How it works

When a new session is started on the web site one of the following happens:
- If a cookie was submitted with a CartID that has a status of 0 then that shopping cart is assigned to the current session
- Otherwise, a corresponding shopping cart is created with a status of 0 (New Cart) and the CartID is added to the broswers cookies
When a new order is placed the following happens:
- The cart status is set to 13 (Finalized Begun But Not Complete)
- A new sales order is created that matches the shopping cart
- The cart status is set to 1 (Finalized)
