# Add a catalog item to the shopping cart in Employee Center

Add a catalog item or order guide to the shopping cart to store at one place and checkout.

## Before you begin

Role required: requester

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Employee Center** > **IT**.

2.  Select a topic to view the catalog items and then select catalog item or record producer from the Catalog.

3.  Click **Add to Cart** in the Ordering widget.

    **Note:**

    -   You can add the same item to the cart multiple times. Every time you add an item to the cart, a new instance of the item is created.
    -   The cart information is automatically updated.
4.  Click **View Cart** from the confirmation message or the **Cart** option on the main navigation bar.

    The cart details page is displayed.

5.  To navigate to any cart item page, click the image or name of an item in the cart details page.

6.  If necessary, edit the quantity of items.

7.  To remove an item from the cart, click the Remove Item icon \(\[Omitted image "RemoveIcn.png"\] Alt text: Icon to remove item\).

    The item is removed from the cart. You can access the saved drafts from the My Request widget in the **Drafts** tab.

9.  To navigate to the Service Catalog landing page, click **Continue Shopping**.

10. To clear all the items from your cart, click **Clear Cart**.

11. To create a bundle from the cart:

    1.  Click **Save as Bundle**.

    2.  In the Create New Bundle window, specify the **Bundle Name** and select the items that you want to include.

    3.  Click **Save**.

    **Note:** When you create a bundle from the cart, which includes an order guide, the association of the items to the order guide is lost.

12. To add a saved bundle to the cart, open the bundle from the **My Saved Bundles** section and click **Add to Cart**.

13. To replace the cart items with a saved bundle, open the bundle from the **My Saved Bundles** section and click **Replace Cart**.

15. Specify the **Delivery Information** and **Special instructions**.

    You can browse and choose the files, drag the files, or copy and paste them in the Add attachments window.

17. Click **Checkout**.

    The corresponding request is displayed in the My Requests page with the request number, estimated delivery date for the entire order, price, and the order status of individual ordered items.
