    Add filter to Delete Baskets function

    It would be nice to be able to delete only empty, expired baskets and leave those with items in them - particularly those that started the checkout process and contain email address.

    Search engine spiders create tens of thousand of phantom baskets on our sites every day, which makes it very cumbersome to sift through them with the "Show Basket" module in order to find abandoned carts with email addresses from starting (but not finishing) the checkout process.

    Our goal is to send re-marketing emails with a coupon to some of them. This has been very successful for us in the past, but now it takes a very long time to scroll through the thousands of phantom baskets to find carts with checkout info.

    We can't use one of the re-marketing modules because many of our regular customers visit our site several times (creating baskets) before placing their order. Many others print out their basket and call in their order.

    I use Lost and Found Orders: http://apps.miva.com/product/WCW-LOSTFND5.html

    It is also great to see which items are causing cart abandonment and determine which page they quite on (from basket:charges that may appear). I then try to see if my price or shipping charges are too high.

      Does it have a filter that only shows baskets with something in them or does it show all baskets that have been created including the thousands of phantom baskets?

        There is no filter per se but the Lost & Found module does not show the phantom baskets. (I have the Show Baskets module as well so I know what you mean.)

        It does sometimes show lost baskets without items because the user may have removed the items before abandoning.

          Thanks for the suggestion. I will give that a try.
