How long does a cart session live?

Hi there ~

I am using Cart API for building shopping cart for the Hydrogen App. I’m wondering when does the cart session expire? Thanks!

Hi ChloeWu_EMW3,

Unused and abandoned carts automatically expire within 10 days of creation - you can learn more about working with the cart for custom storefronts in our dev docs here.

Hope this helps,

What happens if on the client, you try to add/remove an item from this expired cart ID? Will the mutation just fail? Or will a new cart with a new ID be created but with the same items as the old one?

Or if you try to query for an expired cart, will it just return null?

Thanks!
