• We noticed a case where the total of the mini cart widget doesn’t immediately update to the latest total upon adding to cart
• Workaround: Programmatically refresh the page after adding to cart

Since we only use test data in this case, we need to do these some extra steps:

• Go to Ucommerce>Settings>Security>Users, enter a user and click save

• Change the Payment method Service to Default Payment Method Service inside of the Settings>Orders>Payment Methods and add the AcceptURL link

• Run the ScratchIndexer in Ucommerce>Settings>Search

• Disable Use Cached Controller Container Assemblies, by going into Sitefinity Settings>Advanced>Feather, removing the checkmark and recycling the application.

You can now navigate to the website, and see the Ucommerce widgets in action! Going through the checkout flow will complete the order, and you will be able to see it in the Ucommerce back office.

Be aware that some of the default products and variants have no price, and the Marketing Campaign is giving sale on some of the products, this can all be manually changed in the back office.
