Where are the items in a user's shopping cart stored? I assumed it would be the Smith_ShoppingCart table but when I add a product to the cart there doesn't seem to be a record of that product added to that table.

I want to add items to a user's shopping cart via a stored procedure on a button click in a custom module and then redirect them to the checkout page so they can enter their Credit Card information. Some of our products are service and it doesn't make sense to make them go through the first couple steps of the cart process.

Thanks

Thanks, is there any way to achieve this and skip to step one of the checkout? For these services, I don't want to land on the cart page because quantity isn't going to be a factor and if they increase that and then checkout, I'll have a mess on my hands.

Thanks again

**UPDATE: Never mind, I was able to hide the buttons and columns I wanted using some javascript but I'm wondering if there's a way I can make sure the cart is empty and if it's not. can I empty it programmatically?**

Thanks Scott but my client already paid quite a bit extra for the cart due to some custom modifications so I don't think spending more for the source code is in the cards.

Scott, I no longer need the ability to clear the cart on the fly so you can forget about trying to find that information for me but I have another issue. I have no idea how you're storing the shopping cart items but the items are appearing across different users.

e.g. If I start out with a completely empty cart, login as a user and add an item, if I don't complete the payment process, logout, and login as a different user, the item the first user added is in the second user's cart (as well as the first). I imagine it would be in the cart no matter what user I login as.

I'm not sure if this is how your cart always behave, if it's a result from the custom programming we paid for, or a defect in the ?productid= querystring way to add a product.

Thanks

I tested this on our test installs and was not able to replicate. I added a product to the cart using the querystring https://www.smith-consulting.com/buynow/ctl/cart/mid/480.aspx?productid=1 then clicked continue shopping then clicked view cart from the porduct list page and product detail page and I have only one item in my cart. Did you change the link on your view cart buttons or are you you clicking a link with an href that has teh product id in the querystring?

What version of ie are you running? Could be a security setting in your ie.
