Description
The Cart Keeper add-on stops products from silently disappearing from the cart. An out-of-stock product stays in the cart with an "Out of stock" label, and once it is back, the customer returns it to the order in one click, or the add-on does it automatically. Instead, the customer can pick a similar product right away or subscribe to a back-in-stock notification. Checkboxes let customers order only part of the cart, and the rest is kept. The order contents can also be managed from the mini-cart in the header. Held items are stored in the customer's profile and available from any device, and the administrator sees them in a dedicated "Items not in the order" section. Checkboxes and labels follow the style of the active theme.

Add-ons capabilities
- A checkbox for every product
Every cart row has a theme-styled checkbox, placed on the product image or to the left of it depending on the thumbnail size. Unchecking it holds the product: the row stays in place, "Not in the order" is shown instead of the quantity, and the item is excluded from the totals and the order. Variations and options of a held product are displayed just like for regular products. The "Select all" row unchecks all products or returns all available held items to the order.
- Out of stock, but not gone
The CS-Cart core removes an out-of-stock product from the cart. The add-on keeps it: the row is dimmed, the checkbox is disabled, and an "out of stock" label appears under the image. Stock of individual variations, as well as the negative stock and pre-order settings, are taken into account. If less stock is left than the quantity in the cart, the product is not treated as out of stock, and the customer orders the available quantity.

Mini-cart
The dropdown mini-cart mirrors the cart page: product checkboxes, the "Select all" row, a list of held items with return and delete actions, and variations and options shown by the same rules as for the block's regular products. The dropdown stays open after each action. If all products are held but some of them can be returned to the order, an indicator appears on the cart button, and clicking it opens the cart. Works in the "Cart content" block of any template and in the UniTheme2 sticky panel.

"Items not in the order" section
Next to "Abandoned carts", a list of carts containing held or out-of-stock products appears. For each customer: contact details (IP address for guests), date, number of items split into "out of stock / excluded by the customer", and the total. The expanded details show the products themselves with their options, reason, current availability, and price.
