API Headers
Sitecore Commerce uses Headers passed in via the service APIS to establish context for the call. These Headers are available from within the CommerceContext, which is passed around on all calls. There are standard "known" Headers that are supported upon installation, and additional Headers can be established for specific plugins. Plugins may reference these Headers when taking actions.
Some Headers are only relevant in certain actions. However it is not harmful to include a Header, even if the Header is not used or needed for the particular call.
Below is a list of currently supported API headers.
