[Catalyst] how to do persistent session data (aka shopping cart) in catalyst?

[Hector Azpurua]

Hi Fernan,

The I did for a small/medium size enterprise it was:

   - Cart data is stored at DB level, so the information can be replicated
   among all devices and browsers sessions.
   - If an Anonymous user has cart data and then log in, then merge
   previous stored cart with the new cart (business rules apply here).

It wasn't difficult to implement using the already available catalyst
plugins and, if needed, JSON serialization.

Good luck!
