# Cart Lines API

The Cart Lines API provides read-only access to the line items in an order on the [Order status page](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/latest/targets/order-status). Use this API to read merchandise details, quantities, per-line costs, discount allocations, and [bundle](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/product-merchandising/bundles) components for each item the customer purchased.

### Use cases

* **Display order items**: Show the list of products purchased, including titles, images, selected options, and quantities.
* **Show line-level pricing**: Display the cost breakdown for individual line items, including any discounts applied to specific lines.
* **Handle bundles**: Detect and display bundle products by checking each cart line for bundled sub-items.

### Properties

The [`shopify` global object](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/latest#target-apis-define-what-your-extension-does) provides the line items in the order. Access the following properties on `shopify` to read merchandise details, quantities, per-line costs, discount allocations, and bundle line components.

* **lines**

  **SubscribableSignalLike\<CartLine\[]>**

  **required**

  A list of line items in the order. Each line includes the merchandise, quantity, cost, custom attributes, and discount allocations.

### SubscribableSignalLike

Represents a reactive signal interface that provides both immediate value access and subscription-based updates. Enables real-time synchronization with changing data through the observer pattern. This interface extends \`ReadonlySignalLike\` with deprecated fields that are still supported for backwards compatibility.

* current

  The current value of the signal. Equivalent to \`.value\`, accessing this property subscribes to changes when used in a reactive context.

  ```ts
  T
  ```

* destroy

  Cleans up the subscription and releases any resources held by this signal. After calling \`destroy()\`, the signal stops receiving updates from the main thread.

  ```ts
  () => Promise<void>
  ```

* subscribe

  Subscribes to value changes and calls the provided function whenever the value updates. Returns an unsubscribe function to clean up the subscription. Use to automatically react to changes in the signal's value.

  ```ts
  (fn: (value: T) => void) => () => void
  ```

* value

  The current value of the signal. This property provides immediate access to the current value without requiring subscription setup. Use for one-time value checks or initial setup.

  ```ts
  T
  ```

### CartLine

* attributes

  Custom key-value attributes attached to this cart line, such as gift messages or engraving text. Use \`applyCartLinesChange()\` to update these values.

  ```ts
  Attribute[]
  ```

* cost

  The cost breakdown for this line item, including the total price after any line-level discounts have been applied.

  ```ts
  CartLineCost
  ```

* discountAllocations

  Discounts applied to this cart line, including code-based, automatic, and custom discounts. Each allocation shows the discounted amount and how the discount was triggered.

  ```ts
  CartDiscountAllocation[]
  ```

* id

  A unique identifier for the cart line in the format \`gid://shopify/CartLine/\<id>\`. This ID isn't stable and can change after any cart operation, so avoid persisting it. Always look up the current ID before calling \`applyCartLinesChange()\`, because you'll need it to create a \`CartLineChange\` object.

  ```ts
  string
  ```

* lineComponents

  The individual components of a \[bundle]\(/docs/apps/build/product-merchandising/bundles) line item. Each component represents a separate product within the bundle. Returns an empty array if the line item isn't a bundle.

  ```ts
  CartBundleLineComponent[]
  ```

* merchandise

  The product variant or other merchandise associated with this line item. Use this to access product details such as the title, image, SKU, and selected options.

  ```ts
  Merchandise
  ```

* parentRelationship

  The parent line item that this line belongs to, or \`null\` if this is a top-level line item. Used to identify lines added as children of a bundle or other grouped product.

  ```ts
  CartLineParentRelationship | null
  ```

* quantity

  The number of units of this merchandise that the buyer purchased.

  ```ts
  number
  ```

### Attribute

* key

  The identifier for the attribute. Each key must be unique within the set of attributes on the cart or checkout. If you call \`applyAttributeChange()\` with a key that already exists, then the existing value is replaced.

  ```ts
  string
  ```

* value

  The value associated with the attribute key. This is a freeform string that can store any information the buyer or app provides. Attribute values are always strings. To store structured data, serialize it to JSON and parse it when reading.

  ```ts
  string
  ```

