Asking for my understanding - why do we need this URL string passed through MIAW ?

Asking for my understanding - why do we need this URL string passed through MIAW ?

It's for the Cart team to build a cart link from. Because the cart link doesn't have to follow any specific convention, and there doesn't seem to be an ECOM API they can call to get the base cart link, they need the site owners to provide it.

How does it work with site/locale config here? If the customer sets up the storefront to have site/locale as path, the cart page would become /siteId/en-GB/cart.

[khan-salesforce]

Yeah I've talked to Mukul about this, for now we might have to reconstruct the cart link via agentforce incorporating the locale? But users could also choose to have a completely separate convention.

Do you now if there is an ECOM API where we can get a cart link? We couldn't find one.

[alexvuong]

Unfortunately, no. pwa-kit constructs url based on the config.app.url within the code base and not based on any ECOM API atm. To see how we construct url. See here

FYI spun up another work item to sync up with Mukul and Thomas Loche around this. For now, I'm merging to our branch to unblock the Cart teams for integration purposes.
