I'm trying to set up a A/B test with the shopping cart - but everytime I do this the cart is empty.
After reading lots of posts I have added items in my basket on a different tab, tried it on incogneto browsing and deleted all my cookies and repeated all the process - the code is definately implimented at the basket.
Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.

What are you trying to achieve here and what is not working? I think some more feedback on what is going wrong might help figure out what the problem is in this case.

@jenniew_uk - Based on what has been tried to fix the brokenness, I'm guessing the editor is not displaying the Cart with items in it?
Have you tried switchign from "Editing" mode to "Interactive" (top right area of the editor window)? This will let you navigate and shop on your site (adding things to your basket then navigating to the cart page) and then switch back to "Editing" mode once you are back on the Cart page with items.

You need to make sure you have the Optimizely extension (and it is active) when editing changes to the cart. In a different tab navigate to your store, add a product (any), snag the url and build your test from there in Optimizely.
