Alternative of session variable for Shopping cart in ASP .Net MVC

Question

I want to create shopping cart without using session variable to avoid load on Server.

What is an alternative of session variable for shopping cart in asp.net MVC?

Answer 1

Then you need to do this using a cookie.

1. Generate a unique id of your shopping cart and store the id in a cookie
2. Create the cart, with the id, in your Database
3. Load /save cart from Database only if you need

Update

Just to make it clear, your shopping cart unique id should be a System.Guid not an int

Answer 2

thats a good question

i think you can try for storing shopping cart in cookie ..

it will increase performance and provide less load on server ...
