Clean Up Old Shopping Carts
Using the Clean up old shopping carts scheduled task, you can remove the shopping carts that have been stored for a long time. For example, the customer added several items to the shopping cart but didn't complete the order. Keeping old shopping carts leads to the accumulation of unnecessary data.
If you need to keep the shopping carts for an extended period of time due to the way the business processes in your company are set up, you must properly configure how long the shopping carts should be kept or not remove the old shopping carts at all. Also, if you are using Sana Commerce Insights, keep in mind that if you delete the shopping carts, you will lose data associated with the shopping carts, especially the data on the Abandoned Baskets page.
