What you should know about the Cart API

The Amazon Webstore Customization APIs include a Cart API. The Cart API is designed to provide the ability for the seller applications to add, get, replace/update, or remove products in the customer’s Cart. The Cart API is designed to be real-time. It is not intended for bulk/reporting usage.

Note: Associate products are not supported by the Amazon Webstore Website Customization APIs.

The Cart API supports the following methods:

Methods Short description POST Add a product to a Cart. GET Return products in the Cart and the Saved for

Later. PUT Replace or update a product in the Cart and

Saved for Later. Use PUT to add products to the Saved for Later and not POST.

DELETE Remove products individually or delete the entire Cart.

Terminology The following table defines the terminology for the CART API:

Term Definition

Cart Session Id Identifies the customer’s Cart. The session-id can be read, and passed in the URL as the cart identifier and is available in the session-id cookie. For example: NAME: session-id VALUE: 179-7643704-4243968 DOMAIN: myexamplename.hostedbywebstore.com PATH: / EXPIRES: 09/28/2015 12:00:00 AM

ASIN Amazon Standard Item Number for an item. SKU Stock Keeping Unit for an item. Cart Item Id The unique item id for an item in the Cart.

You can use Cart Item Id to update a cart item quantity, and to delete a cart item. You cannot use Cart Item Id to retrieve an item.

Offer Listing Id The unique offer Id for a product listing. If you have multiple offers for the same item condition (for example, you have multiple offers for a product that is condition New) you will need to specify the Offer Listing Id when making a request.

ws-auth-token The token that authenticates a user session. An authenticated user session is when a customer is logged in the site with their account



credentials. If you want to add a product to the Cart in this scenario, you will need to pass the ws-auth-token along with the Cart Session Id.

When you submit a request, you will need to provide the following:

• Webstore’s domain name: Your Webstore domain name is the URL to your site. You can find the URL on Seller Central home. If you have a default Webstore domain name, it might be something like: myexamplename.hostedbywebstore.com.

• Customer’s cart session-id: The cart session-id identifies the customer’s Cart. The session-id can be read, and passed in the URL as the cart identifier and is available in the session-id cookie.

To determine the URL to use when sending requests to the Cart API, add “/api/cart/{cartId}” to the endpoint for your Webstore domain name.

For example: http:// {yourWebstoreDomain}/api/cart/{cartId}

To get active products in the Cart, add the term “items” after the cartId.

For example: http://myexamplename.hostedbywebstore.com/api/cart/179-7643704-4243968/items

To get saved products in the Saved for Later, add the term “savedItems” after the cartId.

For example: http://myexamplename.hostedbywebstore.com/api/cart/179-7643704-4243968/saveditems

When submitting a request, you can use the Accept header to specify the format of the response. By default, the API returns human-readable JSON.

Headers • Accept: text/json //JSON - human-readable (default) • Accept: application/json //JSON - optimized for programs • Accept: text/xml //XML - human-readable • Accept: application/xml //XML - optimized for programs

POST

The following are POST operations you can use for the Cart API. Each POST operation will have an example request.

Add to Cart by ASIN and Offer Id This operation adds a product to the Cart by ASIN and Offer Id. Offer Id can select an offer for a product. For example, if you are selling 3 products but with different conditions (New, Used, Refurbished), you can use the Offer Id to specify the New offer. This is the most recommended operation of adding a product to the Cart.

POST http://{yourWebstoreDomain}/api/cart/{cartId}/items



Example request:

In this request, the ASIN and Offer Listing Id are provided below.

POST http://myexamplename.hostedbywebstore.com/api/cart/179-7643704-4243968/items

Add to Cart by ASIN and Item Condition This operation adds a product to the Cart by ASIN and Item Condition. You can use this operation when there is only one offer within the given Item Condition. If there are multiple offers for the product with the given Item Condition (for example, multiple offerings for a Refurbished product), this call will fail. This operation is useful if your products only have one offer or one offer per Item Condition.

