force cart to empty

Hi,

Is there a way I can force a customer logout or a force a cart to empty after a specific time period?

Thanks,
Ben

bump for an answer.

1. To log them out after a specific time period set the timeout property for forms authentication in web.config:

    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name="NOPCOMMERCE.AUTH" loginUrl="~/login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="43200" path="/" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="true" defaultUrl="~/default.aspx" enableCrossAppRedirects="false"/>
    </authentication>

See here

2. There is a task that deletes expired customer carts - reduce the deleteExpiredShoppingCartsOlderThanMinutes time (in web.config):

        <task name="DeleteExpiredShoppingCarts" type="NopSolutions.NopCommerce.BusinessLogic.Orders.DeleteExpiredShoppingCartsTask, Nop.BusinessLogic" enabled="true" stopOnError="false" deleteExpiredShoppingCartsOlderThanMinutes="259200"/>

HTH

A belated thank you for that. And is there way to force the cart to empty when a user closes their browser?

Thanks,
Ben

That may not be a good strategy if your goal is to sell products. When a user returns to your website, having items still in their shopping cart may be a good feature to have. It can benefit the customer by remembering what they were interested in their earlier visits.

I agree, but I'm responding to a client request.
