Test manually: add items to cart, change quantity, remove items, search, apply filters, verify empty cart message, verify no results message, clear cart, and checkout. Test each feature and edge case before submitting.
Calculate the total normally, then format with toFixed(2): total.toFixed(2). This ensures two decimal places (e.g., 150.50 instead of 150.5). Use parseFloat when reading prices to avoid string concatenation.
