Cart, checkout, and order lifecycle

Generated from COPE public event contracts. Do not edit this page by hand.

Cart, checkout, and order events describe the buyer journey before and after payment. Not every lifecycle event has a published payload schema yet; schema-backed events appear in the generated event schema reference.

Cart States

State	Meaning	Event	Schema-backed page
`created`	A cart was opened for a buyer or checkout flow.	`cart.cart.created`	Schema
`active`	The cart can still change through line item, buyer identity, or currency updates.	`cart.cart_line.added`, `cart.cart_line.updated`, `cart.cart_line.removed`, `cart.buyer_identity.updated`, `cart.currency.changed`	`cart.cart_line.added`, `cart.cart_line.updated`, `cart.cart_line.removed`, `cart.buyer_identity.updated`, `cart.currency.changed`
`abandoned`	The cart did not convert in the configured window.	`cart.cart.abandoned`	Schema
`checkout_created`	The cart moved into a checkout attempt.	`cart.checkout.created`	Schema

Checkout States

Consumption Notes

Treat cart.order.completed as the primary fulfillment signal.
Use payment events when your integration needs payment-state reconciliation rather than order fulfillment.
Events marked pending schema publication are part of the intended public lifecycle surface, but are not ready for payload-dependent integrations until their schema pages are available.
