Save cart contents and/or contact customer to remind them.
« on: January 12, 2006, 17:28:57 pm »
One feature that I liked from other carts I've used in the past was the ability to store the contents of their cart. For instance, if someone adds 'Product A' and then logs out of the system, the same product would still be loaded if they didn't log back in until 6 months (or any period of time) later.

In conjunction with that, I think it would be great if you had the ability to then view their cart and send them an email reminder that it's waiting to be purchased. If the customer was on your site, registered for an account, loaded a product, chances are they want (or wanted) it. Why not send them an email reminder saying something along the lines of:

Quote
