Portal Shopping Cart

The Portal Shopping Cart feature in Mythradon enables authenticated portal users—such as customers or dealers—to browse, select, and purchase products directly from within your portal environment.

Users can add products to their shopping cart, review quantities and pricing, and proceed to checkout when ready. Payments are securely processed through the integrated Mythradon Payment Gateway, offering a seamless e-commerce experience within your portal.

This functionality allows your organisation to offer online ordering and self-service purchasing directly to portal users, streamlining order management and reducing the need for manual processing.

Setting Up a Portal Shopping Cart

To enable the shopping cart functionality for portal users, a System Administrator must configure the List (Portal) layout for the Product entity.

This setup adds an interactive Order field, allowing portal users to specify the quantity of each product they wish to purchase.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to Administration → Layout Manager from the Menu Button
  2. Select the Products entity
  3. Choose the List (Portal) layout
  4. Drag and drop the Order field into the layout
  5. Click Save to apply the changes

This configuration ensures that the product list view within the portal includes an input field for quantity selection, enabling a smooth and intuitive shopping experience for portal users.

Note

This setup only needs to be performed once. After it's configured, the shopping cart functionality will be available automatically for all eligible portal users.

Using the Portal Shopping Cart

When a Portal User selects and adds products to their cart, those items are added to their active cart. The cart is automatically saved, so users can safely log out and return later to complete their order—items in the cart will remain intact until the purchase is finaliSed or the cart is cleared.

Portal Users can also view a complete history of their past and current carts:

  • Select Carts from the main portal menu
  • A list of all carts, including current and previous orders, will be displayed

Cart Status

Each cart has a status indicator:

  • Draft – The current open cart where items can still be added or modified
  • Submitted – A cart that has been finalised and sent for internal processing
  • Processed – The cart has been reviewed by an internal user and converted into a Sales Invoice
  • Deleted – The cart was canceled or removed and is no longer active

To complete a purchase, the Portal User must:

  1. Open their Draft cart
  2. Click the Submit Cart button
  3. Confirm the order submission when prompted

Once submitted, the cart is locked from further edits and handed off to internal staff for processing.

Processing Shopping Cart Orders

Internal Users can process Shopping Cart Orders that have been Submitted by a Portal User. Once reviewed, the submitted cart can be converted into a formal Sales Invoice for further processing.

  1. Navigate to Carts from the main menu
  2. Select a Submitted cart from the list
  3. Click the Create Invoice button to create a Sales Invoice

Sales Invoice

Clicking Create Invoice button will create a Draft Sales Invoice that will include all the line items from the Cart. Discounts can be applied and the Warehouse can be selected for each line item.
