Hi Benyamin,

Here is peace of code that allows you to add products to shopping cart:

// Gets a product to add to the shopping cart
SKUInfo product = SKUInfoProvider.GetSKUs()
                                    .WhereEquals("SKUName", "NewProduct")
                                    .WhereNull("SKUOptionCategoryID")
                                    .FirstObject;

if (product != null)
{
    // Gets the current shopping cart
    ShoppingCartInfo cart = ECommerceContext.CurrentShoppingCart;

    // Creates the shopping cart in the database if it does not exist yet
    if (cart.ShoppingCartID == 0)
    {
        ShoppingCartInfoProvider.SetShoppingCartInfo(cart);
    }

    // Prepares a shopping cart item representing 1 unit of the product
    ShoppingCartItemParameters parameters = new ShoppingCartItemParameters(product.SKUID, 1);
    ShoppingCartItemInfo cartItem = ShoppingCartInfoProvider.SetShoppingCartItem(cart, parameters);

    // Saves the shopping cart item to the shopping cart
    ShoppingCartItemInfoProvider.SetShoppingCartItemInfo(cartItem);

    // Evaluates and recalculates the shopping cart (discounts, shipping, price totals, etc).
    cart.Evaluate();
}

I took this code from Kentico 11 documentation. You can find more on this link.

Best regards, Dragoljub

Hi,
Maybe this article can be helpful too, althought it is for v9, the idea should be still the same.
