cartID
CartID is very similar to an Order ID, except most systems do not issue immutable (permanent) identifiers for orders until customers actually place their order (clicking the BUY button).
Something went wrong!
You must be able to persist the CartID accross all Lookup requests for a particular customer (including situations where a customer puts an item in her cart before logging in, then proceeds ordering after logging in).If your system does not provide a mechanism to create unique identifiers, you can omit this parameter (or submit as null) and TaxCloud will provide a unique identifier in the response (which you should persist for subsequent Lookup calls and the ultimate Authorized or AuthorizedWithCapture calls).Response
