Hi, 

If I have one dynamicweb solution with different shopping carts. I want that one of the shopping carts with it's products wil be reserved for one day. That is how it is set now. For the other shopping cart I want to set te minutes that the products will be reserved at 30 minutes. 

In the management center you can set this in Ecommerce --> Advanced Configuration --> General, but that is for all the shopping carts. 

Is that possible to set that different for the two shopping carts? So that in one the products will be reserved for a day and in the other one for 30 minutes.

That cannot be handled by cart. The setting cannot be overriden in code either... So no option for overruling this as it is now.

Ok I put the settings for the cart at 30 minutes in the testing area. I put something in my shopping cart and waited for more than 30 minutes and refreshed, but my cart was still not empty. 

Did I set something wrong in my settings?

I tried to set the saving of my shopping cart at 0 and 1 day and also that the products will be reserved in checkout step or when you put them in your shopping bag.

Hi Mannon

Reservation will not empty your cart - that is another setting as you mention.

On the product you have a number saying how many is in stock. That will be "(stock level from database) - (reserved stock for that product, taken from memory)". It will not affect the products in the cart. If a user keeps a product in the cart for longer than the reservation time, it will be 'freed' and the stock level on the product raises again. But the product will remain in cart. Now if you had only one product in stock, another customer can now also add it to cart - meaning you have 2 in cart - the first of the 2 users that checks out will get the product, the other one will get an error (if products out of stock cannot be purchased, yet another setting).
