I for the life of me cannot work out how to have a menu item pointing to the 'Cart'? I have a menu item pointing to the 'Checkout' but i cannot see one to go to a page that just shows the cart and not the addresses, payment method and shipping method.

Does a page like this exist?

Not it doesn't but you can do it with the checkout. Just change your checkout workflow so that you only have the cart view on the first step and that will do what you want.

thanks,
i read the documentation more thoroughly and understand how the checkout workflow works now.

i have changed my checkout workflow to:

cart,login_address_shipping_payment_confirm_coupon_cart_status_fields,end

and it works as i wanted now however, on the first cart page the button to proceed to checkout uses the HIKA_NEXT language string which i have overridden to say 'Confirm Order' which isn't applicable on this screen. I want it so say 'Checkout' and then on the next 'checkout' screen it say 'Confirm Order'.

How is this possible? (as it seems they both use the same language string)

following on from this, can i create a separate joomla menu item to the first cart page (eg cart,)?

and another joomla menu then to the checkout?

No, both pages of the checkout uses the same menu item.
You would have to edit the file "step" of the view "checkout" and change the Itemid hidden field there so that it uses another one than the current one and turn off the force menu on checkout option.

For the button text, you can have different text on different steps, but that will also require some code change in that same file:

I know different users will setup their stores differently around the world and so you need to keep it flexible, however maybe these options could be added in future releases somehow...

We'll keep that in mind for the future. Thanks.
