For a client, I am building a Magento 2 module to automatically send an abandoned cart email when certain conditions are met. I started of with testing when Magento 2 considers a cart abandoned, but simply creating a cart and leaving the page doesn't always seem to trigger the reporting process.
Does anyone have more information on this topic?
Abandoned is not magento 2 default feature.So, magento does not calculate a cart as abandoned or not.
In magento,you can access a cart until that quote/cart has been delete from Quote at table.
For quest customer, a cart is active when session is expire. So,
Implement abandoned is totally depend on your business logic.

A product in my store (e.g. a fine art print) has a base price of £20 and it has multiple customizable options (size / framing) that are added as additional items to the cart (e.g. Small [£0] / Medium [+£10] / Large [+£20] or Unframed [£0] / Framed [+£10] )
I have to do it this way because some products have more than 3 variant options (Shopify only supports 3)
These additional items that represent the customization options for the base product are added when the customer adds the base product to cart, but the additional products representing options are hidden to the customer in the cart.
At checkout however all is revealed, the base product appears with 2 additional items along with their additional prices. Not ideal but OK!
However, it occurred to me that there's nothing stopping a tech-savvy nerd from grabbing the variant ID of the additional items and sending a POST request to /cart/update.js that removes them from the order during checkout.
The customer just reloads the checkout page and they've just halved the price they have to pay!
I need to prevent this from happening.
I don't suppose there's a way to validate all the items in the cart when the customer requests the checkout page?
If that's not possible, how do other Shopify stores get around this issue?
If you are on the Shopify Plus plan there are two things you can do:
During checkout validation - use Script Editor to check the cart contents and if it's invalid, set the base product quantity and additional products to 0. This will prevent customers from checking out.
Post checkout validation - use Shopify Flow to cancel the order after it's placed and if it's invalid
But that's a lot of development, especially when you are not familiar with it, it will be hard to go through and make it work as expected (covering all edge cases). It's possible to create a such script but analysis of all possible scenarios and writing a code for it will take some time. If I were you I would consider an app that creates bundles as a single item. Adding such a bundle to the cart takes a few seconds to process as the app is making some admin API calls in the background but it solves your problem. I cannot promote any paid solution on StackOverflow but you will easily find something - there are plenty of solutions in the app store.
The decision comes down to your estimation + possible change requests and fixes vs. the cost of the app on a yearly basis
I am planning to make an e-commerce site and there are some steps that I need to think about.
For example, I will add a product to the cart. In your opinion, what stages should this process go through in the background in order for me to take this action? Which checks should be done in what order? For example, if I assume that I will do stock control, should I do this stock control through a separate stock microservice? Other than that, what kind of steps and checks should it go through?
Here's what I'm planning. I have a frontend application and from here I will send a request to my cart service (a rest api) via an ApiGateway when the user presses the add to cart button. The addbasket method of this service will be run. Here I will first check stock from my stock micro service. If there is stock, I will add it to the cart. If not, I'll be back.
What else should I do here? Also where should I store the basket? Should I consider a database or a different option?
Actually, what I want to ask is what steps should I go through and what controls should I do to develop the add to cart operation. At this stage, where should I store the products in the basket, etc.?
Could you please explain what is the best way to make this work?
thank you everyone
We had a developer add a custom code to certain product pages so that the user could order multiple quantities of multiple product variants all at once from one product page.
The issue is that the script takes too long to run...when you click Add To Cart it is taking 30-60 seconds or more to add all the products to the cart.
That is way too long. (see video here https://www.dipietro.biz/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/add-to-cart-slow.webm )
This is because the script is adding each product to the cart sequentially one by one instead of simultaneously.
Is this something that can be fixed?
We need the Add To Cart speed increased drastically.
I've been told that if we had access to the cart.php file that sits on BigCommerce's server we could just add some type of ajax multi array function and that would solve the problem but of course we do not have access to BigCommerce's servers.
Any help is appreciated at this point.
Thanks!
Without seeing the code, most likely the issue is that, as you mentioned, the products are being added to the cart sequentially, while also waiting for each individual add to cart request to finish before beginning the next - that is, it will add a product to the cart, wait for that product to successfully be added, and then proceed to add the next product to the cart.
Each 'add to cart' action is an individual POST request to the cart.php file. There is a challenge here in that BigCommerce will block the requests if too many of them occur within a certain time period; this is a BigCommerce security feature.
While you do not have access to the cart.php file, and while I do not know the specifics of the BigCommerce rate-limit/security feature, the best way to approach this is to determine and set a feasible max number of concurrent requests as well as a necessary cool-down period in order to maximize the number of requests to BigCommerce while also satisfying the security/rate-limit limitation.
For example, you might set up the program to concurrently add 3 products to the cart, wait 1 second, and then proceed to add another 3 products. Does this make sense?
I working on Magento with carts. I using SOAP to create cart and add products to it. but can i get list of carts. And how to active it.
In dashboard of magento admin, i see
Reports > Shopping Cart > Abandoned Carts
with list of carts is active. Can i get it?
Thank a lot, sorry for my bad english.
If you want to see how the query behind the report is generated, have a look at https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/83132783e0a6bed32c45e6d06df851865e668abc/app/code/Magento/Reports/Model/Resource/Quote/Collection.php#L54 - this is the code that forms the query. You can see the table fields it uses (e.g. checking if is_active, must be at least one item in cart, etc), then sorts by updated_at so oldest cart comes up first.
There is also a blog post at http://cyrillschumacher.com/2015/01/02/magento2---search-parameters-for-the-rest-api/ which describes (for the REST API) how to build a search. It is backed by the same data constructs as for SOAP.
You can use the end point http:///soap/default?wsdl&services=quoteCartRepositoryV1 to bring up the WSDL file.
Sorry, I don't have time right now to build up the SOAP request myself, but hopefully these pointers are useful to help you make some progress.
on my website I sell unique items. I have programmed it so that on the selling page, users can select any amount of these items, and it calculates the cost. The key is that I only have 1 of each of these items. So I need the shopping cart system to not allow the payment to go through unless it is available.
I've been searching for a good quick/easy/cheap solution and can't find one. I don't expect this site to make a lot of money (the transactions are a few bucks), so I didn't want to need a ssl certificate.
The only way I know of not needing an ssl certificate would be to use paypal or google checkout. However, I do not think there is a way of using these services and making paypal's server run a script to check how many are available on the site. Any solution?
Thanks
I was thinking about it more, and I think the problem is that once the user gets to the paypal payment screen, I have no control. I guess I could do something like they click the buy it now link, a php script updates it to sold, then they go to the paypal screen, but then they might not continue the purchase...
If you use PayPal Website Payments Standard (using a cart rather than 'Buy Now' Buttons) then you could use IPN or PDT (see the paypal docs here) to get PayPal to call back to you with the status of the payment.
The work flow would then be to set status to reserved when the item is added to the cart, and then wait for the IPN/PDT call to come back with the payment status, and mark the item as sold.
You would still need to check and reset to available any item that had been reserved for longer than say 2 Hours. (You could do this before serving a page to a user so that they have the latest availability and you don't need a cron job or long running process)
If you could provide a little more information about how you have implemented ur shopping card, it would have been more easier for other to assist! If you are using any ecommerce solution then it should be there already in the track inventory section. But Provided that you have implemented d shopping cart manually, why don't you add little bit of codes that checks the inventory status first before letting your customers check out?
