Broad leaf commerce cart

Question

I don't see cart model in broad leaf commerce Database model and also in code, order object is used as cart.

I will appreciate if someone from broadleaf commerce help me out to understand that why cart is not there.

Thanks, Vijay

Answer 1

In Broadleaf, a cart is an Order with a status of IN_PROCESS. We do not think of a cart as separate from a real Order; it just represents an Order that has not yet been submitted.

Javadoc for the various statuses of an Order.
