const lineItemsToAdd = [
  {variantId: 'Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9Qcm9kdWN0VmFyaWFudC8yOTEwNjAyMjc5Mg==', quantity: 5}
];

// Add an item to the checkout
client.checkout.addLineItems(checkoutId, lineItemsToAdd).then((checkout) => {

];

// Update the line item on the checkout (change the quantity or variant)
client.checkout.updateLineItems(checkoutId, lineItemsToUpdate).then((checkout) => {

];

// Remove an item from the checkout
client.checkout.removeLineItems(checkoutId, lineItemIdsToRemove).then((checkout) => {
