Building an E-Commerce Store – Adding a Checkout

Over the last couple of chapters, we have been creating an e-commerce store. So far, we have created a product page that allows us to view the images and product variations, which may be size or style. We have also created a category page with filters and pagination—including a homepage category page that features specific, selected products.

Our users can browse and filter products and view more information about a specific product. We are now going to:

  • Build the functionality to allow the user to add and remove products to their basket
  • Allow a user to Checkout
  • Add an Order Confirmation page

As a reminder—we won't be taking any billing details but we will make an Order Confirmation screen.
