Answers.Text: No not the front end but the back end on the commerce plugin where it shows the active cart. When a user logs out their email disappears from their shopping cart so my client doesnt know who's email it belongs too so they can't push it through

Answers.Text: Well again that really would be by design - the user has explicitly requested they log out of the site, so it clears the data.  Again, you could write something that listens to logout and restores just the email, or you could store the email in your db table for later matching against the carts, but given the potential security issues (by keeping the email around, you're keeping one half of the login details available) - but users might not like it if they are then e.g. emailed...

  You mean on the front end? User data is cleared when a person logs out....that would be the expected behaviour surely? And for privacy reasons, the info for that customer should not be available until they log back in (think about e.g. use of a shared computer).
  
  I think I must be misunderstanding the question, but as I understand it, the answer is no, and the behaviour of the data being clear is expected (and correct).
  
  (Note the cart itself is not cleared on log out with Commerce as it is with most other systems. Took me a little while to get used to that but it doesn't really seem to cause issues...it would be quite easy to write plugin that clears the cart on logout if you would prefer that).
