Allow temporary users for shopping carts without registering until they're about to pay for the order

Hi friends am very beginner for Flask and as well as python3 .Any one elaborate the work flow of this process

As a starting point, you can look at https://github.com/lingthio/Flask-User-starter-app.

What do you mean by anonymous user? Can you tell us more about your question/request?

Dude Actually am already did the flask-login

My app implements a shopping cart in which anonymous users can fill their cart with products. User Login is required only before payment. How can this be implemented?

The additional info is helpful, but the required implementation is complex:

• You're looking to create many temporary users to be able to tie the cart to these temporary users.
• You'll need a way differentiate between a registered user and a temporary one by adding a boolean to the user table
• You'll need to store the user ID in the browser as a cookie, so that you can differentiate between a new temporary user and a returning one.
• You want the temporary users to register before a payment.
• I assume you want to use user emails to send order confirmation and stuff. This means that the user will have to verify their user account, while the app still remembers the user ID.
• You need a way to clean up temporary users that never register and are inactive for a certain period of time.

Flask-User does not offer any of this functionality, so you'll have to add extensive customization which is beyond the scope of my support.

Let's see if other Flask-User users have anything to say about this.
