Main issue: clarifying how long a Shopify cartUrl remains valid and how various expirations affect saving and later accessing a cart.
Key questions:
Context: The poster is building a custom Shopify store flow centered on cartUrl creation and wants to store the link to revisit the cart later.
Concerns: Whether these expirations will affect cart functionality when returning via a saved cartUrl, and how to handle potential staleness.
Status: No answers or decisions yet; the thread is open with unresolved questions about lifecycle behavior, staleness checks, and refresh strategies.
I am building a custom Shopify store based on the cartUrl creation. How long does it take for carti to to become invalid?
is there any way to check if cartUrl becomes stale? Can I refresh the same link?
Can you explain this:
Checkout token expiration 1 hour
Abandoned checkout retention Up to 3 months
Cart expiration 10 days
How can it affect my flow with cartUrl creation if I am saving a link to access the cart later. Will it somehow affect the cart functionality?
