Customer Accounts & Saving Carts

[pharry]

Two questions: how long is the cart saved for customers who are not registered. I thought I remembered setting this somewhere, but now I can't find it.

Next question: What is the advantage to the customer of registration? I don't support multiple price lists, so I don't need accounts for that.

Thanks,
Pat

You set the expiry values in web/configure expiry periods.

If you use customer accounts the customer does not have to reenter their address everytime they shop (although if they use remember me then they wouldn't have to either).

Also in Actinic_Primary you can uncomment the following to add a save and load cart link:

<A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:SAVECARTURL"><FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=-1><I><B>Save

Shopping List</B></I></FONT></A>
<A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:RESTORECARTURL"><FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=-1><I><B>Load

Shopping List</B></I></FONT></A>

Seems to be a useful tool to me although I wonder how many Actinic sites use it.
