Hi Saurabh,


From the error message you've shared it sounds like the API is expecting a string format for the product or variant ID, but it's receiving something else, so you'll want to ensure that the variantId you are pushing into the items array is a string. In your addToCart function, you might want to explicitly convert the variant ID to a string when adding it to the items array.

 

You should also make sure that getProductInfo is returning a valid product variant ID. You can add a console.log statement to inspect the productInfo and variantId:

 

const productInfo = await getProductInfo(productName);
console.log('Product Info:', productInfo); // Add this line for debugging
if (productInfo) {
  const variantId = productInfo.variants.edges[0].node.id;
  console.log('Variant ID:', variantId); // Add this line for debugging
// ... rest of your code
}

Hope this helps!
