“Persistent Products in Cart”is a new module inVPCART 8.00.
It allows your store to save shopping cart items into the database.The cart
items will remain populated even if customers have left the site.When they
reopen the site at a later time, they will still see the cart items they added
last time.

previous versions(V7 and below) is that the current VPCART 8.00“Persistent
Products in Cart” is database driven, while the past versions do not use
database to store cart items.

default, in Modules Manager.
