Morphology
The meaning 'a container for items selected during shopping' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'shopping' (buying goods) with 'bag' (a container). Even the e-commerce 'virtual bag' sense is a straightforward metaphorical extension of a physical bag and follows common noun-noun compounding patterns cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Shopping bag on a website borrows the image of a real shopping bag: when you shop online you 'put' items into a virtual bag just like placing goods into a real bag before going to 'checkout'. That's why it means 'a virtual container on a site where you keep items before you buy them'.
