Delete Cart Line Item | BigCommerce Developer Center

Deletes a Cart line item.

Notes

Removing the last line_item in the Cart deletes the Cart.

To prevent lost updates due to concurrent requests overriding changes made by others, it is recommended to enable optimistic concurrency control by including the version field in the request payload. If the provided version does not match the version on the server, a conflict error will be returned, which the client can handle accordingly.
