Active Carts

Dear Brick OWL friends

Would it be possible to know what Active Carts on the My Store Page is containing?

The ides is to anticipate an order and eventually prepack it.

Looking forward hearing from you.

Malnaborg

Sadly no. This has been requested many times, but until now, not possible.

Active carts are people browsing your store with items in their basket (think people walking around a supermarket). They can then go on to purchase, or 'put things back on the shelf'. Just as no-one in a supermarket follows you around to work out what you're buying you can't do it here either. It's an idea of busy-ness, really.

@brickos...Pre-packing an order that has not been paid for is never a good idea. I'm going to make up a number and say at least 75% of carts never make it to an order.

Thanks @Malnaborg @Jay37 and @Papa Pearson for your feedback, just was interested in Know what they are looking for.

I think the main reason you cannot view carts is because of those few not-so-good sellers who would use that information to increase the prices for the parts before the buyer purchased them.

That might be an issues in deed @tons_of_bricks but my request was more anticipating a possible order. I’m not selling part, just sets, but I see the challenges of such feature.

@brickos on the plus side, we can see the popular searches in our store - I have found that super helpful to prioritize my data entry.

@Calibrick What if the searches come from what you add?!?

Calibrick

@leopard37, I'm not sure I understand what you mean (mea culpa)... do you mean how it is helpful if the content adds are bringing in new people to search? If so, that's still a win...?

Chicken or egg argument.

@leopard37 either way it's all eyeballs/foot traffic through your store. Chicken, delicious. Egg, also delicious.

Calibrick

@Brandish_Jaye best chicken/egg response I've seen, I have to remember that one (that both are delicious!).
