# About the eCommerce Cart API

The cart is the first phase of a purchase, followed by checkout, then order.

A cart holds information about purchased items, prices, discounts, site details, buyer IDs (contact and member/visitor) and more. 
Additionally, some methods in the Cart API can directly manage the current cart of the site visitor or logged-in member.

With the eCommerce Cart API you can:
+ Get [a cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/get-cart.md) or [the current cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/get-current-cart.md).
+ Add catalog items to [a cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/add-to-cart.md) or to [the current cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/add-to-current-cart.md).
+ Create a checkout from [a cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/create-checkout-from-cart.md) or from [the current cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/create-checkout-from-current-cart.md). 
+ Estimate the price totals for [a cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/estimate-totals.md) or [the current cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/estimate-current-cart-totals.md).
+ Update the properties of [a cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/update-cart.md) or [the current cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/update-current-cart.md).
+ Update the quantity of line items in [a cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/update-line-items-quantity.md) or [the current cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/update-current-cart-line-item-quantity.md).
+ Remove a coupon from [a cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/remove-coupon.md) or [the current cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/remove-coupon-from-current-cart.md).
+ Remove line items from [a cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/remove-line-items.md) or [the current cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/remove-line-items-from-current-cart.md).
+ Delete [a cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/delete-cart.md) or [the current cart](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/delete-current-cart.md).

You can also listen for events when a cart is [created](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/cart-created.md), [updated](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/cart-updated.md), and [deleted](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/purchase-flow/cart/cart-deleted.md).
