Store cart details in DB

Hi, I have read the getting started guide & read the forum here but cant get the "Store cart details in DB" behaviour to work. I can get the store summary in DB to work but it seems to only store 1 row or limited details. I also applied both but couldn't see the new session from the summary in the bindings when doing Store cart details in DB, & only the summary received the 1 row of data. I have also tried the checkout wizard, that didn't insert cart detail data either. My cart is just an email receipt & the payment is done manually so don't really need the gateway in the wizard.

Could someone help, could it be because I'm putting it on the checkout page & not the confirm orders page? .

Thanks Chris

The Store cart summary behavior is only supposed to create one record. The summary should contain information about the person who placed the order and where it is to be shipped.

The store cart details server behavior will store a record in the order details table for each line item in the cart.

Sometimes the session form the Store Cart summary behavior will not populate in the bindings panel, if it is missing, you can add it manually. copy the session name form the save as option in the Store Cart Summary, then go to the bindings panel. Click the Plus button and select Session Variable, then paste the name to create the binding.

If the Summary is being stored in the database, but the details are not, the most likely problem is that a redirect has been set in the Store Cart summary behavior. Do not set a redirect in the Store cart summary behavior so that the code can progreess to the store cart details.


If you are still having problems, please send a copy of the page so I can examine the code to see what is wrong.

Hi Jason, I have done what you suggested & it worked. I deleted the redirect in the summary then manually created the session & bound it in the store details, now both the summary & the details tables are full of the correct data including all the items in the cart. Hopefully this is all I need & I can now move to emailing the table as a receipt.

Thanks once again for the help. Chris

Excellent, glad to hear it is working.
