Execute Cart Simulations from the CLI
Need to validate checkout logic in a container? You can pipe requests to `simulate_order` and capture the resulting JSON output. This is essential for automated testing that doesn't need a UI or browser. The tool processes mock cart data, calculates taxes and shipping based on stored rules, and outputs the full simulated order payload directly to stdio.
Validate Payment Calls via Claude Code
Running payments in CI/CD is tricky. Use `simulate_payment` to validate payment types against mock data without incurring costs or touching real endpoints. The output confirms if the transaction structure passed validation. You write a simple shell script that calls this tool, captures the exit code, and proceeds with other deployment steps only if the payment simulation was successful.
Fetch Client Data for VTEX Checkout
When setting up backend services, you often need client data first. Pipe a call to `get_client_profile` to pull user details into your script's environment variables. This avoids hardcoding sensitive information. If the required field is missing (like an address), you can programmatically run `create_address`, ensuring the record exists before the main checkout service runs.
