I'd like to find out if the Luminate e-commerce shopping cart has the option of saving a user's shopping cart. Specficially, I'd like to set this up so that when a user abandons the e-commerce area but returns later, the items they chose would still be listed in their shopping cart. I'm not looking for a specific "Save My Cart" button, but the automatic shopping functionality where based on the user's ID or cookies, their shopping cart data would be retained from a separate browser session. Is this a possibility with this product?

    Hi Katie, while there is some semblence of cart maintenance through the same browsing session, what you describe is not currently possible over a longer period of time natively in the product. I think this could potentially be achieved with some JavaScript heavy lifting with cookies or local storage. As far as working later with that saved data, while there are unfortunately no official API methods currently with Luminate Ecommerce, if you inspect the Net panel as you interact with the store you'll see it's possible to do things such as add items to your cart by posting with URL parameters.
