# Shopping Cart Plugin
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/mastercard-gateway/documentation/integrations-types/shopping-cart-plugin/index.md

A shopping cart is an online store that allows customers to select, review, and purchase products. The customers can browse and add products that they want to purchase in a virtual cart or basket. The shopping cart manages pricing, taxes, shipping, and checkout processes. Electronic commerce (e-commerce) platforms such as WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, and OpenCart offer comprehensive functionality to quickly set up and manage online stores.

## How it works {#how-it-works}

This is the shopping cart plugin workflow of the shopping cart plugin:

### 1. Plugin installation {#1-plugin-installation}

### 2. Mastercard Gateway configuration {#2-mastercard-gateway-configuration}

In the plugin settings, you can enter your Mastercard Gateway credentials, such as:

* Merchant ID
* API Password
* Mastercard Gateway hostname
* Other required configuration details

### 3. Enhanced Checkout Experience {#3-enhanced-checkout-experience}

The plugin integrates Mastercard Gateway payment options directly into the checkout flow, such as:

* Card payments
* xPays, for example, Apple Pay and Google Pay
* Tokenized payments

### 4. Secure transaction processing {#4-secure-transaction-processing}

All transactions are securely processed through Mastercard Gateway, with support for:

* EMV 3-D Secure (EMV 3-D Secure) based on plugin configuration

### 5. Order Management {#5-order-management}

You can manage Capture, Refund, and Void transactions directly from your store dashboard on the shopping cart backend.
