Shopping cart
Since Tiki5 there has been a basic shopping cart feature in Tiki and, since Tiki7, there are a number of advanced features that can be further configured.
Products or services can be managed in trackers.
They can be displayed in wiki pages using the PluginList, the PluginCustomSearch or the Pretty Tracker method and added to Module Cart through the PluginAddToCart, to have information collected to a checkout page and sent to payment.

Manage Product Inventory
Allows inventory to be set and tracked for products in a tracker. The feature also puts products on hold when they are added to a users' cart and are returned subsequently if not bought.
Bundled Products
Allows one product to "contain" multiple other products. The price of the bundle itself is the price that the user pays. The child products' prices are ignored when a bundle is bought.
Record Orders in Trackers
Allows orders and order items to be saved in trackers and therefore, using the Unified Search Index can be reviewed or used in conjunction using the PluginList, the PluginCustomSearch or with Pretty Trackers to show users what they have bought, etc...
The recording also allocates and keeps track of value inputted to child products of bundles (not the actual price paid since the user pays the price of the bundle, not the child products).
You will need at least two trackers, one to store Orders and Order Items, and two special profiles to be placed on wiki pages.
Profiles needed to record orders
These profiles are to be placed on wiki pages on the system where the cart is. The tracker and field IDs in the profiles are to be updated so that orders and order items information can be recorded in the right fields.

Note that for now, the code expect certain specific Field Names. See Shopping Cart Trackers for more information
