Path parameters

orgIdstringRequired
The opaque organization id issued to you, normally CUID-shaped (for example cmsx…). It is not an org_-prefixed alias. Pass it unchanged in every organization-scoped path.

Headers

Idempotency-KeystringRequired
A unique value per logical operation, 1-255 chars of A-Z a-z 0-9 _ . : -.
More
Reuse it to retry. Same key with the same body replays the stored response; same key with a different body is a 409, because answering with the first call's result would hand you a receipt for a payout you did not request. A 4xx releases the key, so you can fix the body and reuse it.

Reuse it; do not generate one per attempt. A key minted per attempt defeats replay entirely: every retry looks like a new request, so every retry pays. We also watch for an identical body arriving under a different key within 15 minutes and refuse it with DUPLICATE_REQUEST_DETECTED.

Records are kept for 7 days. That is a retention window only: there is no path where an expired key is re-executed.

Body

This endpoint expects a JSON object.

namestringRequired
descriptionstring | nullOptional
imageBase64string | nullOptional
data:image/png;base64,... or image/jpeg, at most 700,000 characters (about 500KB). Shown on the payer page.
currencystringRequired
Allowed values:USDEURGBPAED
Show 10 more values
MXNBRLARSINRCNYHKDPHPSGDIDRTHB
unitAmountstringRequired
Must be above zero.

Behavior

A link made from it copies the name and price at that moment; changing the product later changes nothing about links already made from it (the description and image are read live, so a typo fixed here is fixed on every live page).

(name) is unique among your active products: a second 409s. Archive the old one to reuse the name. Idempotency-Key is required on an API key.

Responses

201The product.

Errors

400
VALIDATION_ERROR (a field is malformed; errors names each), BAD_REQUEST (a request we understood but cannot carry out, named in detail: editing a published link, deleting one that was live, both productId and items), LINK_EXPIRED (publishing a draft whose expiresAt has passed), or, on a write, IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REQUIRED / IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_INVALID (the header is missing or malformed).
401
The key was refused. Nothing ran.
- UNAUTHORIZED: missing, invalid or revoked, or a key on a route that does not accept one.
- KEY_EXPIRED: the key passed the expiry it was issued with. Issue a new one; an expired key cannot be rotated.
- KEY_IP_NOT_ALLOWED: the key is pinned to source addresses and this request came from another.
403
A valid key that may not make this write. Nothing was changed.
- FORBIDDEN: the key belongs to a different organization, or your business has not completed verification to accept payments; detail says which.
- ACCOUNT_BLOCKED: API access for your organization is suspended.
- LIVE_KEY_ORG_NOT_APPROVED: a live key, before we have approved your business verification. Use a test key until then.
- INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE: a read-only key.
409
A product with that name already exists, or the Idempotency-Key was reused with a different body.
429
Too many requests. The default ceiling is 100 requests per minute per API credential on a 60-second window. High-volume payout and reconciliation routes declare a 600/minute override, and batch submission a 30/minute ceiling. A separate 2,000/minute per-source-IP abuse ceiling always applies.

Obey Retry-After; it is in seconds and is authoritative. A 429 means the request was refused before the handler ran. Retry reads normally; retry an idempotent mutation with its same Idempotency-Key.

Error body · Error

typestringRequired
Stable machine-readable code.
detailstringRequired
What went wrong, in a sentence. Always a string, so detail.toLowerCase() is safe.
More
This is the field to read on BAD_REQUEST and PROVIDER_REJECTED, where the type alone does not name the condition.
messagestringRequired
The same text as detail, kept for integrations written before detail existed. Read detail.
resolutionstringOptional
What to do about it, when there is a specific answer. It is not on every error (it is absent on BAD_REQUEST, NOT_FOUND, PAYOUT_NOT_CANCELABLE and DESTINATION_ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND), so treat it as optional and fall back to detail.
statusintegerRequired
HTTP status, repeated in the body.
statusCodeintegerRequired
The same value as status, kept for integrations written before status existed. Read status.
requestIdstringRequired
Quote this to support and we can find the exact request. Also sent as the x-request-id response header, which is the only place it appears on a successful response. Success bodies do not carry it. Send your own x-request-id on the request and we use it, so your trace and ours share one identifier; otherwise we mint one.
errorsarray of stringOptional
Present on VALIDATION_ERROR; names each field that failed.
originalIdempotencyKeystringOptional
On DUPLICATE_REQUEST_DETECTED only. Send the request again with this to receive the original payout instead of making a second one. Without it there is no way to recover except by risking a double payment.
originalPayoutIdstringOptional
On DUPLICATE_REQUEST_DETECTED only. The payout the first request created.
originalBatchIdstringOptional
On a batch DUPLICATE_REQUEST_DETECTED. The run the first request created.
originalRequestIdstringOptional
On a 409 PAYOUT_OUTCOME_UNKNOWN replay. The requestId of the call whose outcome is unknown; quote it to support.
existingRecipientIdstringOptional
On BANK_ACCOUNT_ALREADY_LINKED. The recipient in your organization that already holds this account.
existingMethodIdstringOptional
On BANK_ACCOUNT_ALREADY_LINKED. The payment method on that recipient.

Branch on type, never on the status or the message. Every error type is listed with what to do about it.
