About the Extension

Cleanup Non-Customer Carts

Every visitor leaves a trace - but not every cart is worth keeping.

Maximize shop performance by removing non-customer carts

Boost your shop's performance and reduce database clutter by automatically deleting carts that are not linked to customer accounts. These carts are never recovered and only consume valuable resources.

Automatically clean up dead data after a defined period

Over time, Shopware installations can accumulate thousands of carts created by anonymous visitors or bots - linked only to session cookies or short-lived cookies (typically 1–7 days). Since these sessions often expire quickly - either when the browser is closed or after a short period - the associated carts become dead data that will never lead to an order.

This plugin automatically removes such non-customer carts after a configurable retention period, reducing database size and improving cart performance.

By default, Shopware deletes all carts (including those from registered customers) after a set number of days (shopware.cart.expire_days defaulting to 120). This plugin gives you finer control by targeting only non-customer carts and removing them earlier - without impacting customer recovery functionality of carts.

Fully configurable and automated cleanup

You can set the retention period directly in the plugin settings within the admin interface - or simply use the default value (7 days). It's a simple, effective way to keep your system lean and responsive.

Compatibility Notice

This plugin is only compatible when carts are stored in the database. If your Shopware installation uses Redis or another cart storage backend, the plugin will not be able to remove carts.

Free Trial Version

How are shopping carts cleaned up?

The cleanup and optimization of the shopping cart table is done automatically via a "ScheduledTask". If the task is executed at a time of high load in the shop, it is recommended to postpone the execution time to a quieter phase via the database or with the help of `FroshTools`.

Are shopping carts of registered customers also deleted?

No. The plugin exclusively deletes shopping carts that are not assigned to a customer account. Shopping carts of registered customers are kept and are still restored upon login.

What happens to the database after deletion?

After removing the outdated shopping carts, an `OPTIMIZE TABLE` is automatically applied to the shopping cart table to free up fragmented memory space and improve database performance.

Can I set the retention period individually?

Yes. The number of days after which guest shopping carts are deleted can be easily configured in the plugin settings in the Admin area.

How often is the cleanup performed?

The cleanup is performed automatically once a day via a "ScheduledTask". The exact time depends on the configuration of the "ScheduledTask".

Is the plugin compatible with Cart Backends like Redis?

No. The plugin only works if Shopware stores the shopping carts in the database. When using Redis or other storage mechanisms, the plugin does not apply.

Can the plugin also be executed manually?

Yes. The Scheduled Task can be executed manually via the Shopware console or corresponding `FroshTools`.
