# Release an order checkout

`POST /teams/{slug}/orders/{order_id}/checkout/release`

## Request

- URL: `https://api.presscart.com/teams/{slug}/orders/{order_id}/checkout/release`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Ends the order checkout session when the checkout page is left and returns its held credits. A session whose payment has started keeps its hold. With session_id, a session that is no longer the order open current session is left alone; with page_id, a session another page opened or took over is left alone, and an unowned one ends only when it is the given session_id.

## Path parameters

- `slug` string, required
- `order_id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- object
  - `session_id` string: The session the left page mounted. Alone, only that session is released and only while it is the order's open current session; with page_id, it is released only when no page owns it and it is the order's open current session
  - `page_id` string, uuid: The left checkout page load; when given, the order's open session is released only while that page owns it, or when no page owns it and it is the given session_id

## Response `200`

Released, or nothing to release

- object
  - `released` boolean, required: False when nothing was released or a payment has started
