Cart flow

Picture this: A user visits your Sylius shop and exclaims, “Someone’s been using my cart! It’s full of items I didn’t add!” Let’s avoid this surprise by exploring how Sylius handles cart functionality.

In Sylius, the cart represents an order in progress that hasn’t been placed yet.

Each visitor in Sylius has a cart. The cart can be cleared in three ways, by: - placing an order - removing items manually - using a cart-clearing command

The cart flow varies depending on whether the user is logged in and what’s already in the cart.

First scenario:

Given there is a not logged in user
And this user adds a blue T-Shirt to the cart
And there is a customer identified by email "[email protected]"
And the "[email protected]" customer has a previously created cart with a red Cap in it
When the not logged in user logs in using "[email protected]" email
Then the cart created by a not logged in user should be dropped
And the cart previously created by the user identified by "[email protected]" should be set as the current one
And the "[email protected]" customer's cart should have a red Cap in it

Second scenario:

Given there is a not logged in user
And this user adds a blue T-Shirt to the cart
And there is a customer identified by email "[email protected]" with an empty cart
When the not logged in user logs in using "[email protected]" email
Then the cart created by a not logged in user should not be dropped
And the "[email protected]" customer's cart should have a blue T-Shirt in it

Third scenario:

Given there is a customer identified by email "[email protected]" with an empty cart
And this user adds a blue T-Shirt to the cart
When the user logs out
And views the cart
Then the cart should be empty

The cart mentioned in the third scenario will be available once the customer logs in again.
