Anonymous checkout stores previous customer's field data - Fixed 
Modified By AliCommerce  on 8/29/2008 12:09:05 AM)

I can't remember where to set this, but how can I get the shopping cart to not remember field data?

We're set up to allow anonymous checkout, but not create an account for anonymous users. Each customer shouldn't see the previous customer's address & phone, but they are pre-populated. Shop is at https://www.uspa.org/USPAShop/tabid/353/Default.aspx

Thanks for any help.

When a shopper browses your store, a cookie will be save to his computer. The cookie is used to track his shopping cart. If a second shopper log on to the same computer some time later using the first shopper's account, the first shopper's cookie will be used. That's why he will see the first shopper's cart content.

In the real world, this is not a problem. Shoppers browse your store from there own computers. Even if two shoppers visit your site from the same computer, as long as they use the different accounts, they won't see each other's shopping cart.

Actually it is a large problem. The problem isn't that people are seeing other people's cart contents (they aren't) - they are seeing the other person's name, address and phone number on the first page of the checkout, without either person ever having been logged in. No one has user accounts on our site. We are using anonymous checkout.

This is not two people on the same computer, either. This is different people on different computers around the world, none of whom have user accounts - which means they cannot be logged in.

Frank,

Are you recommending this hotfix as something we should all be installing? I can't see it on the downloads page.

The hot fix is only needed when you have the following two settings at Settings > Order:
 
Allow Anonymous Checkout:
Create User Account For Anonymous Shoppers:

This has been fixed in alicommerce 2.0.5, so the hot fix you mentioned is not needed any more.
