We are following this guide - https://shopify.dev/api/examples/checkout#shopify-web-checkout to create the checkout url. We found if we enabled the "Accounts are required" for checkout, the link will not work, user will be redirected to the customer login page, and after they login (or even they login first before click the link), it is not the same shopify cart that we set in the api call (should be the original cart blind with the customer account.
Does shopify support the checkout url api for store that requirement customer login to checkout?
