# Orders

Source: https://developers.swell.is/frontend-api/orders

**Swell.js:**

Methods to retrieve order details and convert the cart to an order.

### Get order details

When a cart is submitted, the newly created order will be returned. However, you can use this method if you need to get the order information separately. You can also retrieve an order with a `checkout_id`, allowing you to display order details from an email containing a link like `https://my-store.com/order/{checkout_id}`.

Returns order with the passed ID, or if no parameters are passed, the last order placed in the current session.

await swell.cart.getOrder('878663b2fb4175b128e40de428cd7b0c')
