Cart creation.
A customer does not need to register on the site to make a purchase. The order process starts when the visitor selects a product under the Buy Menu and adds it to a shopping cart. A cart (basket) is created and saved in the system, and is viewed in Orders > Carts. If the customer does not complete the checkout procedure, the cart remains in the system for a specified time.
Without closing the website, If the customer returns to the Buy Menu, the cart is available for continued shopping. Already, the system performs inventory and pricing checks for warehouse availability and discounts for products in the cart. These checks are updated if the customer returns to the cart.
