How to Clear the Shopping Cart Session Variable

Coreysan 1,651

I'm learning to build a store in MVC Core 3.1, and everything works so far.

The Checkout button calls the CheckoutController Index method, where a javascript calls Paypal and finishes up the purchase.

However, I totally forgot to clear the shopping cart when the purchase is complete.

So far, it all ends when the Index view method is called, and that's it. So how do I put a line inside the view to clear the Shopping Cart,
or redirect maybe somewhere to do the work?

Hi @Coreysan ,

Could you please tell us how you add the Shopping Cart and where you want to remove the shopping cart? If you just want to know how to remove the session, I suggest you could use this code HttpContext.Session.Remove("Name");.

Moderator - I tried to use "Comment" instead of "Answer", but the submit button didn't respond.
I'm not sure how to comment on questions when it's not an answer.

Hi @Coreysan ,

Could you please tell me if the Smart Buttons will provide the event which will be called when the user finish the paypal? If it contains this event you could put a popup windows to let user know the process has been finished and call the event to remove the session.

I'll put in a popup window and try that! Thanks for the suggestion.
