mergeCarts mutation

The mergeCarts mutation transfers the contents of a guest cart into the cart of a logged-in customer. This mutation must be run on behalf of a logged-in customer.

The mutation retains any items that were already in the logged-in customer’s cart. If both the guest and customer carts contain the same item, mergeCarts adds the quantities. Upon success, the mutation deletes the original guest cart.

Use the customerCart query to determine the value of the destination_cart_id attribute.

Syntax

mergeCarts(source_cart_id: String!, destination_cart_id: String!): Cart!

Example usage

In the following example, the customer had one Overnight Duffle in the cart (CYmiiQRjPVc2gJUc5r7IsBmwegVIFO43) before a guest cart (mPKE05OOtcxErbk1Toej6gw6tcuxvT9O) containing a Radiant Tee and another Overnight Duffle was merged. The cart now includes three items, including two Overnight Duffles.
