Use Cart Documents

Cart documents are trimmed and flexible JSON structures that you can use in the CPQ on Core services. You can then use the output JSON to send responses to upper layer APIs such as the Digital Commerce APIs.

To use a cart document:

  1. Identify the instance of the cart document from the input map.

  2. Call the wrapper APIs using the format: CpqCartDocument.call(methodName, args)
    The results of all of these methods are in JSON format, with a single key-value pair: "result": value. Set methods (setCartField, setExternalprice) require arguments without “result” node.
