Shopping Cart Management

The Shopping cart management page is available to the Sana Admin users with the System administrator and Order processor roles. Shop accounts are not available to the Sana Admin users with the Order processor role.

In Sana Admin click: Sales > Shopping cart management.

There you can see all shopping carts of all customers and anonymous webstore visitors created in the Sana webstore. The shopping carts are shown until orders are created. It can be mainly used by customer service representatives to remove a broken shopping cart of a customer.

For example, the customer added several items to the shopping cart, but didn't complete the order. After some time the customer wants to complete the order, but something has changed, for example the webstore administrator has changed something in ERP that has affected shopping cart calculation for this customer, and the shopping cart cannot be calculated and has to be cleared. If the customer cannot do this directly in the webstore for some reason, the service representative can find the necessary (broken) shopping cart in Sana Admin and remove it so that the customer can continue shopping. You can remove the shopping cart using the Delete button.

The Shopping cart management page can be also used to remove some old shopping carts. Keeping old shopping carts leads to accumulation of unnecessary data.

Export Shopping Carts

You can also export shopping carts from Sana Admin to the CSV file. To do this, click Export. The CSV file provides more details about a shopping cart than it is available in Sana Admin.

That is why exporting a shopping cart to the CSV file can be useful in case you need more information about a shopping cart. The following shopping cart information is exported:

  • Shop account name
  • Shop account e-mail
  • Account name
  • Account e-mail
  • Account Id
  • Account type
  • Basket Id
  • Product Id
  • Variant Id
  • Quantity
  • Unit of Measure Id

If you used any filters on the Shopping cart management page, then only a shopping cart which fits the filter criteria will be exported to the CSV file. For example, if you filtered shopping carts by shop account name, then only a shopping cart created by this customer will be exported to the CSV file.
