Show Cart ID in Frontend

[kevin_rs]

Hi, we would like to make the Cart ID (which can be seen in the backend under Customers > Shopping Carts) displayed on the frontend when looking at the shopping cart. Is this possible? Can anyone help share some guidance on how this can be done? Thank you!

Hi, many thirty-bees/PrestaShop themes provide the variable `$cart` in the shopping cart template.

Then, in the template, you can simply add:

smarty
{* show Cart ID *}
div class="cart-id">
Cart ID: {$cart->id}
</div>

If it's not already available, you'll need to pass the Cart ID to Smarty via a controller.

The correct controller for the shopping cart is `CartController` (controllers/front/CartController.php)  (or for one-page checkout: `OrderController`, I think, you'll need to check that).

If you have to retrieve it via a controller, I would create an override for it so that it persists after an update.

Don't you consider this a vital secret for your shop? Aren't you afraid of competition tracing your business?

I think it's a big issue bug in the current code where it is leacked in FO urls.
