If you're concerned about people hitting just any old URL on your site, then you should consider using [ipaddress] or cookies (not available yet in WC2) as the shopping cart id.Shopping sites are special in that they must maintain state information (cart ids), and as such you have to be careful as to where people start their shopping process. Typically this takes care of itself, because if someone bookmarks a page in the middle of their shopping process, the bookmark contains the cart id, and will actually remain viable for 24 hours. After that, the cart becomes empty.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
