Concept - Basket Handling and Checkout

Introduction

This document describes the basic concept of the basket (aka shopping cart) handling and the checkout process. It lists the features involved in the checkout process and points to relevant API elements and further documentation.

References

Please also have a look at related concepts and cookbooks:

You will find some API documentation in the Application Programming Guide or other sources on the Knowledge Base.

Architecture Layers and API Elements

The picture below shows the cartridges relevant for basket handling and for the checkout processes. Intershop 7 provides a business layer containing reusable business components, mostly Java classes, pipelets and process pipelines. Based on business components, applications can be built in the application layer.

The order process is a core e-commerce business process that integrates many features like shipping, payment, promotions, etc. The glue code to integrate these features is located in cartridges bc_orderprocess and sld_ch_b2c_app. Most process pipelines and business object extensions are located there.

Basket Handling

Basket Types

Baskets are differentiated according to their lifetimes. This way, currently there are two types of baskets:

  • Session-based basket: Basket is assigned to current user session and only retrievable during this session. Basket is not retrievable any longer and moved to basket history after the session timed out.
  • Time-based basket: Basket is retrievable in the - explicitly - configured inactivity time period. Basket is no longer retrievable and moved to basket history after the configured time period ended.

Basket Lifecycle

During its lifetime a basket is in one of the following states:

  • BASKET_OPEN - Basket is open for every kind of manipulation, such as adding products, warranties and coupons, removing line items. Furthermore, a basket in this state is ready for checkout.
  • BASKET_ORDERED - Checkout of basket has been successfully finished.
  • BASKET_EXPIRED - A basket in the state BASKET_OPEN expires, because:
    • session-based basket - The user session expires.
    • time-based basket - Basket has not been touched/manipulated in the configured time period.
  • BASKET_INVALID - Basket is ready for removal.
  • BASKET_UNSPECIFIED - This state is currently not used but has to be kept for compatibility reasons.

After the basket creation (1) the basket is in the state BASKET_OPEN. The creation is triggered when a customer adds a product to the basket for the first time. When a customer successfully finishes his/her checkout (4), the basket gets the state BASKET_ORDERED. The transition (2) from BASKET_OPEN to BASKET_EXPIRED depends on the basket type. A session-based basket will get this state when the session times out or user logs out. A time-based basket which reaches the configured inactivity time period is moved to the basket history by a background job. As soon as the basket reaches the state BASKET_EXPIRED, it is treated in the same way independent from its type.

Either the basket is marked as removable by changing its state to BASKET_INVALID (5) after a configurable period of time (removed from history and DB) or it is "reactivated" for some reasons (3). The functionality that "reactivates" the basket from the basket history is in charge of removing certain parts of the basket, e.g., payment methods, addresses, item prices, etc.
The transition to BASKET_INVALID is made by a job. It updates the field status only. Another job purges (7) all invalid baskets from the database.

Basket Jobs

Move Outdated Baskets To History

This job moves outdated time-based baskets into the basket history. A basket becomes part of the history ("historic"), when the state changes to BASKET_EXPIRED and the history date is set. Empty baskets are not kept in the history, but removed directly. The job is configured per organization. Since the baskets are still accessible by the repository and in the cache, the job has to be implemented in the Java layer. By doing so, the ORM layer will take care of the cache update.

Accessing the PLIs triggers to load the related objects. But we need to decide to delete directly. How to avoid that?

Preferences:

BasketLifetime

Long

The amount of time that is configured in minutes as the lifetime of a time-based basket.

BasketInHistoryLifetime

current date - basket life time

Previously checked against creation date.

All empty baskets found for the conditions above can be removed directly. For all other baskets, the basket state is set to BASKET_EXPIRED and the history date is filled with the current date. In case of a disabled basket history feature (BasketInHistoryLifetime = 0), the state is changed directly to BASKET_INVALID afterwards.

Invalidate History Baskets

This job cleans up the history from old baskets. A basket stays in the history only for a defined amount of time. As soon as the state changes to BASKET_INVALID, it is no longer part of the history. The job is configured per organization. Since the baskets are still accessible by the repository and possibly in the cache, the job has to be implemented in the Java layer. By doing so, the ORM layer will take care of the cache update.

The state of all baskets found for the conditions above, is set to BASKET_INVALID.

Note

If the preference BasketInHistoryLifetime has the value 0, the baskets will not be kept in the history. In that case the job Invalidate History Baskets will bring the baskets into the state BASKET_INVALID.

Remove Invalid Baskets

This job is defined for SLDSystem and removes all invalid baskets that have exceeded the expiration date for all organizations from the database. The product line items assigned to the baskets qualified for cleanup are removed from the database, too. For performance reasons this should not be done in the Java layer. Since the baskets are invalid and not used anymore, they are not accessible via the repository and are not present in the cache.

Values

Value Description

Comment

1.

Expiration Type

Determines the time-out behavior of shopping carts.
(Type of saving the shopping cart by the system)

One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Time (default)

A time-based shopping cart expires after it is left untouched for a defined amount of time (see Shopping Cart Lifetime below). A user always gets the same shopping cart as in the last session until the shopping cart expires.





