How can I delete or invalidate a checkout URL using the storefront API?

[asmerkin]

I'm creating some checkout using the Storefront API. Everything seems to work well, and I get the webUrl along with the ID. 

Now, I need some checkouts to expire after 5 minutes (as an example), or sometimes I need to invalidate some checkout URLs, but I don't see a clear way to do this in the Storefront API docs. 

Is there a way to invalidate a checkout? 

Thank you so much!

Have you looked into closing an order? This can't be done using the Storefront API and requires a Server accessing the Admin API.

As far as I know, creating a checkout via Storefront does not create an
order in the admin. It does not create a draft order.

Is there any other solution?

Well, is it an app that you're building that keeps track of the checkout id? If so, couldn't you just forget the Id and request new?

The problem is that the checkout url is given to the customer in an email.
So I want it to expire after a few minutes. I need to invalidate a checkout
after few minutes. Maybe I could remove all line items after X minutes, but
I don't think that is allowed.

Did you find a solution for this?

Sadly, no.

Ah that's unfortunate! Thanks anyway