### CartLineCost

* totalAmount

  The total price the buyer pays for this line item after all line-level discounts have been applied, but before order-level discounts, taxes, and shipping.

  ```ts
  Money
  ```

### Money

* amount

  The decimal amount of the price. For example, \`29.99\` represents twenty-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents.

  ```ts
  number
  ```

* currencyCode

  The three-letter currency code in \[ISO 4217]\(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO\_4217) format.

  ```ts
  CurrencyCode
  ```

### CurrencyCode

```ts
'AED' | 'AFN' | 'ALL' | 'AMD' | 'ANG' | 'AOA' | 'ARS' | 'AUD' | 'AWG' | 'AZN' | 'BAM' | 'BBD' | 'BDT' | 'BGN' | 'BHD' | 'BIF' | 'BMD' | 'BND' | 'BOB' | 'BOV' | 'BRL' | 'BSD' | 'BTN' | 'BWP' | 'BYN' | 'BZD' | 'CAD' | 'CDF' | 'CHE' | 'CHF' | 'CHW' | 'CLF' | 'CLP' | 'CNY' | 'COP' | 'COU' | 'CRC' | 'CUC' | 'CUP' | 'CVE' | 'CZK' | 'DJF' | 'DKK' | 'DOP' | 'DZD' | 'EGP' | 'ERN' | 'ETB' | 'EUR' | 'FJD' | 'FKP' | 'GBP' | 'GEL' | 'GHS' | 'GIP' | 'GMD' | 'GNF' | 'GTQ' | 'GYD' | 'HKD' | 'HNL' | 'HRK' | 'HTG' | 'HUF' | 'IDR' | 'ILS' | 'INR' | 'IQD' | 'IRR' | 'ISK' | 'JMD' | 'JOD' | 'JPY' | 'KES' | 'KGS' | 'KHR' | 'KMF' | 'KPW' | 'KRW' | 'KWD' | 'KYD' | 'KZT' | 'LAK' | 'LBP' | 'LKR' | 'LRD' | 'LSL' | 'LYD' | 'MAD' | 'MDL' | 'MGA' | 'MKD' | 'MMK' | 'MNT' | 'MOP' | 'MRU' | 'MUR' | 'MVR' | 'MWK' | 'MXN' | 'MXV' | 'MYR' | 'MZN' | 'NAD' | 'NGN' | 'NIO' | 'NOK' | 'NPR' | 'NZD' | 'OMR' | 'PAB' | 'PEN' | 'PGK' | 'PHP' | 'PKR' | 'PLN' | 'PYG' | 'QAR' | 'RON' | 'RSD' | 'RUB' | 'RWF' | 'SAR' | 'SBD' | 'SCR' | 'SDG' | 'SEK' | 'SGD' | 'SHP' | 'SLL' | 'SOS' | 'SRD' | 'SSP' | 'STN' | 'SVC' | 'SYP' | 'SZL' | 'THB' | 'TJS' | 'TMT' | 'TND' | 'TOP' | 'TRY' | 'TTD' | 'TWD' | 'TZS' | 'UAH' | 'UGX' | 'USD' | 'USN' | 'UYI' | 'UYU' | 'UYW' | 'UZS' | 'VES' | 'VND' | 'VUV' | 'WST' | 'XAF' | 'XAG' | 'XAU' | 'XBA' | 'XBB' | 'XBC' | 'XBD' | 'XCD' | 'XDR' | 'XOF' | 'XPD' | 'XPF' | 'XPT' | 'XSU' | 'XTS' | 'XUA' | 'XXX' | 'YER' | 'ZAR' | 'ZMW' | 'ZWL'

```ts
CartCodeDiscountAllocation | CartAutomaticDiscountAllocation | CartCustomDiscountAllocation

        ))}
      </s-stack>
    );
  }
  ```

***

## Best practices

* **Group related lines by product**: Multiple cart lines can reference the same product with different variants or options. Group by `merchandise.product.id` if you need to show a product-level summary.

***

## Limitations

* Cart lines don't include fulfillment or shipping status. To determine whether items have been shipped, use the [GraphQL Admin API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql) through a backend service.
