## At a glance

- **Vendor**: mageplaza (https://packagento.com/mageplaza.md)
- **Latest version**: 4.0.6 — released 2025-07-15
- **Pricing**: Free
- **Package type**: Magento 2 module
- **Status**: active, accepting new buyers

## Installation

Packagento is licence-gated, so even free packages need a licence on a project before Composer can resolve them.

1. **Sign in or create an account** at https://packagento.com/customer/account/.

2. **Add the package to your account.** Open https://packagento.com/mageplaza/module-share-cart and complete the free checkout. A licence is minted automatically.

3. **Create or pick a project, then activate the licence on it.**
   - Projects represent the Magento installs you deploy to. Manage them at https://packagento.com/projects/.
   - Activate the new licence on the project you'll deploy this package to. Activation is what generates the Composer credentials scoped to that project.

4. **Add the project credentials to your Magento codebase.**

   Grab the project's public + private key from https://packagento.com/projects/ (open the project, then its Credentials tab), and add them to `auth.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "http-basic": {
       "packagento.com": {
         "username": "ppk_live_...",
         "password": "psk_live_..."
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Add the Packagento Composer repository to `composer.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "repositories": [
       { "type": "composer", "url": "https://packagento.com" }
     ]
   }
   ```

5. **Install and apply.**

   ```bash
   composer require mageplaza/module-share-cart:*
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush
   ```

### 4. Highlight Features

#### Quick share by copy-and-paste 

**Share Cart Extension** allows the store owners to add an extra button which is **Share Cart** while a customer is processing their purchasing.

The button can be displayed in the **Minicart** section and **Shopping Cart Page**. By clicking this button, the customer can copy their shopping cart’ s URL and paste to a destination just in the blink of an eye. When the URL recipient clicks on the shared URL, their current shopping cart will be automatically added with the same items.

#### A brief summary with Text button 

For the cart which contains a large number of items, **Share Cart** module allows the customers to view a shot summary easily with **Text** - another extra button.

When the customer hit the **Text** button on their **Shopping Cart Page**, a pop-up text can be seen, it appears as a purchase summarizing box.
This little simple button supports customers in taking a clear overview of chosen items with necessary information such as items’ name, price, quantity and the cart total.

#### Quick Shopping cart PDF file publishing

**PDF** button is another extra button with the function to download. When the customer hits this button, a PDF file will be downloaded and stored automatically in the user's current device. In comparison to the **Text** button with quick view function, **PDF**'s function allows the customer to get detail information such as:
- Information of store: Company Name, Address, Email, Phone, VAT Information, Registered Number, and Warning Message
- Date of the purchase
- Purchase summary: Quantity, Price, Total, Stock ID, Descriptio

## Dependencies

### Require

| Package | Constraint |
|---|---|
| mageplaza/module-core | ^1.5.13 |
| mpdf/mpdf | ^7.1.0 \| ^8.0.0 \| ^8.2.3 \| ^8.2.5 |

## Quality

Latest release (4.0.6) fails the Packagento QA pipeline. Verdicts below are per-cell (Magento line × PHP version) for the matrixed tools, and run-once for the static / security tiers.


### Compatibility

Each Magento line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compile + static-content deploy). Cells show passed / failed / untested; staircase gaps render as `–`.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | Pass | Pass | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | Pass | Pass | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | Pass | Pass |


### Code Quality

Advisory checks against the module's source. Never affect the Compatibility verdict — a phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible.

#### Static Analysis

Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPCS | Warning | 42 | 42 warnings (ruleset: Magento2) — 33 auto-fixable with phpcbf |
| PHPMD | Warning | 17 | 17 rule violations (UndefinedVariable:11, UnusedFormalParameter:3, MissingImport:2, IfStatementAssignment:1) |
| Cpd | Pass | 0 |  |
| Composer validate | Info | 1 | valid; 1 advisory note (composer validate --strict) |

#### PHPStan

Type-checks the module against a real Magento install. Re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | 58 | 58 | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | 58 | 58 | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | 56 | 56 |


### Tests

Unit and integration suites run per Magento + PHP cell. Test failures speak to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a line, so they're reported here separately.

#### Unit Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |

#### Integration Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |


### Security

Dependency-advisory audit (composer audit) plus a source malware scan. A malware detection fails the version outright.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composer audit | Pass | 0 |  |
| Malware scan | Pass | 0 |  |
