Is there a way to keep cart contents after customers close browser?

Hello,
Is this possible even if they are not log in? Would be nice if customer went back to site after closing browser and still had things that they added to cart.

Your suggestion does not make any sense, I'm afraid...

Unless the system KNOWS who's visiting, it can't save information on their behalf.

If you telephone your local supermarket and ask them to put aside a product... what's the first thing they ask?

"Can I have your name, sir... can I have your telephone number, sir... ?"

They like to IDENTIFY who they are dealing with.

If you are thinking of setting cookies, perhaps... (as indicated in Pinder's mod) bear in mind that laws are being introduced to ban the setting of such cookies on people's computers.

Hello,
Thank you for the replies guys. Pinders mod is exactly what I'm talking about and thank you for the heads up schoolboy.
