Clear cart after checkout

[sattyframework]

Hello I am a bit stuck. How can i clear the cart after the payment has been successful?

I am handling the payment through a controller and I am using database orders. I know that I can use events e.g. postCheckout however I am using a custom model for my orders instead of the simple commerce OrderModel::class and it does not accept my Model type.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Are you using your own controller?

Yes! The checkout process in in vue as it is a multi-step which then posts to my controller to handle the payment. All is working, and just need to perform some post checkout steps such as clearing the current the cart :)

Ah okay, I don't generally recommend using custom controllers.

Anyways, this is where the cart is cleared in Simple Commerce's CheckoutController:

simple-commerce/src/Http/Controllers/CheckoutController.php

Line 278 in f16adef

$this->forgetCart();

You'll need to import the CartDriver trait.
