Vai ser adicionado ao seu carrinho virtual.
Using ‘seu’ in Portugal sounds overly formal; ‘teu’ is the natural informal choice.

Skipping the contraction (writing ‘a teu’) is grammatically incorrect.

Cultural Tip
In Portugal the informal possessive ‘teu’ is common, especially in casual digital communication. In Brazil you’ll more often hear ‘seu carrinho virtual’.
