The AG cart accumulates items as you configure prints. It persists across sessions, supports multiple items, and feeds into checkout.
Cart structure
Each cart item is a fully-configured print order:
- Image (from your library or uploaded).
- Print size.
- Paper.
- Borders.
- Mounting (if any).
- Framing (if any) — frame type, moulding, glass, hanging.
- Quantity.
Your cart can have multiple items with different configurations — different artworks, sizes, or framing combinations.
Persistence
- The cart is saved server-side per user (anonymous or logged-in).
- Coming back later in the same browser → cart is still there.
- Logging in with the same email on another device → cart syncs.
- Anonymous → logged-in conversion → cart carries over.
Adding to cart
- Go through the order journey (select images → Order Prints → configure).
- Click Add to Cart on the summary card.
- The item is added; the Checkout button in the library header shows the new count.
Editing cart items
The cart appears as the "Your order" column on the Checkout page. On each line:
- Edit — click the Edit (pencil) button to open the inline editor, then use the +/− controls to change units and click Save.
- Remove — in that same editor, lower the units to 0 (or click Remove) to take the item out of the cart.
To change a print's actual configuration (paper, size, framing), reorder it through the journey from your library.
Cart vs order
- Cart — items being assembled before checkout. Prices are dynamic.
- Order — finalised after checkout. Once paid, the order is locked and goes into production.
A cart can have items in flight indefinitely (until you check out or remove them). An order, once placed, is committed.
What if I close the browser
The cart persists. Come back next week; your cart is still waiting. If you've enabled the Print Credit feature and have credit on your account, the credit is applied at checkout regardless of when you assemble the cart.
Quote freshness
Cart prices are based on the live pricing API. If theprintspace's cost changes between when you added an item and when you check out, the checkout quote reflects current prices — usually a small drift, sometimes more if base costs change. Always sanity-check the final checkout total before paying.
Your cart survives reloads
A guest (not-signed-in) cart now persists across page reloads and the checkout Back button within your browser session — you won't lose your items by navigating away mid-checkout.
