Can I enable caching for my online shop without affecting baskets and orders?
You can use caching for an online shop, but pages personalised for individual customers need separate handling. Basket, checkout and customer account pages should not be served from a page cache shared between visitors. Check the guidance for your shop platform and caching solution before enabling it.
Test in a separate environment, both as a guest and as a signed-in customer: add products, change quantities, apply a discount code and complete a test order. Check that prices and stock information update correctly. Avoid combining multiple caching solutions unless you understand how they interact, and clear the cache after relevant changes.
