Service Portal: Add to cart is a PITA- # Service Portal: Add to cart is a PITA

  Enable AI AnimationSo it seems the first thing a lot of places have to do when setting up
the service portal is to re-setup two-step-checkout.

I don’t like looking it up. Here’s the steps I’ve followed to set it up;

## [Adding “Add Cart” on the form](#adding-add-cart-on-the-form)

On your catalog item widget, ctrl + right click the widget and open
the widget instance options.
- Check “Show Add Cart Button”

## [Adding “Cart” on the header](#adding-cart-on-the-header)

- From the Service Portal configuration page, select the Portal editor.
- Goto the SP Header Menu
- in the *Additional options* section ensure you have the following content;

`{
  "enable_cart": {
    "displayValue": "true",
    "value": "true"
  }
}`[Docs](https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/istanbul-servicenow-platform/page/build/service-portal/concept/enable-shopping-cart.html)
