Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to each key setting, where to find it, and how it impacts the shopping experience.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Set up \u201cMy Cart\u201d link<\/h3>\n<p>The \u201cMy Cart\u201d link appears in the top-right corner of your store\u2019s header and serves as a constant reminder for customers to complete their purchase. It shows how many items are currently in the cart and helps users navigate quickly to the checkout process.<\/p>\n<p>To configure how this link behaves, go to <strong>Stores (1) &gt; Configuration &gt; Sales (2) &gt; Checkout &gt; My Cart Link (3):<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86892\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86892\" style=\"width: 1381px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86892\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-my-cart-link.webp\" alt=\"Magento My Cart Link settings\" width=\"1381\" height=\"822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-my-cart-link.webp 1381w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-my-cart-link-300x179.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-my-cart-link-1024x610.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-my-cart-link-768x457.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1381px) 100vw, 1381px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86892\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento My Cart Link settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As shown in the image above, you can control how the cart summary appears in the header \u2013 either by displaying total item quantities or just the number of distinct products. If you want to change this behavior, simply uncheck the Use system value box to unlock the dropdown.<\/p>\n<p>In the Display Cart Summary setting, you\u2019ll find two options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Display item quantities:<\/strong> This shows the total quantity of all products in the cart. It\u2019s ideal for stores where customers buy multiple units of the same item, such as wholesale or bulk-purchase stores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86911\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86911\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86911\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-shopping-cart-display-item-quantities.webp\" alt=\"Magento display item quantities on shopping cart\" width=\"1000\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-shopping-cart-display-item-quantities.webp 1000w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-shopping-cart-display-item-quantities-300x191.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-shopping-cart-display-item-quantities-768x488.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86911\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento display item quantities on shopping cart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Display number of items in car:<\/strong> This displays only the number of distinct products, regardless of quantity.

For example, if you offer quantity-based discounts, showing item quantities can help encourage larger purchases.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Customize the mini cart<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The mini cart is a quick-access dropdown that appears when customers click the cart icon, usually at the top right of your store.<\/strong> It\u2019s visible across all catalog pages and gives shoppers a fast way to review their selected items, adjust quantities, or remove products without leaving the current page.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86910\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86910\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86910\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-mini-cart-storefront.webp\" alt=\"Magento minicart storefront\" width=\"1000\" height=\"828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-mini-cart-storefront.webp 1000w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-mini-cart-storefront-300x248.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-mini-cart-storefront-768x636.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86910\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento minicart storefront<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To customize the mini cart, go to <strong>Stores (1) &gt; Configuration &gt; Sales (2) &gt; Checkout (3) &gt; Mini Cart (4)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86891\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86891\" style=\"width: 1119px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86891\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-mini-cart.webp\" alt=\"Magento mini cart settings\" width=\"1119\" height=\"822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-mini-cart.webp 1119w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-mini-cart-300x220.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-mini-cart-1024x752.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-mini-cart-768x564.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1119px) 100vw, 1119px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento mini cart settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here, you\u2019ll find three key settings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Display Mini Cart:<\/strong> Set this to Yes to enable the mini cart on your storefront. It will appear as a slide-out panel showing the current cart contents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Number of Items to Display Scrollbar:<\/strong> Defines how many items a customer can add before the mini cart activates a scroll bar. This keeps the layout tidy when carts get larger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum Number of Recently Added Items to Display:<\/strong> Controls how many of the most recently added products are shown in the mini cart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"table3\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Note:<\/strong><\/span> For logged-in users, the mini cart may not always sync across devices or browsers. In that case, customers can view their complete cart by navigating to the full shopping cart page.<\/div>\n<p>Don't forget to click <strong>&#8220;Save Config&#8221;<\/strong> once your changes are complete.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Configure redirects to cart<\/h3>\n<p>By default, <strong>Magento doesn't redirect customers to the full shopping cart page after they add a product.<\/strong> Since all cart details are already visible in the mini cart, forcing a redirect can interrupt the browsing flow and feel pushy.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Magento lets you control whether to keep shoppers on the same page or send them to the cart after adding a product. To manage this setting, you can go to <strong>Stores (1) &gt; Configuration &gt; Sales (2) &gt; Checkout (3) &gt; Shopping Cart (4).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After that, find the <strong>\u201cAfter Adding a Product Redirect to Shopping Cart\u201d<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86895\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86895\" style=\"width: 1331px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86895\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-redirect-shopping-cart.webp\" alt=\"Magento redirect shopping cart\" width=\"1331\" height=\"821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-redirect-shopping-cart.webp 1331w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-redirect-shopping-cart-300x185.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-redirect-shopping-cart-1024x632.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-redirect-shopping-cart-768x474.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1331px) 100vw, 1331px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento redirect shopping cart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You need to decide between:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set to <strong>Yes <\/strong>if you want to redirect customers right after they add a product.<\/li>\n<li>Set to <strong>No <\/strong>to let them stay on the same page and view the updated cart via the mini cart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Adjust the quote lifetime<\/h3>\n<p>Not every customer checks out right away. Some take time to compare options, get distracted, or simply return later to complete their purchase. But in the meantime, your product prices might change, and that\u2019s where quote lifetime comes in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Magento gives you control over how long a cart\u2019s pricing and product information should remain valid.<\/strong> This setting is called <strong>Quote Lifetime<\/strong>, and it defines the number of days a customer\u2019s cart stays active before it expires.