The bill resource allows you to generate a bill for a collection of products which is created and stored on the client side. This bill will state what the order consumer will have to pay in total, including all applicable fees, and will give you your options for payment and shipping methods.
Please note that the bill resource is merely a snapshot of all costs and prices, which is only accurate at the time it is generated. Because configurations could change in between generating the bill and placing an order, there is no guarantee that this is exactly what the order consumer will be charged for after placing the order. This should be made clear to the consumer during the ordering process.
Bill can be generated by posting the same format of the payload that is used to create orders. This is a convenient way to use the same data structures on the client side.
