift Wrap is enabled and the customer opts in, the wrap fee is added to the order total as a custom total line.

Troubleshooting

For additional diagnostics, enable Debug Mode in Panth Extensions → Core Settings and review var/log/panth_advancedcart.log.

Theme Compatibility

The module uses Panth\Core\Helper\Theme (from the free Panth_Core module) to detect the active theme and render the appropriate templates:

• Hyva — Alpine.js + Tailwind CSS templates, no jQuery, no Knockout
• Luma — vanilla JavaScript + inline styles, full Knockout/RequireJS integration

Both template sets are fully overridable in your child theme at:

• app/design/frontend/<Vendor>/<theme>/Panth_AdvancedCart/templates/
