Snipcart is a shopping cart developers can easily integrate into any website in minutes. This new version (v3.0) pushes cart & checkout customization much further.
Hey PH, I’m Francois from Snipcart! 👋
Our product lets you add e-commerce to any site in minutes. It’s HTML/JS-based and works with tools you love: SSG, headless/traditional CMS, JS frameworks, SPA, etc.
In this version, we focused on our client-facing JS shopping cart :
- It doesn’t depend on any third-party libraries in the global scope (bye jQuery). We used modern tools like Vue.js, but worked hard so you don’t have to deal with them while integrating.
- This new design is sober, built to fit most websites with little changes. We followed best UX practices for a conversion-centric checkout flow. Also used a mobile-first approach.
- We made it easier to inject your aesthetics through the checkout. From colors and animations to adding or deleting fields, you can do lots of stuff. We now have an HTML-like syntax making it easy to play with cart components.
- You can easily override templates for a full-page cart, a small, centered modal, or a slide-in, right-sided one, etc.
Snipcart still offers a hosted dashboard for store management: discounts, abandoned carts, payment gateways, shipping, invoicing, multi-currency, taxes, & more.
We have an SDK coming up, and a couple features to reach v2.0 parity, but this version is 100% ready to hit production. 🚀
Feel free to check out our new documentation! Snipcart is forever free in Test mode. https://docs.snipcart.com/v3/

Happy to answer questions! 🙇♂️

@the_fln Hi Francois: Congrats ! .....
Do you already have the snipcart v3.0 plugin for joomla? I am currently using the plugin with V2.0
@jcasoft Thanks 😊
Unfortunately, we are not the ones developing third party plugins for Snipcart - so I can't answer your question precisely.
Maybe contact the Joomla plugin creators directly?

Hey! Good job to the Snipcart team. The new design feels really good and I'm sure I won't be the only one to appreciate the removal of jQuery dependency :)
Is there a list of features missing for v2 parity somewhere?
@olivier_rousseau1 Thanks for the kind words! We're so stoked that jQuery isn't a dependency anymore.
Yes, we do have a list of features we still have to implement, you'll find them at the bottom of this page: https://docs.snipcart.com/v3/
@mattrambles thanks for sticking around since the start! 👊

I remember using Snipcart back when they first came out. Great product, great team. Too bad I don't have a use for it right now, but would totally go back to them. Great to see you've made it this far. Congrats on the launch @the_fln
?makers How would you recommend going about using Snipcart + an SSG + a headless CMS to create a store with hundreds of products?
I read a few of your tutorials on pairing Snipcart with Hugo, Jekyll and 11ty, but all of them use a store with only a couple of products as a demo.
What happens when you need editors to be able to upload products in bulk (perhaps by importing a CSV file)? Which headless CMS would you recommend for such a use case?
@anna_0x@the_fln thanks a bunch for the suggestions! This gives me a good starting point for further research! I'll look into each of them.
Sidenote: Funny how the Sanity and DatoCMS guides are literally the same, word for word, only Sanity used cat breeds as an example and Dato dog breeds 😅😅
Pros:
- Default cart looks much better than v2.0
- Simple checkout flow
- Full-screen mobile checkouts way better than v2.0
- More control over customization
- Fresher documentation, few spots to improve though
Cons:
- Would've liked to play with standalone SDK but I understand it's coming
- Multi-lingual support needed for my projects, but again, coming
@tanvi_rajadhyaksha It's most definitely coming, on the roadmap. You're not the first to ask for more explicit guidance on this point - we'll get to it!
