CartKeeper module - storage and management of carts for Opencart

Cart Keeper - a module for storing and managing customer carts

Eliminates the problem of disappearing products/cleaning the baskets of non-registered customers and allows you to store guest baskets on par with the baskets of registered buyers, with the ability to view and manage existing baskets.

Also adds the functionality of Share Cart (Shared Carts) , which makes it possible to share the contents of the cart with anyone by simply sending a link to it.
The module consists of three parts, the main part (settings) changes the mechanism of storing and working with customer baskets, the additional ones add lists of current customer baskets and shared baskets to the administrative part, with the possibility of searching/filtering and their group processing.

Basket:
- saving baskets of guests/not logged in users
- shows products in the cart regardless of whether the user is logged in or not
- if you add goods to the basket under login and log out - the contents of the basket will still be shown
- does not depend on sessions and their storage terms
- cookies are used for user identification
- the possibility of using a private key for additional identification to avoid cookie forgery and access to other people's baskets

Basket list:
- View the list of current users' baskets (including unregistered ones) and their products
- filtering and searching baskets with the possibility of sorting
to the client's name/surname or part thereof
by cart ID
by user status (guest/registered)
by the number of products in the basket (when entered, it shows baskets with an equal or greater number of products)
by the date of adding to the basket, including for a certain period (start-end)
by additional information about clients (ip, user_agent)
for reports of abandoned baskets and their mailing dates

- cloning baskets
the contents of the cloned cart are added to the current shopping cart

- the possibility of changing the owner of the basket
if the selected user already has a basket - they are combined

- sending letters to registered customers about abandoned baskets

- possibility to delete selected baskets or update their storage period

- Link to go to viewing / editing data of the registered buyer
- Link to go to view / edit products from shopping carts

- if the product in the cart is disabled or deleted in the database - such a product will be highlighted in the list of carts and its product_id will be indicated (such products will be automatically removed from the buyer's cart on his next visit)
- if a previously registered buyer has been deleted from the database and there are products left in his basket - he will be shown as a guest in the list of baskets

Layered baskets:
- the possibility to share the contents of the basket via a link (including a QR code)
when following such a link, the same set of products will be added to the cart, which was at the time of its creation

- a separate list for viewing and managing shared baskets
