Basics

Creating a Cart-enabled Template​

This document assumes the Cart Add-on has already been installed.

To use the Cart Add-on, the cart features should be enabled and configured in an album template based on the Pangolin Album module.

In Backlight's admin menu, go to Designer => List Templates. Scroll down to the Album Templates, and either create a new template or clone an existing template of type "Pangolin Album".

In the designer for that template, scroll down and open the "Add-ons" control group. For the "Enable Add-ons" option, select "Cart". You will then have options to enable and the cart controls that will appear with the gallery.

Purchase Button on Grid​

Set "Purchase Button on Grid" to ON. A cart button will appear on each thumbnail within the gallery.

Purchase Button on Large Photo​

Set "Purchase Button on Large Photo" to ON. A cart button will appear on the top-right when full-sized photos are shown.

Show 'Add Package' Button​

Whether to include an 'Add Package' button on galleries. When set to ON, further options for button placement and text are shown.

Mixed Pricing​

Whether to allow individual photos to use different pricing schemes from the pricing scheme assigned to the encompassing album. When set to ON, per-photo pricing schemes can be set via the Category metadata field within Lightroom.

Generate Photos for Purchase​
