Checkout events
Record a checkout starting
Records a checkout-started analytics event for a cart, attributed to the visitor’s session and, when metadata.attribution identifies a rep, to that rep. Send the shop in metadata.fluid_shop, the session token from Start a new session in metadata.fluid_session, and the cart_token. No authentication is required. Returns 404 when the shop does not resolve or the cart does not belong to it, and 422 when the session token is invalid. The response carries only the status and request metadata. Used by the FairShare SDK; direct REST integrations should use checkout-v2026-04.
