Step 3. Add products to the cart

GraphQL checkout tutorial

GraphQL supports all product types, but this tutorial only demonstrates how to add a simple product and a virtual product to the shopping cart. You can find more details and examples in the following topics:

Product interface implementations also describes how to create queries that access product interfaces.

Use the updateCartItems mutation to update shopping cart items and removeItemFromCart to remove a product from the shopping cart.

If you add a product to the shopping cart as a registered customer, be sure to send the customer’s authorization token in the Authorization parameter of the header. See Authorization tokens for more details.

Add a simple product into the shopping cart

The following mutation adds a simple product into the shopping cart.

Replace { CART_ID } with the unique shopping cart ID from Step 2. Create empty cart.

In this example, we will add the Aim Analog Watch (SKU 24-MG04) from the default Luma catalog to the cart. The SKU identifies the product to be added.