<\/p>\n<p>To configure this, you also go to the same <strong>Shopping Cart<\/strong> page as of the previous step. Then, specify any number of days into the field:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86898\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86898\" style=\"width: 1315px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86898\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-quote-lifetime.webp\" alt=\"Magento quote lifetime settings\" width=\"1315\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-quote-lifetime.webp 1315w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-quote-lifetime-300x187.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-quote-lifetime-1024x639.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-quote-lifetime-768x479.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1315px) 100vw, 1315px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86898\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento quote lifetime settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>5. Define the minimum order quantity<\/h3>\n<p>In some cases, you may want customers to buy a minimum number of items before checking out. This can help meet supplier requirements, increase order value, or limit small purchases for wholesale buyers.<\/p>\n<p>To set this up for your Magento shopping cart, go to <strong>Stores (1) &gt; Catalog (2) &gt; Inventory (3) &gt; Product Stock Options (4)<\/strong> in the admin panel. Here, you'll find the <strong>Minimum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart <\/strong>setting.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86896\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86896\" style=\"width: 1107px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86896\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-quantity.webp\" alt=\"Magento minimum quantity allowed settings\" width=\"1107\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-quantity.webp 1107w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-quantity-300x223.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-quantity-1024x762.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-quantity-768x572.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1107px) 100vw, 1107px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86896\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento minimum quantity allowed settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In this setting, you can <strong>define different minimum quantities for each customer group.<\/strong> For example, guest users (Not Logged In) might be required to buy at least 2 units of a product, while wholesale customers may have a higher threshold, such as 25 units. These rules apply to individual products, not the entire cart.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86909\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86909\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86909\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-order-quantity-storefront.webp\" alt=\"Magento minimum order quantity on the storefront\" width=\"1000\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-order-quantity-storefront.webp 1000w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-order-quantity-storefront-300x179.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-order-quantity-storefront-768x457.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86909\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento minimum order quantity on the storefront<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once configured, the cart will prevent users from checking out unless their selected quantity meets the requirement. Just be sure to use this feature thoughtfully since overly strict rules can create friction for casual shoppers.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Specify the minimum order amount<\/h3>\n<p>Magento allows you to <strong>set a minimum order subtotal that customers must reach before they can proceed to checkout.<\/strong> This feature is often used to ensure profitability on low-margin items or to discourage small orders that may not be worth fulfilling.<\/p>\n<p>The setting can be found under <strong>Stores &gt; Configuration &gt; Sales &gt; Sales &gt; Minimum Order Amount.<\/strong> You can define a fixed minimum subtotal and customize the error message that appears if the requirement isn\u2019t met.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86907\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86907\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86907\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-order-amount.webp\" alt=\"Magento minimum order amount settings\" width=\"1000\" height=\"776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-order-amount.webp 1000w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-order-amount-300x233.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-minimum-order-amount-768x596.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86907\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento minimum order amount settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick overview of the key fields:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Enable:<\/strong> Turns the feature on or off.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amount:<\/strong> Set the minimum order subtotal required (after discount, if applicable).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Include Discount Amount:<\/strong> Choose Yes if the discount should be counted in the subtotal calculation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Include Tax to Amount:<\/strong> Choose Yes to calculate the minimum based on the total, including tax.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Description Message:<\/strong> Custom message shown in the cart when the subtotal doesn\u2019t meet the requirement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Error to Show in Shopping Cart:<\/strong> The error displayed if customers try to check out below the minimum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Validate Each Address Separately in Multi-address Checkout:<\/strong> Applies the minimum to each shipping address individually.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multi-address Description Message:<\/strong> Optional message shown for multi-address orders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multi-address Error to Show in Shopping Cart:<\/strong> Error shown when the multi-address subtotal doesn't meet the minimum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>7. Manage product thumbnails<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Thumbnails in the shopping cart help customers quickly recognize which products they\u2019ve added, especially when the cart contains multiple items.<\/strong> By default, Magento uses product images to display these thumbnails, but this behavior can vary for configurable or grouped products.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86906\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86906\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86906\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-product-thumbnails-checkout.webp\" alt=\"Display product thumbnails checkout\" width=\"1000\" height=\"813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-product-thumbnails-checkout.webp 1000w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-product-thumbnails-checkout-300x244.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-product-thumbnails-checkout-768x624.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86906\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Display product thumbnails on the storefront<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In <strong>Stores (1) &gt; Configuration &gt; Sales (2) &gt; Checkout (3) &gt; Shopping Cart (4)<\/strong>, you can choose how product images appear in the cart for configurable and grouped products:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86893\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86893\" style=\"width: 1324px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86893\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-product-thumbnails.webp\" alt=\"Magento product thumbnails\" width=\"1324\" height=\"817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-product-thumbnails.webp 1324w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-product-thumbnails-300x185.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-product-thumbnails-1024x632.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-product-thumbnails-768x474.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1324px) 100vw, 1324px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86893\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento product thumbnails<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Product Thumbnail Itself:<\/strong> Displays the image of the exact variation the customer selected (e.g., red shirt, size M).

