What to do with anonymous customers

Hi,

as I am deep diving into BLC, I've noticed that even for anonymous shopping cart, there will be created anonymous customer. Later on the last point of checkout, when user is authenticated anonymous shopping cart is merged to "real" shopping cart and "real" customer data.

But I am wondering is there any feature that I do not know at the moment that will delete "old" anonymous customer records.

Just to give you an idea, in process of testing I have almost 30.000 of anonymous customer records in just 7 days.

I know that I can make some batch delete process, but I am wondering maybe BLC framework does have it, and that I am not aware of it.


Thank You

We do not have a formalized scheduled job delivered with Broadleaf that deletes anonymous customers (or abandoned orders, for that matter). If you would like to delete anonymous customers after a certain time-to-live, I would suggest adding a simple quartz job that runs on some regular basis.
