I looked through the code and found that in the apps\storefront\src\pages\Login\index.tsx file, in line 131, there's a block of code that runs a deleteCart function when the user logs out.

I am working on a customized buyer portal. For my project we do want the persisted cart to work. Would it cause issues to remove that code that deletes the cart at logout?

@cjsanchezBW The carts are deleted by default because I'm afraid you'll still lose the cart after 1 re-login. This is a known issue within the BCs storefront APIs that is currently in the feature request status. Closing since this is just not supported yet

@bc-victor What do you mean by: "The carts are deleted by default because I'm afraid you'll still lose the cart after 1 re-login."

I tested removing the code that deletes the cart and I was able to logout and back in and keep my cart's contents without issues.

apps\storefront\src\pages\Login\index.tsx file, in line 131

@cjsanchezBW according to our research, these carts will be lost between authentication processes. If your findings are persistent throughout your development please let us know so I can file this behaviour

@cjsanchezBW if i remove code await deleteCart(deleteQuery); on same browser it is working fine But let's example , i m doing logout and then open incognito window and login with same user, it should be preserve same cart but does not doing that.
