Basket

Baskets are stored in the database and identified by:

• session ID (if the user is not logged in)
• user ID (if the user is logged in)

A basket can be of one of the following types:

• basket
• quickOrder
• storedBasket
• wishList

A standard basket (type basket) can have different states during the checkout process. After the order is sent, the basket is assigned the state ordered.

Data validation, such as for the minimum order amount, only happens when adding products to the shopping basket, not to wishlist, or stored basket.

Basket structure

Apart from the identifying information, the basket data model contains the following elements:

• additional fields (dataMap Field)
• basket lines with information for each row of the basket
• information about basket parties (buyer, invoice and delivery)
• additional costs (such as shipping, packaging, discounts etc.)
