# Create a cart

To create a cart, make the following request:


```bash
curl -X POST '{baseUrl}/carts' \
-H 'X-Musement-Application: {applicationValue}' \
-H 'X-Musement-Version: 3.4.0' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{}'
```

The response will return an empty cart:


```json
{
	"uuid": "cc6fcf36-2ec6-41b8-b715-1072d4e441e4",
	"items": [],
	[...]
}
```

Hold onto the cart's `uuid` property. You'll need it whenever you need to add products, update customer details or create an order.

Abandoned carts
Carts without an order are automatically removed after three months.
