Storefront Checkouts

Create a Consignment

POST /checkouts/{checkoutId}/consignments

Request

Adds a new Consignment to Checkout.

Perform the following two steps to define the fulfillment of the items in the cart.

For shipping consignments:

1. Add a new Consignment to Checkout.
    * Send a `POST` request to `/consignments` with each shipping address, line item IDs, and quantities. Each address can have its own line item IDs.
    * Provide a full valid customer address before placing the order. If provided, the order placement will succeed. 
    * As part of the request URL make sure to add `include=consignments.availableShippingOptions` to return the available shipping options based on the items, the address, and the shipping location. This will return `availableShippingOptions` in the response.

  * Required Fields:
    * `shipping_address` (deprecated) or `address`
    * `lineItems`
2. Update the Consignment with Shipping Options using the [REST Storefront API](/checkouts/checkout-consignments#update-a-consignment), the [REST Management API](/docs/rest-management/checkouts/checkout-consignments#update-checkout-consignment) or the [GraphQL Storefront API](/docs/storefront/cart-checkout/guide/graphql-storefront).

For pickup consignments:

1. Create a new consignment object. 
  - Send a `POST` request to `/consignments` with line item IDs and quantities.
  - Provide a `pickupMethodId`. This is the `id` of the Pickup Method provided in the response body of the Storefront Pickup Options API.
  - Required Fields:
      * `pickupOption`
      * `lineItems`

Update a Consignment

PUT /checkouts/{checkoutId}/consignments/{consignmentId}

Request

Updates an existing consignment. An update is either one of the following:

  1. Updates the consignment address and/or line items.
  2. Selects a specific fulfillment option.

Update the consignment address and line items

For this type of update, the payload is the same as when creating a new consignment. Update each Consignment shippingOptionId (shipping address and line items) with the availableShippingOption > id from the POST /consignment response.

Note: Updating a consignment could invalidate the value for selectedShippingOption and selectedPickupOption.

Select a specific fulfillment option

Before placing an order, each consignment must have a selectedShippingOption or a selectedPickupOption.

If the consignment already has a pick-up option selected and a shipping option is provided, the pick-up option will be deselected and the shipping option will be selected instead (and vice versa). The PUT request will fail if it contains a shipping option ID and a pickup option ID.

Required Fields:

  • shippingOptionId or pickupOptionId
  • lineItems
