The preference for the shopping cart folder is URL-relative, so if you set the preference to ShoppingCarts/ (which is the default), then it looks for a folder called ShoppingCarts in the same folder as the invoice template.If you REALLY want a single folder for all of your stores, then set the preference to something like /ShoppingCarts/ and make a folder at the root of WebSTAR called ShoppingCarts. No quotes of course.WebCatalog guarantees that all cart ids are unique...it also 'sweeps' inactive carts out after 24 hours of inactivity.NOTE: You really shouldn't be caring too much about the shoppingcarts folder anyway -- those are just temporary files filled with lookie-loo carts from people who haven't bought anything yet. The Orders folder is the important one, because it contains all the orders that people actually pushed Purchase on.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
