If your store uses custom apps, there may be occasions where you need to refresh the the cart from custom code or application code. The cart can be refreshed globally by calling the `refreshCart`methond on the cart-items web component.

```javascript
let cartDrawer = document.querySelector('cart-items');
cartDrawer?.refreshCart();
```

Note, this only refreshes the cart count and the cart drawer. If you wish to open the cart in addition to refreshing the cart, you can do so by firing a custom event.

```javascript
const event = new CustomEvent('dialog:trigger:cart-drawer');
document.dispatchEvent(event);
```
