You can easily get a new or existing cart by providing the unique cart reference in the request.

An empty cart is returned for any carts that don’t currently exist. For more information about the cart items object, see Get Cart Items.

Outside of the JS-SDK, we don’t handle creating cart references. You need to create your own.
