I can’t find a way to store data in a session for the time the session exists.
I can only see flashdata (only valid for next page) or cache (for current page across templates).
How would you recommend to handle for example a shopping cart? Is it possible to call the codeigniter session class?

ExpressionEngine extends the CI session class, so as far as i know you cannot call the “normal” session class.
You can create a hook to the session class that retrieves extra data from a different table and append that to the normal session data (linked by session_id).
