Hello Kiran,
Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.
You can get the products added to shopping cart by using the following code :
OrderManager manager = OrderManager.GetManager();
//get shopping cart for the current user, or by cookie.
var shoppingCart = manager.TryGetCartOrder(this.GetShoppingCartId());var cartDetails = shoppingCart .Details();/// <summary>/// This method gets the id of the shopping cart for the current user. /// </summary>/// <remarks>/// This method uses cookies as persistence for the shopping cart./// </remarks>/// <param name="ordersControl">/// The instance of <see cref="IOrdersControl"/> which this method extends./// </param>/// <returns>/// The id of the shopping cart; empty GUID if user has no shopping cart./// </returns>public static Guid GetShoppingCartId() HttpCookie shoppingCartCookie = SystemManager.CurrentHttpContext.Request.Cookies[EcommerceConstants.OrdersConstants.ShoppingCartIdCookieName]; if (shoppingCartCookie == null || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(shoppingCartCookie.Value)) return Guid.Empty; if (!shoppingCartCookie.Value.IsGuid()) throw new InvalidOperationException("cartOrderId string cannot be parsed as a GUID; please provide a valid cartOrderId value."); return new Guid(shoppingCartCookie.Value);public static Guid GetShoppingCartId(HttpCookie shoppingCartCookie) if (shoppingCartCookie == null || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(shoppingCartCookie.Value)) return Guid.Empty; if (!shoppingCartCookie.Value.IsGuid()) throw new InvalidOperationException("cartOrderId string cannot be parsed as a GUID; please provide a valid cartOrderId value."); return new Guid(shoppingCartCookie.Value);Thanks Bobby for the reply.

Hi Bobby,
Here is the task:
I need to save the products added to the cart, get the customer contact information and save it to the sitefinity with products added to cart and contact information. Its like a quick shopping cart without using checkout module. is it possible ?
Thanks,
Kiran
