- The operators are able to list and count guest carts
- The customers/employees are able to delete their own carts

¶ Store
The store will support multiple carts, requiring this changes:
- Replace the usages of the service
GET /carts/minewith the listing serviceGET /carts. - The logic for the cart selection would be to choose the cart of the most recent update date-time, created by the current user.
- For logged in users (customer and employees), there will be a new screen under My Account section with a grid of the own active carts (it will use the listing services
GET /cartsandGET /carts/count). - The carts listed in My Account will be able to be deleted.
- The carts listed in My Account will be able to be updated so the user can select one of them can use for the current checkout process.
¶ POS
The POS will support multiple carts, requiring this changes:
- Use the listing services
GET /cartsandGET /carts/countto retrieve active carts filtering with the selected customer and creator. - In case of having multiple active carts created by the current user for the same customer, the operator would be able to choose with cart will be working on.
¶ API
The backend requires several changes to implement the multi-cart feature:
- Update current
GET /carts/mineto return the last updated active cart for current user. Mark the service as deprecated, so clients know that it will be removed soon. - Remove current logic of automatic de-activation of carts on creation: When a new cart is created, previously created carts for the same user will no be de-activated automatically any more.
- Create listing carts services for guests, customers and employees:
GET /cartsandGET /carts/count. The services will return and count the active carts owned by the calling user. For operators, these services are already available and will continue returning and counting all carts for all owners. - Create a service to delete carts with this specification:
- Signature:
DELETE /carts/{cartId} - Only active carts can be deleted.
- Operators are able to delete any (active) cart.
- Guest users are able to delete only own (active) carts.
- Customers are able to delete only own (active) carts.
- Employees are able to delete only own (active) carts.
- Signature:
- Remove service
GET /carts/minewhen there are no more clients using it. - Create admin sidebar menu item to access Guest Carts grid.
