SetShoppingCart Method

This method is used in run-time event action sets to support the Persistent Shopping Cart and anonymous users adding items to the Shopping Cart.

SetShoppingCart is used in the eSales WebLogin Action Set. This action set is associated with the WebLogin run-time event for the Siebel eSales application object. When a Siebel eSales user logs in, the WebLogin run-time event is triggered. This in turn triggers the eSales Web Login Action Set and executes the SetShoppingCart method.

The method checks if there is already a current quote in the session as indicated by the CurrentQuoteId profile attribute:

  • If this profile attribute is empty, it determines if there is any quote of type Persistent Cart associated with the user. If there is one, it loads that quote and sets the CurrentQuoteId profile attribute to that quote ID.

  • If CurrentQuoteId is already set, it checks if the quote type is Anonymous Quote and converts it to Persistent Cart if it is.
