Is it possible for a customer to save their shopping cart for later?

[hnbrace]

Can a customer save their shopping cart and return later to purchase the items in their cart? If not, is there an add on or plugin that would allow them to do this?

Thanks

Update: This feature is now available in eStore:

eStore doesn’t have an option like this. Maybe I will add an option for this.

Thank you for considering to add this. I have had a few people ask if they could do this or make a wishlist so they didn’t have to go through the whole site again to find what they wanted every time.

Yes…this would be really nice! Add my vote!

I really NEED this feature, I purchased the emember package as well (but I can’t get it to install), does that allow it? I am using NextGen and have a LOT of pictures for people to look at and purchase. This is a necessary feature!!!!! Any update?

I started working on this feature but I don’t have an update yet.

You can now enable the save and retrieve cart feature from the eStore settings menu by checking the “Enable Save and Retrieve Cart Feature” option.

You can place the following shortcode on a post, page or sidebar which will show a save and retrieve shopping cart section to allow your customers to save the current shopping cart or retrieve a previously saved cart.

[wp_eStore_save_retrieve_cart]

Thanks again, that’s a nice feature.

Ok, I have placed the shortcode indicated, and I do see new icons save and retrieve, but they don’t do anything. It only has the link to the shopping cart with an anchor [http://mydomain.com/shopping-cart/#] as an example. What does it do? How does it store this info? Does the visitor have to be a subscriber/member in order to save and retrieve the cart? This is a bit obscure as to the function. Please explain.

Thanks,

G

You most likely have JavaScript conflicts on your web page. Please post a correct link to the page where you have the shopping cart so I can investigate your page’s HTML code.

hello, it is [http://www.wpthemesforevents.com/shopping-cart/]. I have a theme that is not wp default, but I tested in both themes twentyten and the current theme. Both show the same thing. Please check for me. Thanks

You have a lot of JavaScript conflicts on your webpage (you have a lot of plugins that are all including lots of JavaScript files to it is hard to say which one exactly has the bad JavaScript code). I noticed the following line that is including a very old version of the JQuery library in your site (this is bad so you should take care of that):

<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.wpthemesforevents.com/wp-content/themes/strikon/js/jquery-1.5.1.min.js?ver=3.3.2′></script&gt;

You can do this test to find the source:

Nice feature. Just want to know how the customer is supposed to remember their cart code. There must be a way to change it that I don’t see.

My first test cart code is 51c2bb5a5ec97.

I would never be able to recall that code, let alone enter it later without typos!

Thanks!

[Pamela]

Oh geez! Did that seem unfriendly? I didn’t mean it too be! But on re-reading myself it seems so. Sorry for my lack of professionalism there.

I have to edit better!

Cheers, Pam

Hi Pam, The cart ID that you get is something you just save somewhere in your computer or write it down on a piece of paper (It is like a receipt ID). That cart ID has to be unique so it gets automatically generated.
