[UX] Cart state not preserved on page refresh

[Siddh2024]

Description

Items added to the cart are lost when the user refreshes the page. The cart state is held only in memory and not persisted.

Impact

• Users lose their selected items on accidental refresh
• Poor e-commerce UX

Suggested Fix

Persist cart state in localStorage or sessionStorage and restore it on page load.

Greetings @rdodiya,

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC 2026.

I understand that the cart state is currently maintained only in memory, causing users to lose their selected items whenever the page is refreshed. This affects the overall shopping experience and can lead to inconvenience during the ordering process.

I will work on:

1. Persisting cart data using localStorage or sessionStorage.
2. Restoring the cart state automatically when the application loads.
3. Ensuring cart operations (add, remove, update quantity) remain synchronized with the stored data.
4. Testing the implementation thoroughly to verify cart persistence across page refreshes and user sessions.

Kindly assign this issue to me if possible.

Thank you!
