Note: For more details on this endpoint please refer to the API Reference

Once you have a cart with products in it you need to apply the customer information. For a brand new customer this would likely include Apply Guest Customer to Cart , Set Shipping Address , and Set Billing Address.

Though for the sake of ease in this Recipe we will simply address handling and use the same address for billing and shipping and pass this through the body of the request. For more details on what fields this API can take, refer to the documentation linked above. In this example, we have used the cart we created in the previous step. Your Cart Id will be different and need to be updated in the request below.

Using same_address: true we can set the shipping and billing address simultaneously.
