Enable Temporary Baskets for Immediate Order Requests

You can now create temporary baskets for immediate order requests in B2C Commerce. For example, a shopper uses a Buy Now option to purchase an item. The temporary basket, which has a limited lifetime of 15 minutes, is populated with all the data required to ready the basket for checkout without affecting the regular shopper basket.

How: Use the basket script API to enable temporary baskets. The supported basket functions include pricing, promotions, coupons, inventory, shipping methods, order creation, and reopening an order.

The temporary basket differs from a shopper basket in the following ways:

• Basket lifetime is limited compared to shopper baskets

  A temporary lifetime of 15 minutes is used for basket retention

• Limit is separate from shopper and agent basket limits. The shopper can have up to 4 temporary baskets
• Available to all shoppers including guests (unlike agent baskets)
