# 2025-04-10: CE - Cart Validation and Configuration Improvement

## Overview

A new cart validation endpoint is now available, enabling carts to be validated without applying any changes. This allows external systems to check cart consistency and business rules safely and efficiently.\
Additionally, a new configuration setting has been added to improve performance when working with large carts. It allows the system to skip validation of existing cart items when a new item is added, reducing processing time and enhancing the overall user experience.
