Ubercart Cart Login Flow

Background

Ubercart is an ecommerce solution based on Drupal.

The default Ubercart cart behavior is merging the anonymous cart and the existing user cart once the user logs in.

This can be confusing for users because their cart could have some products added long ago, and when they log in, the old existing cart and the new anonymous cart are merged.

Description

This module provides different behaviors, depending on the source of the user when logs in:

Default settings:

• If the users log in while at the checkout page, the old existing cart is discarded, and the new cart that has been created while the user is anonymous will be checked out.
• If the users log in other cases, we discard the anonymous cart and recover the previously existing cart that was associated with this user.

There is also a setting for always overriding the already existing cart if the user added anything while being anonymous.

Dependencies

• Ubercart.
  • uc_cart must be enabled.

Installation

Download the module and enable it. The installation takes care of setting the weight of the module to a lower value than uc_cart has, but if you manually edit the weights, please take this into account.
