Hi there,

We have a web site where we use impersonation. When two users can impersonate the same customer, they end up seeing / modifying each other's cart. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? I know there's the "Cart Isolation" feature, but that may be too much. (If I understand it's purpose correctly, it's a machine-specific cart so if I log in on machine 2 I don't see my cart I created on machine 1, which is not what we need).

I don't mind doing this through code if I have to.

Thanks,

Imar

So cart context not on the user, but on the user+impersonater?

Yes, I think that would solve it.

Bottom line is that "per human logging in" I'd like to have a separate cart. So when you and I work for and can impersonate the same company, I shouldn't see your cart nor should you see mine.

In a broader perspective though we may need something more flexible or configurable / programmable. One request we see more and more is cart approval where I can create a cart and then have you approve it and complete the order. That would require a way to dynamically load a cart that you didn't necessarily own previously. The ability to assign a cart to a user through code would solve this (a subscriber maybe) and maybe also could have solved my initial request (loading a cart from the database based on some custom fields for example and then associating it with the user).

Does this make sense? Happy to explain further.

Hello,

 

Has this issue been adressed in DW?

 

Best regards, Anders

Nope.

But I think you can accomplish this to some extend by setting the attached checkbox. See dump.

That will of course not work if user a logs in on 2 different devices and impersonates the same company and expect the same cart...
