Look at the variableTimeoutTrigger I tried using this in witango 5 and it didn't work as you'd want, but I understand that it does in previous versions
You assign it to each user in user scope and it contains the URL of the taf that will write the shopping cart to file or db. Etc. In witango 5, by the time the URL is called, the variables are gone.
