I see all the tutorials on laracasts using cashier describe paying for subscriptions to something. I want to learn a shopping cart. and I would like to implement it using laravel.
What is a good shopping cart? or do we build one using cashier?
I don't think that shopping cart is a strictly defined term so it varies based on your definition. In my mind shopping cart is a feature of eCommerce websites which allows users to manipulated (add, remove, change quantity) products that they are intending to buy.
Laravel Cashier is a first party package developed by Laravel team that helps you speed up the process of developing features required to bill users one time charges or interval subscriptions.
