How to Configure Cart Thumbnails in Magento 2

Cart Thumbnails are small images that appear in the cart when customers shopping online. These undersized pictures help to give online buyers an overview of the product they are about to spend money on. If a customer buys a simple product with specific color, then ideally, the Cart Thumbnails should match that product.

However, the thumbnails do not always show exactly what the product is (in terms of size, color, or length). In other words, it is impossible to display all the variations of a configurable or grouped product which have multiple options to choose. For these two types, Magento 2 allows admin to select the Cart Thumbnails images from either their “parent” products or from the product variation.

To configure Cart Thumbnails images for Configurable and Grouped products in the current store view, do the following:

Firstly, sign in with your admin account. On the Admin sidebar, select Stores.
Choose Configuration under Settings.
Expand Sale on the left panel, then click Checkout.
Click the drop-down icon in the Shopping Cart section. Now you can do the settings:

Grouped Product Image: Set it to “Parent Product Thumbnail” if you want the thumbnail image for grouped products to be selected from parent product. Set it to “Product Thumbnail Itself” otherwise.
Configurable Product Image: Select the “Parent Product Thumbnail” option if you want the thumbnail image for configurable products to be selected from parent product. Otherwise, select the “Product Thumbnail Itself” option.

When you finish the settings, tap Save Config (on the upper-right corner of your working screen) to save changes.

You may need to refresh the caches by clicking the Cache Management link when the system note appears.

Now, go to your store’s backend and see what you can do with thumbnail images for your products to improve your customer’s shopping experience.

How to Activate Reorder in Magento 2

When discuss about supporting tools for Shopping Cart in online stores, it is Magento 2 that provides a lot of options for store owners to better manage their electronic sales. One of these is Reorder Option in Sales Configuration. If Reorder is enabled in the backend, registered buyers can edit their existing orders right in My dashboard section.

To activate Reorder Option, follow the steps below:

Log in the backend with an admin account. On the Admin sidebar, tap Stores.
After that, click Configuration in the Settings section.
On the left panel, expand the SALES row and select Sales then.
Scroll down to the Reorder section. Set it to your preference:

“Yes”: Allow customers to reorder in My dashboard section.
“No”: Reorder is not allowed. Because Magento 2 set the field to “Yes” as default, you should clear the Use System Value checkbox before choosing this option.

Lastly, tap Save Config on the upper-right corner to confirm your settings. You may need to reindex the data and refresh the cache by clicking the Cache Management link when the system note appears.

Once Reorder is enabled, it is not only buyers can edit their orders but also admins can do it from the backend. To reorder for an existing order in the backend, do the following:

On the Admin sidebar, click Customers. Next, select All customer.
You can either use the filter to search for a specific customer (search by name, or email, or tax code,…) or enter the keyword(s) to the search box on the upper left corner. You might need to refresh the filter to clear all the previous filters before adding a new one.
After finding the customer, click edit in the Action column.
On the left panel, tap Orders under Customer Information. Here you can see all the orders that the selected customer has placed. Click Reorder Option in the last column of the order that you want to edit.
