PayPal Mini Cart 2.0
After a long delay, I’ve finished changes and received approval for the next version of my pet project, the PayPal Mini Cart. I’m happy to say that it’s now live!
The 2.0 version comes with significant modifications to the code which allow for increased extensibility and support. You can read the full list of changes over on the official website, but a few of the major features in this release are:
- Support for localization and modification of the content
- Adaptation support for multiple currencies
- An exposed API for controlling the cart externally
- Added support for custom callback events during all important lifecycle events
These coupled with the rest of the changes, should set the foundation for a customizable JavaScript-based inline cart experience for PayPal.
One thing I discovered after releasing the initial version was that there were many talented people out there with great ideas for the cart. Perhaps the largest change in 2.0 is that the code itself has now been open sourced and is available on Github. If you have a change that you’d like to see then I encourage you to consider contributing. There’s instructions available on how to fork the project at the website.
