The quote_item table (sales_flat_quote_item on M1) contains records on every item added to a shopping cart, whether the cart was abandoned or converted to a purchase. Each row represents one cart item. Due to the potential size of this table, Adobe recommends you periodically delete records if certain criteria are met, such as if there are any unconverted carts older than 60 days.

NOTE
Analyzing historical, abandoned carts is only possible if you do not delete records from the quote and quote_item table. If you do delete records, you are only able to see the carts not yet removed from your database.

Common Native Columns

Column Name
Description
base_price
Price of an individual unit of a product at the time the item was added to a cart, after catalog price rules, tiered discounts, and special pricing are applied and before any taxes, shipping, or cart discounts are applied. This is represented in the base currency of the store.
created_at
Creation timestamp of the cart item, stored locally in UTC. Depending on your configuration in Commerce Intelligence, this timestamp may be converted to a reporting time zone in Commerce Intelligence that differs from your database time zone
item_id (PK)
Unique identifier for the table
name
Text name of the order item
parent_item_id
Foreign key that relates a simple product to its parent bundle or configurable product. Join to quote_item.item_id to determine parent product attributes associated with simple product. For parent cart items (that is, bundle or configurable product types), the parent_item_id is NULL
product_id
Foreign key associated with the catalog_product_entity table. Join to catalog_product_entity.entity_id to determine product attributes associated with the order item
product_type
Type of product that was added to the cart. Potential product types include: simple, configurable, grouped, virtual, bundle, and downloadable
qty
Quantity of units included in the cart for the particular cart item
quote_id
Foreign key associated with the quote table. Join to quote.entity_id to determine cart attributes associated with the cart item
sku
Unique identifier for the cart item
store_id
Foreign key associated with the store table. Join to store.store_id to determine which Commerce store view is associated with the cart item

Common Calculated Columns

Column Name
Description
Cart creation date
Timestamp associated with the cart creation date. Calculated by joining quote_item.quote_id to quote.entity_id and returning the created_at timestamp
Cart is active? (1/0)
Boolean field that returns “1” if the cart was created by a customer and has not yet converted to an order. Returns “0” for converted carts, or carts created through the admin. Calculated by joining quote_item.quote_id to quote.entity_id and returning the is_active field
Cart item total value (qty * base_price)
Total value of an item at the time the item was added to a cart, after catalog price rules, tiered discounts, and special pricing are applied and before any taxes, shipping, or cart discounts are applied. Calculated by multiplying the qty by the base_price
Seconds since cart creation
Elapsed time between the cart’s creation date and now. Calculated by joining quote_item.quote_id to quote.entity_id and returning the Seconds since cart creation field
Store name
Name of the Commerce store associated with the order item. Calculated by joining sales_order_item.store_id to store.store_id and returning the name field
