addToCart

Required event. Handling this event on your Barion shop's screens is required as part of a Barion Full Pixel implementation.

Short description

The event represents the user action of adding an item for sale to their cart in your webshop.

Trigger

A button click that explicitly represents the user's decision to purchase the item. This is mostly implemented by the item being added to the user's cart – if your webshop doesn't use the shopping cart metaphor, trigger this event when the user selects an equivalent button, such as one labeled "Buy" or "Reserv".
