Submit Cart

Submit a Cart, turning the Cart into an Order

For this example we didn't price our cart at any point. It will be done automatically before completing the checkout.

circle-info

When building your own integration with Violet, there are instances where carts are not priced automatically after applying shipping methods.

You will know this is needed when the response from the apply shipping methods call has a 0 value for tax_total. If that happens, make a call to price cart before calling submit.
