CyberStore Ecommerce 2023 Documentation
Persistent Cart (#11059)
The Persistent Cart is a feature of the CyberStore that ties the shopper to the contents of a unique cart object and persists the items added into the cart between logins. Returning shoppers will find items previously selected and still available to purchase remain in the cart. Shoppers will no longer have their shopping carts emptied when they are unable to complete their purchase in a singe session.
Important Note:
Shoppers will no longer be able to maintain separate shopping carts with a single login.
When an account is actively logged into more than one session at a time (on separate machines, browsers, etc.) all shoppers using that account will share the same Shopping Cart. Any change to the contents of the account's cart (add, edit, remove) will be simultaneously experienced by the other accounts.
In order for a cart to persist the shopper must have a registered Account. Anonymous shopper's will not have their cart selections maintained when their session ends.
When a logged-in shopper is not actively browsing the site, their cart becomes an Abandoned Cart and its contents are no longer taken into accout for any inventory calculations.
Restoring Abandoned Carts
Whenever a previously abandoned cart is restored to a new session, the cart lines will be recalculated to ensure that pricing accurately reflects the now current pricing, and all availability and view list rules for the cart will be applied.
During recalculation, lines will be removed from the cart whenever any of the following occurs to the Item since the last time the cart was active.
