Check Box

Use this system option to enable or disable netFORUM's ability to save a shopping cart in eWeb for a customer who abandons a shopping cart by logging out or closing the browser window. If a customer abandons the browser session before completing the purchase by closing the browser, or logging out, then when he or she returns, the same item(s) will appear in the cart. If the customer is a guest, then he or she must use the same computer and browser for this functionality to work. netFORUM records the items in the cart based on IP address for the user if login information is not available. See WEBCentralizedShoppingCartStoreForeWeb for information on an xWeb web method that can create a saved cart that a user may then load in eWeb.

The default for this option is false (cleared check box).

Tip: Your staff can run an iWeb report to follow-up on abandoned shopping cart merchandise. The report is called the Abandoned Shopping Cart Report. Find the report by going to Modules > Reports and specifying the following:
Module: Accounting
Category: Invoice
Delivery Method: (any option)
