Embed Events

❗️

Only authorized domains are allowed to use this feature.

By enabling cart control, the parent page will receive a window.postMessage with cart and checkout actions, thereby enabling the parent page to handle cart and checkout actions for the user. Listen for events by adding the following code:

window.addEventListener('message', this.handleMessages);

Example of a message handler function

function handleMessages (event) => {
  const { type, value } = event.data
  if (type === 'cartAction') {
    const { action } = value
    
    if (action === 'ADD_TO_CART') {
    	const { variant_id, quantity } = value
      
      // Add custom add to cart function
      
    }
  } else if (type === 'REMOVE_FROM_CART') {
  
    // Add custom remove from cart function
    
  } else if (type === 'UPDATE_QUANTITY') {
    const { variant_id, quantity } = value
    
     // Add custom update quanity function
     
  } else if (type === 'INITIATE_CHECKOUT') {
  
    // Add custom proceed to checkout function
    
  }
 }
}

• TALKSHOPLIVE: variant.id

data = {
