Use Simple Commerce with Static Caching

Static Caching is a really awesome feature of Statamic - taking advantage of it can really help to speed up your site!

Although, because e-commerce sites are dynamic (for example: the cart is different per user) you'll want to ignore those bits so they don't get cached.

Thankfully, you can wrap that code in Statamic's nocache tag. For example: you might want to do something like this for a line items counter in your site header:

{{ nocache }}
Cart ({{ sc:cart:count }} items)
{{ /nocache }}

Also, you'll want to do it for any other parts of your site that show cart information (like the cart/checkout pages). Just wrap the info in the tag and the job's a good 'n.

{{ nocache }}
{{ sc:cart }}
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Product</th>
<th>Price</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Total</th>
</tr>
</thead>
 
<tbody>
{{ items }}
<tr>
<td>
{{ product:title }}
</td>
 
<td>
{{ product:price }}
</td>
 
<td>
{{ sc:cart:updateItem :item="id" }}
<select
name="quantity"
onchange="this.parentElement.submit()"
>
{{ loop from="1" to="5" }}
<option
value="{{ value }}"
{{ if quantity == value }} selected {{ /if }}
>
{{ value }}
</option>
{{ /loop }}
</select>
{{ /sc:cart:updateItem }}
</td>
 
<td>{{ total }}</td>
</tr>
{{ /items }}
 
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td>Subtotal</td>
<td>{{ items_total }}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
{{ /sc:cart }}
{{ /nocache }}
