        ]
      },
      "errors": []
    }
  }
}
```

### Errors

If the cart is not found then a corresponding error is returned

```JSON JSON
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Cart not found: someInvalidCartId",
      "path": [
        "submitCart"
      ],
      "extensions": {
        "code": "CART_NOT_FOUND_ERROR"
      }
    }
  ],
  "data": null
}
```

If the cart is expired (older than 10 days) then a corresponding error is returned

```JSON JSON
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Cart expired: someExpiredCartId",
      "path": [
        "submitCart"
      ],
      "extensions": {
        "code": "CART_EXPIRED_ERROR"
      }
    }
  ],
  "data": null
}
```

### Expected cart behavior

<Note>
  * If the cart has already been submitted then `ALREADY_SUBMITTED`error is returned

  * If [`BuyerIdentity`](/api-reference/buyeridentity) has not been provided with [`createCart`](/api-reference/createcart) or [`updateCartBuyerIdentity`](/api-reference/updatecartbuyeridentity) then `BUYER_IDENTITY_MISSING` error is returned.

  * If [`BuyerIdentity`](/api-reference/buyeridentity) contains invalid fields then a corresponding error is returned, e.g. `BUYER_IDENTITY_INVALID_PHONE`.

  * If [`BillingAddress`](/api-reference/billingaddressinput) contains invalid fields then a corresponding error is returned, e.g. `BILLING_ADDRESS_INVALID_PHONE`.

  * If the cart submission failed due to an unknown reason then `SUBMIT_CART_FAILED` error is returned.
</Note>

<Note>If the cart contains products from different stores then multiple orders will be created - one order per each store.</Note>

<Warning>Success response of this mutation does not guarantee that the order has been placed successfully. To track order status use [`checkoutByCartID`](/api-reference/checkoutbycartid) or [`orderByID`](/api-reference/orderbyid) mutations</Warning>

<Note>
  **If the cart has been successfully submitted, an attempt to submit the cart again will lead to an error.**

  If the cart has multiple stores it is possible that checkout succeeds only for some of them. In this case, the cart can be submitted again. It has no effect on already submitted stores in the cart.
</Note>
