WooCommerce Issue

    Not sure whether this has been reported or not, but when using User Switching with WooCommerce, the shopping cart is maintained across accounts. So, for example, if I login with user A and then add items to the cart, when I switch to User B using the ‘Switch To’ option, User B then has those same items in their cart. Not a big deal once you realize that it is happening, but it can be a bit confusing if you’re not aware of this.

    This isn’t something that user Switching can do anything about. WooCommerce stores its shopping cart information in a cookie which persists when you switch users.

    Hello, we also recognized this behaviour.
    Isn’t it possible to delete this cookie automatically before user switching?

    It is very irritating for the client, when he finds products in the cart he didn’t put in there, when an admin or assistant didn’t delete his cart before switching.

    Unfortunately this isn’t something that I can add support for in User Switching because it means I’d have to maintain it and ensure it continues to work in each new version of WooCommerce.

    The best thing to do would be to submit a feature request to WooCommerce to see if they’ll add support for clearing or updating the cookie as necessary when switching users with User Switching. There are hooks available in the plugin to use.
