addSimpleProductsToCart mutation

Edit on GitHub Log an Issue

The addSimpleProductsToCart mutation allows you to add any number of simple and group products to the cart at the same time.

Simple products are physical products that do not have variations, such as color, size, or price. Group products are a set of simple standalone products that are assigned a unique SKU and are presented as a group. Each product in the group is purchased as a separate item.

To add a simple or grouped product to a cart, you must provide the cart ID, the SKU, and the quantity. You can also optionally provide customizable options.
