info

Please note that the customer cache functionality is only available for authenticated customers.

If your Front-Commerce application is configured to use multiple stores, the customer cache is scoped to the current store.

EG:

  • You have a default store and a second store named FR.
  • The customer is connected to the default store.
  • Its data will be cached.
  • The customer switches to the FR store, the data cached from the default store won't be available for the FR store.
