Hey all. I have modified the bookstore example and would like to implement something where the user doesn't have to "login" in order to add items to thier shopping cart. Anyone know how to do this easily? So when the user comes to my site they can add items to thier shopping cart and not have to login. Thanks again.

I don't code ASP but here's an idea. Write the items to a temporary table with the session id being the key. When the user is ready to checkout, you copy from the temporary table into the actual orders table.

That's what I've done but perhaps someone else might have a better idea.

Hope that helps.

I do the same but use a timestamp put in session as the identifier. After payment has been confirmed through Paypals IPN system the order is transported to the permanent table. I get the customers info like name, adress etc from paypals IPN so the customer does not have to fill out their personal info twice.
