Validate a promo code without applying

Request

Checks if a promo code is valid for this cart without applying it. Returns a discount preview (estimated amount, description, applicable items) for valid codes, or a rejection reason and message for invalid codes.

Use this endpoint to show the customer what discount they would receive before they commit to applying the code.

Note: The discount preview is an estimate. The actual discount is computed when the code is applied via POST /carts/{cart_id}/promo-codes.

Security
oauth2
Path
cart_idstring(uuid)required

Unique identifier for the cart.

Query
codestring<= 30 charactersrequired

The promo code to validate (case-insensitive).

Example: code=SUMMER25
curl -i -X GET \
  'https://developers.tote.ai/_mock/online-ordering/spec/openapi/carts/{cart_id}/promo-codes/validate?code=SUMMER25' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>'

Responses

Validation result with discount preview or rejection reason.

Bodyapplication/json
codestringrequired

The promo code, normalized to uppercase. Always returned as uppercase regardless of input casing.

Example: "SUMMER25"
validbooleanrequired

Whether the code is valid for this cart. When true, discount_preview contains the estimated discount. When false, rejection_reason and rejection_message explain why.

discount_previewobject or null

Estimated discount this code would provide if applied. Present when valid is true. Null when valid is false.

rejection_reasonstring or null

Machine-readable reason why the code is invalid. Present when valid is false. Null when valid is true.

  • INVALID_CODE: The code does not exist or is not recognized.
  • EXPIRED: The code has passed its expiration date.
  • ALREADY_USED: The code has already been redeemed (single-use codes).
  • MINIMUM_NOT_MET: The cart does not meet the minimum order amount for this code.
  • NOT_APPLICABLE: No items in the cart are eligible for this code.
  • ALREADY_APPLIED: A promo code is already active on this cart. Remove it first.
Enum"INVALID_CODE""EXPIRED""ALREADY_USED""MINIMUM_NOT_MET""NOT_APPLICABLE""ALREADY_APPLIED"null
rejection_messagestring or null

Human-readable rejection message. Present when valid is false. Safe to display to the end user.

Example: "This promo code has expired."

Remove a promo code from a cart

Request

Removes the specified promo code from the cart. The associated discount is removed and totals are recalculated. Returns the updated Cart with the promo removed from promo_codes and the discount removed from totals.

The code path parameter is case-insensitive -- the server normalizes it before matching.

Idempotency: This endpoint supports idempotent requests. Include an Idempotency-Key header (UUID v4) to safely retry requests. Successful responses are cached for 24 hours; error responses are not cached.

Security
oauth2
Path
cart_idstring(uuid)required

Unique identifier for the cart.

codestringrequired

The promo code to remove (case-insensitive).

Example: SUMMER25
Headers
Idempotency-Keystring(uuid)<= 40 charactersrequired

A unique key (UUID v4) to ensure idempotent request processing. Required on all POST, PUT, and DELETE requests.

If a request is retried with the same key within 24 hours, the server returns the cached success response without re-processing. Error responses are NOT cached -- retrying after an error with the same key will re-execute the request.

Generate a new UUID v4 for each unique operation. Reuse the same key only when retrying a failed or timed-out request.

Example: d7a8fbb3-07d4-4e3c-b5f2-9a6c8b1e0f23
curl -i -X DELETE \
  'https://developers.tote.ai/_mock/online-ordering/spec/openapi/carts/{cart_id}/promo-codes/SUMMER25' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' \
  -H 'Idempotency-Key: d7a8fbb3-07d4-4e3c-b5f2-9a6c8b1e0f23'
