1. A method for cross-platform digital shopping cart processing, the method comprising:
determining, by a one or more hardware processors, a cart abandonment event at a first merchant platform, the cart abandonment event indicating an abandoning of a first digital shopping cart by a user during a first session at the first merchant platform, wherein the first digital shopping cart is associated with first shopping cart data, wherein the first merchant platform is associated with a first data format for elements of the first shopping cart data for display using a first interface layout;
detecting, by the one or more hardware processors, a creation of a second digital shopping cart based on one or more user selections by the user during a second session at a second merchant platform that is different from the first merchant platform, wherein the second digital shopping cart is associated with second shopping cart data, wherein the second merchant platform is associated with a second data format for elements of the second shopping cart data for display using a second interface layout;
responsive to said detecting the creation of the second digital shopping cart, generating, by the one or more hardware processors, a unified view for the first digital shopping cart and the second digital shopping cart, the unified view for display during a checkout process in the second session at the second merchant platform, wherein said generating the unified view comprises converting the elements of the first shopping cart data to the second data format for display using the second interface layout of the second merchant platform;
receiving, by the one or more hardware processors, a user request, via the unified view during the second session, to process both elements of the first digital shopping cart and elements of the second digital shopping cart;
inputting, by the one or more hardware processors automatically without a user input or a navigation by the user to the first merchant platform, the elements of the first shopping cart to a cloned digital shopping cart of the first digital shopping cart with the first merchant platform;
recreating, by the one or more hardware processors based on the inputting without the user input or the navigation to the first merchant platform, the first digital shopping cart as the cloned digital shopping cart with the first merchant platform; and
processing, by the one or more hardware processors, the second digital shopping cart at the second merchant platform and the copy of the first digital shopping cart at the first merchant platform.
