Carts

Important

This entity first appeared in CS-Cart/Multi-Vendor 4.3.5.

A customer adds a product to his/her cart before buying it. You can see the list of carts that haven’t been purchased in the Administration panel of your store under Marketing →Abandoned/Live carts. Carts will appear there in two cases:

  • A customer has added products to cart, but is still browsing the store.
  • A customer added products to cart and then left the store without purchasing those products or removing them from cart.

List All Carts

To get a list of carts, send a GET request to /api/carts/:

GET /api/carts/

This request returns 10 carts with their details.

Pagination, Sorting, and Filtering

Add these parameters to the request path to specify which carts will be returned in the response and how they will be organized:

Parameter Default value Description
page 1 The response to GET /api/carts/ is a page with a limited number of carts. This parameter determines the number of the carts that will be sent in the response.
items_per_page 10 Determines the number of carts on a page.
sort_by date Sort carts by customer or date.
sort_order desc
Determines the sorting order:
asc—ascending
desc—descending
cname  
Filter carts by the name of the user. You don’t have to use full names—sequences of letters from any part of the first name/last name are enough.

For example, if you use cname=do, you’ll find carts that belong to John Doe, Dorian Gray, etc.
email   Show only the cart that belongs to the user with the specified email.

R—registered users.
G—guests.
total_from   Hide the carts with the total lower than specified here.
total_to   Hide the carts with the total higher than specified here.
product_type_c false Set this to true, and the response will include only those users who have something in their carts.
product_type_w false Set this to true, and the response will include only those users who have something on their wishlist.
period  
Filter carts by time period:
A—all the time
D—today
LD—previous day
W—current week
LW—last week
M—current month
LM—last month
Y—current year
LY—last year
HH—last 24 hours
HW—last 7 days

C—specified time period (use with the time_from and time_to fields)
time_from   Hide the carts that were created before the UNIX time specified here.
time_to   Hide the carts that were created after the UNIX time specified here.
p_ids  
Show carts with the specified product IDs. There are two ways to use p_ids:
1. An array: p_ids[]=1&p_ids[]=2&p_ids[]=3
2. A string: p_ids=1,2,3,4,5

Examples:

  • http://example.com/api/carts/?items_per_page=20

    Response is an array with 20 carts from the 1st page.

  • http://example.com/api/carts/?page=5&items_per_page=20&period=D&user_type=G
