Checkout endpoint v2

This page describes the checkout endpoint, which can be used to interact with your external e-commerce solution’s REST checkout service.

In v2, all the rest-call paths have been slightly changed to be more descriptive and intuitive. The v2 checkout endpoint sets the address of a cartId to ensure the correct resource is consistently identified. For example, the v1 /checkouts/address/{cartId} becomes in v2 /carts/{cartId}/address.

In general, the checkout process involves four steps:

  1. Set an address.

  2. Get shipping methods.

  3. Set a shipping method.

  4. Create an order.

Note that in Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento), steps 1 and 2 are combined in step 2. Get shipping methods, where you must provide the address object as a required parameter.

Magento is now Adobe Commerce, powered by Magento. In the examples and configuration below, we may refer to Adobe Commerce as Magento.
