# Adding items to the shopping cart

The most straightforward implementation of a shopping cart involves the following steps:

1. Create a "Product" page that showcases a product and has an "Add to cart" button
2. Create a workflow on the "Add to cart" button that:
   * Creates a new "Cart Item"
   * Adds this "Cart Item" to the current user's shopping cart
     * I recommend putting on a conditional statement so that the workflow only runs when the current user is logged in

You can see an example of this in action in [my demo app](https://shopping-cart-demo-67649.bubbleapps.io/version-test/product/1688737812511x697129325935356800?debug_mode=true).

You'll then need to create a "Checkout" page where the current user's cart items are listed. ([demo app example](https://shopping-cart-demo-67649.bubbleapps.io/version-test/checkout?debug_mode=true)).

In the above example I'm using a Repeating Group with the Type of contet set to "Cart Item" and the Data source to "Current User's shopping cart" (which is itself a list of cart items).
