Updates an existing, single line item in the Cart.
Notes
Currently, only updating list_price and quantity are supported. By default, overriding a product’s list_price makes it ineligible for V3 product-level promotions. In Store Settings under Promotions and Coupons in the control panel, you can change this behavior to allow promotions on overridden prices.
If the product has modifiers, omit the variant_id and instead use the option_selections array to describe both the variant and the modifier selections.
If a variant needs to be changed or updated, the product will need to be removed and re-added to the cart with the correct variants using the Add Cart Line Items endpoint.
custom_items cannot be updated via the API at this time. To update your cart, add a new updated custom item and delete the outdated one. If your cart contains only one line item, perform the add operation before the delete operation.
Deleting all line items from the cart will invalidate the cart.
To prevent lost updates due to concurrent requests overriding changes made by others, it is recommended to enable optimistic concurrency control by including the version field in the request payload. If the provided version does not match the version on the server, a conflict error will be returned, which the client can handle accordingly.
The cart version that you expect to apply the updates. If the provided version doesn’t match the current cart version, you will receive a conflict error. This field is optional; if not provided, optimistic concurrency control will not apply.
A cart contains a collection of items, prices, discounts, etc. It does not contain customer-related data.
