Morphology
The meaning 'a container where a customer places items to purchase' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'shopping' (buying goods) with 'cart' (a container for carrying items). This noun-noun composition is common cross-linguistically and easily extends from physical supermarket trolleys to a virtual container, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Shopping cart online uses the picture of the real shopping cart in a shop: adding items to it on a website is like putting goods into a cart while you 'shop'. So it became the name for the place on a website or app where you keep things before you 'pay'.
