A more flexible way to define the maximum lifetime of the cart

Until now, the maximum lifetime of a cart could only be defined at sales channel level. This new feature provides you the possibility to override this default value at product level, meaning that you can let your internet users more time to buy a season ticket for example.

Solution

As before, the lifetime of the cart is defined by the order expiry delay and the order maximum lifespan

Order expiry delay

The expiry delay is reset each time an item is added to the cart.

Order maximum lifespan

The order maximum lifespan is never reset. Independently of the changes brought to the cart, the order will be abandoned when the order maximum lifespan is reached.

Setting at sales channel level

The setting at sales channel level hasn't been changed

As before, the minimum allowed duration for both parameters is 5 minutes.

You can define for each cross-selling profile using an event as the base product if the target products should be displayed when that event is bought inside a season ticket.

If the internet user selects an event for his season ticket for which there exists a cross-selling definition with the above parameter enabled, the corresponding target products will be proposed.

Example:

Imagine that you want to propose a book about the Traviata only to the internet users having selected the Traviata within the season ticket. You just have to create a cross-selling and enable the parameter mentioned above.

When the internet user selects the Traviata inside the season ticket, the Ticket Shop will display the cross-selling products related to the season ticket itself (first part below) and the cross-selling products related to the products selected inside the season ticket (second part below).

Of course, the book about the Traviata will also be displayed if the internet user buys the Traviata performance as a stand alone product.
