Shopping Cart

As we mentioned previously, we’ve extended the existing Shopping Cart to work with games and apps for the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs. Today, the feature is once again available for testing. Whether you’re shopping for games or apps for Xbox One and/or Windows 10 PCs, hardware or accessories, the improved Shopping Cart means you only have to go through checkout once.

How to add a game or app to the Shopping Cart:

Head to the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 PCs, online or on Xbox One (Xbox Insiders only) Navigate to the product details page for the item you wish to add to your cart Look for the “Add to Cart” button underneath the “Buy” button Select the “Add to cart” button To view your Shopping Cart, select the “Shopping Cart” button at the top of the Store navigation To remove an item from your Shopping Cart, navigate to that particular item on your Shopping Cart, and select “Remove”

Ready to check out? Click on the “Checkout” button to the right of your cart to complete your order.

Not ready to purchase a particular item? Navigate to that item in your Shopping Cart and select “Save for later.” We’ll remove that item from your cart and save it in a handy location right below the Shopping Cart itself for future reference.

Additionally, the updated Shopping Cart is persistent and works across Microsoft Store on Xbox One, Windows 10 PCs, and online. So, if you add or remove an item from your cart in one store, those changes will be reflected in the others.

Xbox Insiders can begin using the improved cart today, and shortly after Windows Insiders can begin testing the feature. In a few weeks, all customers using the Microsoft Store on Xbox One, Windows 10 PCs and online can start using it.
