Working with Cart APIs
This topic provides detailed instructions for implementing and managing carts throughout their complete lifecycle using the Conga Advantage Platform Cart APIs. This topic covers cart creation, activation, monitoring, migration, and advanced operations for CPQ and digital commerce scenarios.
The Cart service provides REST APIs to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) carts. The implementation supports:
- Cart creation and activation as part of launching a CPQ business object, such as a proposal or collaboration request.
- Direct cart creation and activation for Digital Commerce without a backing business object.
- Updating cart attributes such as name and price list.
- Deleting carts that are no longer required.
You can use the activation API to:
- Create and activate
- Fetch and activate
Activation date behavior
Every time you call the cart activate API or launch a business object that triggers cart activation, the system updates the cart’s activation date.
