Regards Chris")* Hi, Normally, when the user is logged in his cart is saved in the database. When he comes back on the website, his latest cart is loaded. So indeed, your users should had his last cart loaded when he logged in again, if he didn't add something into his cart while being logged out in the mean time (because that cart would supercedes his last cart).

Regards Chris")* It depends how you made your store but you can restrict menus and modules to only registered users in joomla. That way, you could hide the shop from your non logged in users. For example, if you have a "shop" menu that your users use actually to access your store: set that menu to only registered users. cerate a new shop menu and set it to display only to guest users and make it of type joomla article and link it to a joomla article which will explain to the user that he needs first to login/create an account before he can access the shop.

Regards Chris")* Then you could use the option "stay and display a notice popup" for the option "When a product is added to the cart" in the config under the tab display. You can edit the message displayed in that popup in the config under the tab languages by overriding the translation of the message of the notice popup: [ www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify](http://www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzY3MzAtc2F2ZS1jYXJ0P3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[chris711](/forum/user/371-chris711 "View chris711's Profile")** - [![chris711's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/371-chris711 "View chris711's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/371-chris711) Less More - Posts: 96 - Thank you received: 4 - - 15 years 8 months ago [\#6801](#6801) by [chris711](/forum/user/371-chris711 "View chris711's Profile") Replied by *[chris711](/forum/user/371-chris711 "View chris711's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Save Cart](/forum/4-how-to/6730-save-cart#6801 "Hi Nicolas, Is it possible for a customer to save his cart contents to come back to at a later time - maybe several days later?

Is there a way to make the appearance of the pop up conditional, so that it is only seen the first time someone puts an item in the cart, and does not appear after that?

Regards Chris")* There is no such option directly in hikashop. However, hikashop allows you to override the popup functionality in your template. If you know well PHP, you could look at the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/cart.php where the add to cart is handled... You can create a file hikashop_button.php in your template's html folder and then define override functions in order to customize the behaviour of the popup notice.
