Update cart attributes and notes

From the cart page, you can pass cart attributes and notes with subscription orders. This is useful if you need to collect additional information from your customers, such as order instructions or whether an item should be gift wrapped. After checkout, this information is saved in the customer's account in Recharge and included in future orders. This guide outlines how to make changes to the cart attributes or notes on a customer's subscription.

Before you start

• Only store admin can make changes to the cart attribute and notes on a subscription. If you would like to give your customers the ability to make these changes, you will need to use the Recharge API.
