You had a good start: Code: $hikashopHelper = 'https://elodyprsteny.cz/backup/administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php'; if(!file_exists($hikashopHelper) || !include_once($hikashopHelper)) return; $cartClass = hikashop_get('class.cart'); $cart = $cartClass->getFullCart(); echo $cart->full_total->prices[0]->price_value_with_tax; 2. Even in Ajax, the user session cookies are passed by the browser, so your PHP script will know which user account is asking for the information and thus it will automatically pick the correct cart with the correct prices.

Did you also load Joomla before loading the HikaShop helper ?

Thank you very much, Filip")* Hi, This means that the user session is not kept and thus HikaShop doesn't have the cart_id reference in the user session. So maybe you need to do something in your code to load the user session yourself.
