Welcome to EwayHow to Use Shopping Carts
Your shopping cart contains items that you plan to order soon. Once you complete the checkout process, your active shopping cart becomes an order and a new shopping cart is automatically created for you. You may use just one shopping cart at a time or you may choose to create and manage multiple shopping carts at the same time.
