I can't speak specifically for Vendr, but we use a scheduled job to check for open baskets that have been sat around for more than X hours.

Hey Ian,

The simplest option could be to change the default cookie timeout (which is set for 1 year). If you set this to 360 it will mean the cart cookie expires after 6 hours of inactivity.

It would mean the order isn't removed though, it just looses it's link with the current session so a new one would be created.

If you wanted more control over this, then Huw's suggestion would be an altrnative route, setting up a background task and checking to see how long an order has been inactive for and if it exeeds your time limit, remove all items from the cart.

Hi Matt, thanks for that.

For the scheduled task, I was thinking of something like this:

public class ClearBasketsTask : IClearBasketsTask
{
    private readonly IVendrApi _vendrApi;
    private readonly ISessionManager _sessionManager;
    private readonly IConfiguration _configuration;

    public ClearBasketsTask(
        ISessionManager sessionManager,
        IVendrApi vendrApi,
        IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        _sessionManager = sessionManager;
        _vendrApi = vendrApi;
        _configuration = configuration;
    }

    public void ClearBaskets()
    {
        int vendrBasketExpiryTimeHours = _configuration.GetValue<int>("AppSettings:VendrBasketExpiryTimeHours");
        foreach (var store in _vendrApi.GetStores())
        {
            var order = _sessionManager.GetCurrentOrder(store.Id);
            if (order != null)
            {
                if (order.CreateDate < DateTime.Now.AddHours(-vendrBasketExpiryTimeHours))
                {
                    _sessionManager.ClearCurrentOrder(store.Id);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

does that look correct, have i used the correct session manager methods?

So something like this:

public void ClearBaskets()
    {
        int vendrBasketExpiryTimeHours = _configuration.GetValue<int>("AppSettings:VendrBasketExpiryTimeHours");
        var orders = _vendrApi.SearchOrders(o => o.CreatedBefore(DateTime.Now.AddHours(-vendrBasketExpiryTimeHours)), 1, int.MaxValue);
        if (orders != null && orders.Items.Any())
        {
            foreach (var item in orders.Items.Where(i => !i.IsFinalized))
            {
                _unitOfWorkProvider.Execute(uow =>
                {
                    // Convert the order into it's Writable form
                    var order = item.AsWritable(uow);

                    // Peform our write operation
                    foreach (var orderLine in order.OrderLines)
                    {
                        order.WithOrderLine(orderLine.Id).SetQuantity(0);
                    }

                    // Persist the changes to the database
                    _orderService.SaveOrder(order);

                    //_orderService.DeleteOrder(order);

                    // Close our transaction
                    uow.Complete();
                });
            }
        }
    }

should I reset the quantity to 0 for each orderline, or just delete the entire order?

is working on a reply...
