Drop Zones External Usage Documentation
Drop Zones provide a flexible way to embed external content and services directly into your application interface. A Drop Zone is essentially an embed URL that renders in a specified location within your app, enabling seamless integration with third-party services and custom functionality.
How Drop Zones Work
When you create a Drop Zone, you specify:
- Location: Where the embedded content should appear
- Embed URL: The external url that will be loaded in that location

Token Passing
The fluid checkout app automatically appends a token parameter to your embed URL:
Example:
Your embed URL: https://external-service.com/cart-widget Rendered URL: https://external-service.com/cart-widget?token=cart_abc123xyz
What You Can Do With the Cart Token
Once your external service receives the cart token, you can interact with the cart through our Cart APIs:
Available Operations:
- Update item quantities
- Add or remove items
- Calculate shipping costs
- Process payments through external payment services
