Admins can enable or disable Shopping Cart per root catalog in Settings. The toggle is enabled by default. This feature simplifies the process of enabling or disabling Shopping Cart by allowing admins to perform the action, rather than have it done on the backend. 

When the toggle is disabled, all active checkouts are released. The option will remain disabled for accounts that already opted to have Shopping Cart disabled.
