aleron75/unmergedcart

Magento module which prevents merging customer saved quote with session quote

UnmergedCart

Facts

Version: 1.1.0 Developed and tested on Magento CE v 1.9.2.0

Introduction

This module adds an observer to the sales_quote_merge_before event to change the way the saved customer quote is merged with current session quote.

To configure the desired behaviour change the value in System > Configuration > SALES > Checkout > Shopping Cart > Merge cart upon log in; you can choose between:

• Yes: default behavior - the module doesn't change the Magento default behavior that is merging session and customer cart after log in
• No: use session cart - customer saved cart items are discarded, only items in session cart are maintained after log in
• No: use customer cart - session cart items are discarded, only items in customer cart are maintained after log in
