});
$(".shoppingCart ol").droppable({

    drop: function(event, ui) {
        var self = $(this);
        self.find(".placeholder").remove();
        var productid = ui.draggable.attr("data-id");
        if (self.find("[data-id=" + productid + "]").length) return;
        $("<li></li>", {
            "text": ui.draggable.text(),
            "data-id": productid

Add specific class name in accept parameter of dropable area. Add the class credit or debit in the dragable element.

$("#shoppingCart1 ol").droppable({
    activeClass: "ui-state-default",
    hoverClass: "ui-state-hover",
    accept:".credit",  //for credit
    drop: function(event, ui) {


$("#shoppingCart2 ol").droppable({
    activeClass: "ui-state-default",
    hoverClass: "ui-state-hover",
    accept:".debit",  //for credit
    drop: function(event, ui) {

If you want to restrict dropping elements to specific containers use 'accept' option of target droppable: http://jqueryui.com/droppable/#accepted-elements.

It determines elements that can be dropped via selector e.g.

 $( "#droppable" ).droppable({
      accept: "#canBeDroppedId",
      ...
 });
