Calculate pricing, tax, discounts, and validation requirements without creating an order or invoice. Authentication is optional: unauthenticated callers can preview a checkout cart, while authenticated callers may use stored account country/currency context. Use this after availability/product-detail lookup and before POST /api/v2/orders so the customer sees the exact total and any missing domain requirements. When supplied, paymentMethod is a checkout hint for the invoice that would be created: card, swish, bankgiro, sepa, or invoice. Account credit is handled after invoice creation.

Body

Optional for authenticated API-key/session orders. Use only to override or provide missing profile fields returned by availability/validation requirements. Required for unauthenticated signup orders.

paymentMethod string · enum · Example: card

Canonical checkout preference for the invoice created by the order. Use `card` for card-backed hosted checkout flows, `swish` for Swish, `bankgiro` for Swedish SEK invoice payment, `sepa` for EUR SEPA bank transfer, or `invoice` to create the invoice without starting a specific payment flow. Provider names are not public v2 method values. Account credit is applied after invoice creation through the invoice credit action.

attemptKey string · Example: order_attempt_01hxa3b4c5d6e7f8g9h0j1k2m3

Optional caller-generated idempotency key for retry-safe order creation. Generate a fresh value for each logical order/checkout attempt and reuse that exact value only when retrying the same request after a timeout or lost response. If the previous attempt created an order, repeats with the same key within the duplicate-prevention window (currently one hour) return that existing order/invoice instead of creating another order. Do not reuse a key for a different cart.
