This section guides you through adding a product to a cart using the Commerce API. By making a POST request to the specified endpoint with the appropriate product identifier, you can seamlessly integrate the capability of adding products to a shopper's cart within your application.
See Gifting for details if you want to add a gift product to the cart.
To add a product to a cart using the product identifier,
Ensure you obtain your access token during cart creation. For instructions on generating the access token, refer to Creating a cart.
Send a request. Replace {productId} with the actual product identifier and {Your_API_Key} with your API key. For product combinations, replace the {productId} with the combination product's identifier. The response will detail the product information under lineItem and any components under the component object.
Here's a basic example using cURL:
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/carts
/active?productId={productId}' \
--header 'authorization: Basic {Your_API_Key}'\A successful request returns a 200 OK response.
