Recalculate Cart - Consider expanding the rules

If a price is changed for a product, existing carts do not get updated. Same with warehouse changes, etc.
I believe the cart manager would be greatly enhanced if logic was introduced to verify each product in the cart when Basket.aspx runs ... that is, obtain the current price for each product/variation in the cart and recalculate before displaying the cart to the customer. The current method displays what is in the cart without regard to whether the cart is "current".

Maybe have it check when you click checkout, it confirms all prices.

I thought it already did that because of some earlier bug fixes?

Hello Judy,
I just tested and it doesn't change the items in the basket, it does moving between wishlist>basket. So that's likely what your thinking about.
We cannot change the items in the basket since the customer 'bought' it based on a certain assumption. I think what would be best is to remove the item from the basket and alert the customer.

I'd vote for that but give the store an option to "not" notify the customer. I think that would just be setting an email template. The customer may or may not come back, may not remember what was in the basket, and can certainly find it again in the product list.
