Does the software write all the items in cart to a session or does it store it in a database.\

I noticed that it does write it to the configSessions table, but does it write it to another table?

It depends..... Whilst the customer is shopping they are stored in a session (only afaik).
Once the order is processed the data is stored in the DB (record of the order).
Another option customers have, if the store owner enables it, it to use a "wish list" in which case this is stored in the DB.

Thanks Hamish.

Do you know which table the cart items get written to when an order number is generated?

Also can you tell me the session variable where the items in cart are stored?

Hi,
The cart session storage is covered on the wiki : http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/developers/cartcontent - http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/developers/cartcontent

The orders are stored in the DB as covered here : http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/developers/ordersaving - http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/developers/ordersaving