Best Practices

Multiple Offerings for an Item When you make a request for an item, we recommend the following:

• Cart Item Id refers to a specific item in the Cart. A request that passes the Cart Item Id only affects that Cart Item – regardless of the number of offers or variations that that may also be



available.

• Use SKU or Offer Listing Id in your request if there is only a single offer for an item. For example, you sell a t-shirt and the condition is New and all listings of this product are the same price.

• If you have multiple offerings for the same item condition, you will need to specify the Offer Listing Id when making a request. For example, you sell a book and the condition is Used, but one listing of the book might be 3.99 while another is 5.99. The books have the same condition, but different prices.

• If there are multiple offerings for a given ASIN, passing an ASIN in a request will return all offers.

Updating a Cart when a Customer is Logged in An authenticated user session is when a customer is logged into the site with their account credentials. If you want to update the Cart in this scenario, you will need to pass the ws-auth-token along with the Cart Session Id.

For an authenticated user session when a customer is logged on the site, every call to the Cart API should have the ws-auth-token passed in the header.

CURL command example for adding a product to a Cart when the customer is logged in:

/usr/bin/curl -v -X POST --data-binary "<?xml version = \"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?><c:cartItems xmlns:c=\"http://webstore.amazon.com/API\"><c:cartItem><c:product><c:identifiers><c:asin>B0011UTH7A</c:asin></c:identifiers></c:product><c:quantity>1</c:quantity><c:offer><c:itemCondition>New</c:itemCondition></c:offer></c:cartItem></c:cartItems>" -H "Accept: text/xml" -H "Cookie: session-id=192-8176738-7824405;ws-auth-token=AJwAAAAAAAAAAQAQX7KGYLZnhzYl9Fit3v4X6QCAd2tBFbG9rmjpad5PQH6WfbMoSNlJ_7p-q9-tQM-PHOR-XHTJmX7AXYSKZ4BlTReYY7aInv66vaYXkIXBEvH_pVsLO8H0d7EzuWPJyLJqkUwlP755KOfY5ogRlppJ2cPdP5mtOR62JVuqJYvpNz_efXYwlQTKzxS2eXnH_soyYH4AIKgZgOw9ZdMERAd_YiMaBx_CPYNdISL5xSV-VbNfXzJT" http://myexamplename.hostedbywebstore.com/api/cart/192-8176738-7824405/items

Response Elements

Name Description

cartItems Item information for each item in the Cart. savedItems Item information for each item in the Saved for

Later. Identifiers Contains the product identifiers:

• merchantId • sku • asin

Attributes Contains the title, color, and size of the product. Assets Contains various assets associated with the

product, including product images, swatch images, and product alternate link.

Quantity The quantity of the item. itemTotal The currency of the item and the total price of the

item. Total price of an item is unitPrice * quantity.



itemId This value is used to uniquely identify a Cart item. offerListingId The offer listing id. unitPrice The currency and the price that the customer will

be able to purchase the item. previousUnitPrice The previous currency and the value of the item.

If there is an update in the item price after the customer has added the item to Cart, previousUnitPrice will be different from the unitPrice. previousUnitPrice will be the item price before the update.

offer Contains the various offer details of the item. The buyingPrice here is the current offer price and could be different from the unitPrice. To benefit the customer, after the item is added to cart, the unitPrice will be the best price (comparing with unitPrice and buyingPrice) within the price protection period (which could be around 1 hour depending on Amazon price protection policy) even though the merchant has updated the offer/buying price after the item is added to cart. Contains the following:

• buyingPrice • regularPrice • isOneClickBuyable • isPreOrderable • isBackorderable • itemCondition • itemSubCondition • minHoursToShip • maxHoursToShip • quantity • quantityType • isReplenishable

isGiftWrapped If the product is gift wrapped. itemSubtotal The subtotal of the entire Cart.
