temporary shopping cart

[nmlloyd]

I am trying to understand exactly how the temporary cart is stored.

 

e.g. a guest enters the online store adds items into the cart - exactly how are these items tracked in the system?

I can see how the permanent cart is updated in customers_basket table in the shopping_cart.php class.

 

Sorry if this is a stupid question to someone who understands it.

it is stored in the users session - this is either file based on your server or in your stores `sessions` table in the database depending on if you use file or database based sessions
