This guide creates a Walmart add-to-cart link. Replace the placeholders with the projectId and API key Incarts issued for your integration, plus your retailer product IDs.
1

Set the base URL

export INCARTS_API_BASE_URL="https://incarts-api-qob6vapoca-uc.a.run.app"
2

Set your API key

export INCARTS_API_KEY="ic_live_your_key_here"
Every authenticated endpoint expects the key in the X-Incarts-API-Key header. Incarts issues an API key with the scopes your integration needs.
3

Set your project ID

export INCARTS_PROJECT_ID="proj_abc123"
Incarts provides this value during onboarding. It identifies which project owns the created link.

Create a shoppable link

curl --request POST "$INCARTS_API_BASE_URL/v1/links" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "X-Incarts-API-Key: $INCARTS_API_KEY" \
  --header "Idempotency-Key: link-create-20260521-001" \
  --data '{
    "projectId": "'"$INCARTS_PROJECT_ID"'",
    "name": "Summer grilling basket",
    "publicName": "Shop the grilling list",
    "retailer": "walmart",
    "intent": "add_to_cart",
    "products": [
      {
        "retailerProductId": "550098461",
        "quantity": 1,
        "backupProductIds": []
      }
    ],
    "fallbackUrl": "https://www.walmart.com/",
    "tracking": {
      "utm": {
        "source": "newsletter",
        "medium": "email",
        "campaign": "summer-grilling"
      },
      "tags": ["grilling", "q3"]
    }
  }'

Use the returned link

A successful request returns a 201 response with the created link resource, including the shareable shortLink and default QR code metadata.
To use Walmart smart-select, include location.zipCode and optionally location.storeId. Without location data, Walmart requests create a direct add-to-cart URL from the product IDs you send.