One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Session

A session-based shopping cart expires when the user ends the session. A new shopping cart will be created for every session the user starts.


2.

Line Item PositioningSpecifies whether to position line items only initially or to update positions when a line item is removed from the shopping cart.One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)Default: Keep Positions

Line item position is set only upon adding the line item to the shopping cart. If line items are removed from the shopping cart, the positions of the remaining line items are not adjusted.

Example:

Shopping cart containing positions 1,2,3,4,5,6.

State after removing line items 2 and 4: 1,3,5,6.





One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)Adjust Positions

Line item position is set upon adding the line item to the shopping cart. If line items are removed from the shopping cart, the positions of the remaining line items are adjusted to close the gaps between remaining positions.

Example:

Shopping cart containing positions 1,2,3,4,5,6.

State after removing line items 2 and 4: 1,2,3,4.


3.

Shopping Cart Lifetime

Specifies the time (in minutes) during which a time-based shopping cart is kept alive. A shopping cart where the lifetime has not expired is shown as current shopping cart if a registered customer logs on for a new session.

Note

Only available if the expiration type "Time" is selected (amount of time that a shopping cart will be saved by the system).

Mandatory if expiration type "time" is selected

Default: 28,800 minutes



4.

Maximum Number of Line Items

Defines the allowed number of line items inside a shopping cart

Mandatory

Default: 50



5.

Maximum Quantity for one Line Item

Defines the allowed item quantity of a line item inside a shopping cart

Mandatory

Default: 100



6.Minimum Item TotalDefines the minimum item total for a currencyOptionalIf there is no value defined, the minimum shopping cart value is 0.The Minimum Item Total (MinIT) is independent of the taxation settings. So, if the taxation setting is gross, the MinIT refers to the Shopping Cart Subtotal including the taxes. If the taxation setting is net, the MinIT refers to the Shopping Cart Subtotal without taxes.

The base for the Minimum Item Total (MinIT) is the sum of all line item totals minus item-based discounts (= subtotal of the shopping cart). This means that only the product prices will be considered. Additional down-streamed costs like shipping, surcharges, gifting or payment costs are not a part of the MinIT. So, a customer has to add more products to the cart which is under the MinIT even if the additional costs cause a higher Total Cart Value than the MinIT.

Example:
The MinIT is defined with $ 10.
The customer adds a product with a price of $ 9 to his cart.
This product causes $ 3 shipping costs.
= The customer is not able to place the order although the cart total ($ 9 + $3) is higher than the MinIT

7.

Maximum Item Total

Defines the maximum item total for a currency

Optional

If there is no value defined, the maximum shopping cart value is unlimited.

The Maximum Item Total (MaxIT) is independent of the taxation settings. So, if the taxation setting is gross, the MaxIT is the Shopping Cart Subtotal including the taxes. If the taxation setting is net, the MaxIT is the Shopping Cart Subtotal without taxes.

The base for the Maximum Item Total is the sum of all line item totals minus item-based discounts (= subtotal of the shopping cart). This means that only the product prices will be considered. Additional down-streamed costs like shipping, surcharges, gifting or payment costs are not a part of the MaxIT. So, a customer is able to add a product to the cart which is under the MaxIT although the additional costs cause a higher Total Cart Value than the MaxIT.

Example:
The MaxIT is defined with $ 1,000.
The customer adds a product with a price of $ 995 to his cart.
This product causes $ 10 shipping costs.
= The customer is able to place the order although the cart total is higher than the MaxIT.

8.

Display Taxes

Defines how the taxes will be displayed in the shopping cart and during the checkout (e.g., summarized or separated) This option is independent of the taxation preference of the channel.

One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

No taxes are displayed






One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Consolidated Taxes (default)

Taxes will be displayed in a summary.





One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Breakdown Taxes

Taxes will be displayed broken down by the tax class.





One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Consolidated Taxes and Consolidated Fees

Taxes and Fees will be displayed in a summary.
(This will show VAT on the order review page as "Total Order VAT" below the order total so that customers know that it is a different amount from the order total.)





One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Breakdown Taxes and Breakdown Fees

Taxes and fees will be displayed broken down by the tax class and the fee type.


9.

Tax Service Unavailable

Defines the checkout behavior if a taxation service was connected and if this service was currently not available.

One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Stop Checkout Processing (default)

The customer cannot continue his/her checkout and cannot place an order.





One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Continue the Checkout Process

The customer can continue the checkout and can place an order. He/She gets a specific message that he/she will get the correctly calculated taxes via e-mail/order confirmation mail.


10.

Add Product Behavior

Defines the behavior if a customer adds a product again which he/she has still added to the shopping cart

One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Disallow Repeats

It is not possible to add the same product to the shopping cart twice.
(Customers cannot add a product to the shopping cart he/she has already added. They can only change the quantity.)

It is not supported to add the same product (equal SKU) with different packaging units since that could cause problems in return management, inventory etc.





One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Merge Quantities (default)

If a product is added to the shopping cart which the shopping cart already contains, the quantity is recalculated but the line item is listed only once.
(The same products will be summarized to one line item.)




One value mandatory (e.g., by drop down)

Allow Repeats

It is possible to add the same product to the shopping cart more than once.
(The same products will be one line item for itself.)