Enable gift options<\/h3>\n<p>The shopping cart is often the final place for customers to personalize their order before heading to checkout. Magento supports gift messages by default, allowing customers to leave notes for individual items or the entire order.<\/p>\n<p>To enable this feature, go to <strong>Stores (1) &gt; Configuration &gt; Sales (2) &gt; Sales (3) &gt; Gift Options (4). <\/strong>There, you\u2019ll find two settings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Allow Gift Messages on Order Level:<\/strong> Enables customers to leave one message for the entire order.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allow Gift Messages for Order Items:<\/strong> Lets customers include a different message for each item in their cart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86900\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86900\" style=\"width: 1439px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86900\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-gift-options.webp\" alt=\"Magento gift options settings\" width=\"1439\" height=\"819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-gift-options.webp 1439w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-gift-options-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-gift-options-1024x583.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-gift-options-768x437.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, 1439px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86900\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento gift options settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once enabled, gift message fields will appear during checkout, allowing customers to personalize their purchase before completing it.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Set up tax calculation rules<\/h3>\n<p>No one likes surprise costs at checkout. When taxes aren\u2019t visible early on, it can cause confusion or hesitation. Magento\u2019s cart settings give you the flexibility to show tax details exactly how your customers expect.<\/p>\n<p>To access this section, simply navigate to <strong>Stores (1) &gt; Configuration &gt; Sales &gt; Tax (2) &gt; Shopping Cart Display Settings (3).<\/strong> Here\u2019s what you can control:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86897\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86897\" style=\"width: 1502px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86897\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-tax-settings.webp\" alt=\"Magento tax settings\" width=\"1502\" height=\"686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-tax-settings.webp 1502w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-tax-settings-300x137.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-tax-settings-1024x468.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-tax-settings-768x351.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1502px) 100vw, 1502px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86897\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Magento tax settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Display Prices:<\/strong> Choose whether product prices appear including or excluding tax.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Display Subtotal:<\/strong> Decide how the cart subtotal is calculated and displayed (with or without tax).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Display Shipping Amount:<\/strong> Control whether shipping fees are shown with tax included.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additionally Show Order Total Without Tax:<\/strong> Enable this if you want to display both the taxed and untaxed total side by side.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Display Full Tax Summary:<\/strong> Breaks down the tax components for full transparency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Display Zero Tax Subtotal:<\/strong> Lets you show a subtotal line even when no tax is applied (e.g. for tax-exempt orders).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By configuring these settings based on your region\u2019s tax regulations and customer expectations, you can reduce confusion and make the checkout process much more transparent.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Activate wish list<\/h3>\n<p>Not every visitor is ready to buy on the spot. A wish list gives them a way to save products they\u2019re interested in and return later to complete the purchase. To enable and customize this feature on your Magento shopping cart, go to <strong>Stores &gt; Configuration &gt; Customers &gt; Wish List.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under the <strong>General Options<\/strong>, set <strong>Enable <\/strong>to Yes to activate the wish list across your store.

Magento stores this information using a <strong>persistent cookie<\/strong>, which can last up to one year.<\/p>\n<p>This means that, with this feature enabled, you can improve the shopping experience. It's especially helpful for returning shoppers or those who browse across multiple devices, and it can significantly reduce cart abandonment.<\/p>\n<p>To enable it, log in to your Magento 2 Admin Panel and go to <strong>Stores &gt; Configuration &gt; Customers (1) &gt; Persistent Shopping Cart (2).<\/strong> Now configure the following settings:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86894\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86894\" style=\"width: 1378px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86894\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-persistent-shopping-cart.webp\" alt=\"Persistent cart Magento 2 settings\" width=\"1378\" height=\"816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-persistent-shopping-cart.webp 1378w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-persistent-shopping-cart-300x178.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-persistent-shopping-cart-1024x606.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-persistent-shopping-cart-768x455.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1378px) 100vw, 1378px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86894\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Persistent cart Magento 2 settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Enable Persistence:<\/strong> Set this to Yes to activate the feature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Persistence Lifetime (seconds):<\/strong> Define how long the cookie should last.
