Enhancements
[ZPD-30762/ZLMC-6011] - Checkout Page - Enhancements
Shopper Experience
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 to ‘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 until the checkout page is in one of the tabs in the browser.
