websites timing out cart

Post by shadybanks » Sat Jul 02, 2022 6:10 pm

Is there a way to keep websites from timing out and losing the contents of your cart?

I spent half the morning shopping and filling a cart and went and took a shower and now everything is gone. I guess I should write things down as I add them or take pics of the cart every now and then. This happens with several JDM sites.

It has saved me some money, but it is frustrating. BTW the exchange rate is still pretty good right now.

Are you logging into the site or using the visitor feature. normally when you log into a site it remembers the contents of your cart and you can browse and add or take from the cart at your leisure until ready to check out.

With some shops, when you‘re looking at the cart and save that to a .html file on your mac the items are included and anyone you send that link-file to can dive right into your cart. You can test it by opening that file with a different browser.

Or you go for tab-madness and open all the items you you’re interested in in a new tab :D

There are some sites that don't do well with cookies and remembering you're cart.

For the sites that don't, I open a new Notepad file and go Cut and Paste. When I'm finally done shopping, it becomes a tedious cut and paste exercise on my web browser.

Best it has been in about a few decades. Dollar strength vis-a-vi other currencies is great.
