[ZPD-29696/ZPD-30585/ZPD-30706/ZPD-30621/ZPD-26995/ZPD-30469/ZPD-31132/ZPD-31130/ZPD-30446/ZPD-31042/ZPD-30562/ZPD-27754ZLMC-6209/ZLMC-6210/ZLMC-5842/ZLMC-5067/ZLMC-5611/ZLMC-5913/ZLMC-5879/ZLMC-5997/ZLMC-5815/ZLMC-6170/ZLMC-5875] - Products with Addons Behavior in Cart and Saved Cart - Enhancements

Shopper Experience

• Earlier, product details on the Cart page were not displayed correctly when a shopper attempted to add a product (to the cart) with the same SKUs selected in multiple add-on groups. Also, an issue was observed when the same product was added to the Cart/Saved Cart with different add-ons.

• In this release, enhancements have been made to display the names of add-on groups and add-ons selected for the product added to the cart.

• The following scenarios have been taken care of:

  • Move items to Saved Cart from Cart.

  • Edit items and their quantities in the Saved Cart and then Save.

  • Transfer items to the Cart from the Saved Cart.

  • Reorder items (which are added to the Cart)

• Issues related to the Saved Cart name and product/addon names were also fixed.

    Important Points:

• Convert Quote to Order and Reorder has not been considered in this release.

• The quantity of the product will not merge in the Saved Cart if the product with the same addons is added to the Saved Cart.

[ZPD-30758/ZPD-31116/ZPD-30254/ZLMC-6007/ZLMC-6157/ZLMC-5755] - Checkout Page - Enhancements

Webstore

• On the checkout page, the session for the user will stay active regardless of the session timeout value.

• Keeping the user session on the checkout page active will be controlled through a flag in the web config file.

• To activate this feature, the value for the flag should be set as ‘TRUE’. The default value of this flag would be set to ‘FALSE’ in the config file

    Important Points:

• If on a specific browser, a user is logged in, goes on to the checkout page, and on the other tabs opens up the home page to browse some other stuff on the webstore. 

  • Now, the user does not perform any activity on the homepage tab so in this case, the session will never expire for the user as the user session will be active till the time the checkout page is there in one of the tabs in the browser.

[ZPD-29211/ZLMC-5540] - Vertex Tax Implementation - B Stores
