Create Cart

Create a new Cart with SKU 10064 in it.

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

Cart creation begins the checkout process. Products can be added to the cart at creation with a JSON Body listing 1 or more sku_id & quantity pairs.

It is not required that you add a SKU to create a cart, since it is possible for your customers cart to be empty, however, in this example, we will purchase a product with the SKU 10064 (which we noted down from the previous section)
