DON'T Put Session IDs in Your Links

DON'T Put Session IDs in Your Links

What is a Session ID?

When an item is added to the cart on your website, a session id is created. The session id is a long string of numbers that will appear in the url address of the website page. It identifies a specific shopping cart.

Example


When you are creating a link, either in the Site Manager, or pasting to a newsletter or email, be sure not to include the session id because all people who click the link will share the same shopping cart. This can be especially bad if a search engine indexes the link.

What To Do if You Accidentally Send out a Link with the Session ID

Send an email webhelp@heroweb.com and provide the EXACT version of the link that contains the session id. We can intercept requests to that link and send them to a page that does not contain the session id.
