Saved Carts
One of the most powerful — and most underused — features on Dexter Index. Saved Carts let you store parts lists from your active cart, so ordering is faster, more consistent, and less likely to have errors.
How Our Customers Use Saved Carts
Every business type finds a different way to make this feature work for them.
Ready to set one up? Here's how it works.
Create a Saved Cart
Saved Carts are created by adding parts from your active cart — either to a new saved cart or to an existing one.
How to create a Saved Cart
- Build your order normally by adding parts to your active cart.
- From the cart, click Save Cart to save the items.
- Choose to save to a new saved cart (give it a descriptive name) or add to an existing saved cart.
- Important: Saving your active cart as a saved cart will clear your active cart. Make sure you're ready before saving.
- There is no limit on the number of saved carts or items per cart.
Saving your active cart clears it
When you save your active cart to a saved cart, your active cart is cleared. If you need to continue ordering, load the saved cart back into your active cart after saving.
💡 Pro Tips
- Give carts specific, descriptive names — "7K Brake Restock" is more useful than "Cart 1".
- Saved carts are personal to your login — other users on your account won't see them.
- You can add items to an existing saved cart at any time — you don't need to create a new one each time.
Manage & Edit Saved Carts
Saved carts aren't static — keep them up to date as your needs change.
What you can do with any saved cart
Rename it — use the Rename Saved Cart field at the top of the edit page and click Save Edits.
Add parts — add new items to an existing saved cart from your active cart at any time.
Remove parts — delete items that are no longer needed.
Update quantities — adjust the quantity of any line item before loading to cart.
Delete it — remove saved carts you no longer need to keep things tidy.
💡 Pro Tips
- Review your saved carts periodically to make sure part numbers are still current — SKUs can change with product updates.
- For repair shops: update the cart after the job is complete to reflect any substitutions, so it's accurate for the next similar repair.
- For OEMs: version your cart names (e.g. "7K Utility Build v2") to track when you update your bill of materials.
Open any saved cart to add or remove items, update quantities, or rename it.
Load a Saved Cart & Order
When you're ready to order, loading a saved cart takes seconds — and it never removes the saved cart.
How loading works
- Go to Shopping Tools → Saved Carts.
- Find the cart you want and click Add To Cart in the Action column.
- The saved cart items are added to your current active cart — they don't replace it.
- You can also open a saved cart and click Move All Items To Cart from the edit view.
- The saved cart remains intact after loading — it is never removed or cleared.
- Review quantities, check availability, and proceed to checkout as normal.
💡 Pro Tips
- Because saved carts add to your current cart, start from an empty cart if you only want to order that saved cart's items.
- You can load multiple saved carts into one active cart — useful if you're combining a restock order with a repair job.
- Always check stock availability after loading — items that were available when the cart was saved may have changed.
Remember: one branch per order
If your saved cart contains items from multiple branches, loading it may update your fulfillment location. Review your cart carefully before checking out, especially if ordering for multiple locations.
Click Add To Cart on any saved cart to load it into your active cart. The saved cart is never removed.
Save an Active Cart
Get interrupted mid-order? Save your active cart to pick up right where you left off — or use it to manage orders across multiple locations.
When saving your active cart is useful
You get interrupted — save your progress and come back exactly where you left off. Note that saving will clear your active cart.
Multiple users share a login — save your in-progress order so the next person doesn't accidentally clear it.
Ordering for multiple locations — since each order is tied to one shipping location, save the first location's cart (which clears it), then build a fresh cart for the second location.
You want approval before ordering — save the cart, share the name with your manager, and let them load and submit it when ready.
💡 Pro Tips
- Name saved carts with a date if they're time-sensitive — e.g. "June Restock — hold for approval".
- Remember: saving your active cart clears it. Load the saved cart back to active when you're ready to continue ordering.
Save your active cart at any time — useful for multi-user accounts, multiple ship-to locations, or orders awaiting approval.
