Magento – Get the Total Price of items currently in the Cart

June 10, 2010 by rcastera 12 Comments

Ever wanted to get the total price of items in your Magento cart? Here you go:

<?php echo $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice(Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal()); ?>

1	<?php echo $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice(Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal()); ?>

Magento PHP

As mentioned above, this returns the total price in a span tag like this (with tags instead of brackets):

$135.13

I used the PHP function str_replace to remove the span:

// Get grand total in cart

PHP

$grandTotal = $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice(Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal());

1

$grandTotal = $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice(Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal());

// Remove span tag from result

PHP

$grandTotal = str_replace('<span class="price">', '', $grandTotal); $grandTotal = str_replace('</span>', '', $grandTotal);

1
2
3

$grandTotal = str_replace('<span class="price">', '', $grandTotal);

$grandTotal = str_replace('</span>', '', $grandTotal);

(Note that $grandTotal will still show the dollar sign or similar – not only the number)

Hello Richard,

I really like your blog…not just the information but the way you display the information.

I was wondering if there’s a way to store custom options on the product page to be able to add into the shopping cart? The reason why I’m asking is I’m working on a project and I need complete flexibility over my custom options.

I have an eyeglass prescription website and adding prescription lenses process needs to be very unique and easy to use but I’m finding it very difficult to do this in Magento. I just want to add things in the custom options without it being checked and omitted.

This is partially correct. It answers the question “Ever wanted to get the total price of items in your Magento cart formatted in a span with the price class and a dollar sign?

$138.00

The simple act of trying to just get the damn FLOAT value to assign to a variable is wasting my time.

Hey Richard

I’m trying to show/hide a div in the checkout process based on the cart subtotal or grand total (we show both, just not sure if either is easier to work with). Would I be able to use the above to do so?

Thanks
