# Associate Carts

Associate Carts allow [Associates](/api/projects/business-units.md#associate) to interact with [Carts](/api/projects/carts.md) on behalf of a [Business Unit](/api/projects/business-units.md).

Associates can view, create, update, and delete Carts on behalf of a Business Unit. The actions a given Associate is allowed to perform depends on the specific [roles and permissions](/api/associates-overview.md) they hold within the Business Unit.
