# Removing products from cart

## Problem

You have some items in your shopping cart and you want to remove one of them.

![A sample cart item removal](/files/uUec5zIMljYTzgTvX2KQ)

## Solution

Removing a product (SKU) from your shopping cart means deleting an existing line item. To do that, send a `DELETE` request to the `/api/line_items/:id` endpoint.

### Example

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Request" %}
The following request removes the line item identified by the "aBmNkPQRst" ID from your shopping cart:

```javascript
curl -g -X DELETE \
  'http://yourdomain.commercelayer.io/api/line_items/aBmNkPQRst' \
  -H 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer your-access-token' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json' \
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Response" %}
On success, the API responds with a `204 No Content` status code.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.commercelayer.io/how-tos/placing-orders/shopping-cart/remove-from-cart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
