Implementation Notes

When using the Delete Cart endpoint, consider the following use cases and best practices:

Important: Deleting a cart is permanent and cannot be undone. Make sure you have a backup or are certain you want to remove the cart before proceeding with this operation.
Tip: If you're looking to simply empty a cart rather than delete it entirely, consider using a PUT request to update the cart with an empty products array instead.
