Cart Management

A Cart contains the product and custom cart items that a user intends to purchase. After a Cart is ready for Checkout, you can use the Checkout endpoint to convert the cart to an order.

note

• Adding, modifying, or removing any cart items, custom items, or promotions always returns the cart meta, calculated using the calculation method. This is useful to update the client with up-to-date totals.
• We will automatically delete carts 7 days after they were last updated.
• If you do not pass a X-MOLTIN-CURRENCY header specifying what currency you would like the cart to use, the products in the cart are converted to your default currency.
