Carts API: custom items don’t support images
We’ve clarified that custom cart items don’t support images. The image_url field on a custom item is accepted by the API but does not render on the storefront.
- Carts v3 schemas —
image_urldescriptions oncart_PostCustomItem,ItemCustomGet, andItemCustomnow note that the field isn’t rendered for custom items - Endpoint usage notes — added the limitation to the Create a Cart and Add Cart Line Items operations
- Request examples — removed misleading
image_urlvalues from custom item examples - Headless carts guide — added a callout to the Working with carts page
- Checkout & Orders REST API course — added a note to the cart lesson
