Try 'Iterative Checkout'

If this is your first time trying Violet's Checkout API, we recommend following this guide step by step. Our docs allow you to try endpoints by entering your own values and submitting the request directly. You can also use cURL or any HTTP client of your choice — the request and response examples throughout serve as a reference for properly formatted requests when building your own integration with Violet.

So far you have been able to view all the Merchants available for your application, view their catalog of products and select one specific product. Here you will learn how to go through the entire flow of purchasing a product through Violet. To get started with the Checkout process, we will create a cart and add products to it. For this section, we have taken the SKU that we retrieved details for in Interact with Catalogs.

Currently Violet passes all failures in checkout relating to surpassing rate limits downstream. When integrating with Violet you must consider and prepare for such scenarios in all API calls to Violet. Handling rate limits with Violet

A cart response can come back with status code 200 and still have errors in the errors field. This is because there might only be errors on some of the SKUs or Bags while the rest of the order is in a good state.

Make sure your system is coded to always check for the presence of the errors field on responses, no matter the status code.

Note that not all order errors are blocking. INTERNAL_ADD_ITEM for example just indicates that an item could not be added to the cart, this does not block checkout of other items.
