      summary: Create Cart
      description: 'Creates a new punchout session and forms a cart with the provided parts. Orders are separated by supplier store.


        For partners that use our Catalog quoting API, use this method to create a cart for placing orders.


        In this method PartsTech attempts to find the correct parts for each order, given the part information that is provided in the request. The more part information that is provided in the request, the more accurate and efficient the parts selection will be. In addition to the required fields, providing at least each part''s `lineCardId` will enable a much more accurate parts selection. In some cases, providing only the `storeId` and `partId` is not enough to uniquely identify a part.


        Returns a unique `sessionId` and `redirectUrl` to get access to the punchout session through the site.'
