I originally used theCrinsane/LaravelShoppingcart package but it is slow to update to the latest versions of Laravel. I now usehardevine/LaravelShoppingcart which is a forked version that updates quicker.

Themoney_format function does not work in Windows. Take a look atthis thread. As an alternative, just use thenumber_format function instead.

1. Inapp/helpers.php replacemoney_format line withreturn '$'.number_format($price / 100, 2);
2. Inapp/Product.php replacemoney_format line withreturn '$'.number_format($this->price / 100, 2);
3. Inconfig/cart.php set thethousand_seperator to an empty string or you might get a 'non well formed numeric value encountered' error. It conflicts withnumber_format.
