Override capabilities for Add to Cart button on the Product Details LWC

Add to Cart Override Capabilities

Associations and their members have an improved experience when working with the Lighting Store on Community Hub. Association staff and admin users can now define and set the destination behavior of the ‘Add to Cart' button for Products through staff view. The feature provides opportunities for Associations to offer product types other than Merchandise through the Lightning Store and control the next steps in the purchase process.
