Change a product's content, visibility and stock bounds

PATCH
/products/{productId}
curl --request PATCH \
--url https://api.partners.collaterate.com/v1/products/example \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "description": "16pt uncoated, full color both sides", "visibility": "HIDDEN" }'

Changes your own site’s product. Send only the fields you want to change; an omitted field is left alone.

This write is NOT atomic, and that is a property of the upstream system rather than a limitation we can hide. Your fields are split across up to four separate upstream sections, each committed independently, and they are applied in a fixed order: content first, then identity and visibility, then the quantity bounds, then supplierReference. If a later section is refused, the earlier ones ARE ALREADY SAVED and the response is 409 product_write_partially_applied naming exactly which sections applied. Re-send the remaining fields rather than assuming nothing happened.

The response is a fresh read of the product, not an echo of what you sent. That matters in two ways. urlPattern is not writable and may be rewritten upstream as a side effect of a name change. And unappliedFields names any field you asked to change whose value did not actually move – requiresApproval and supplierReference are both accepted with a 200 and then silently ignored unless the site’s configuration permits them, so the status code alone cannot tell you whether they landed.

minQuantity and maxQuantity are READABLE on every service type but WRITABLE only on STOCK. Most POD products do have bounds and this API publishes them – but on POD they belong to the print-job classification that prices the product, not to the product, and one classification can govern thousands of products across many sites. There is no per-product value to change, so a write is refused with 422 unsupported_field_for_service_type rather than accepted upstream and then invisible here. DIGITAL products have no bounds at all.

Share-backed (SLS_) products are writable, with one extra rule. Their display fields may be INHERITED from a master product – overrideDisplay on the read tells you which – and sending null for description, metaDescription or metaKeywords does NOT restore inheritance: it copies the master’s current value into this share, which then stops tracking it. That is refused with 400 sls_null_backfills_master. To restore inheritance send overrideDisplay: false, which re-inherits those fields together.

Attribution: the upstream system records a shared Collaterate service account as the editor of every change made through this API, not you – it has no way to record a partner. Your identity, the fields you changed and the outcome are recorded in this API’s own audit trail instead. If an audit record cannot be written the request is REFUSED with 503 rather than applied unattributably.

productId
required
string
/^(SLO|SLS)_\d{1,18}$/

The SLO_ prefixed identifier of a product on one of your granted sites.

Media typeapplication/json

PATCH /v1/products/{productId} – a strict allow-list. Every field is optional and an omitted field is left unchanged, but the object must not be empty, and any property not listed here is refused by name with 400 invalid_product_patch rather than ignored.

A null clears a text field. A null on visibility, requiresApproval, minQuantity or maxQuantity is refused with null_not_supported – those are set, not cleared.

Not writable through this endpoint, and refused by name so the reason is visible rather than mysterious: excludeFromSearch, imagePath, defaultQuantity, attributes and fulfillmentCenterName (all published on read, none with an upstream write path); urlPattern (derived from name upstream); price and anything else pricing-related; and inventory in any form – see availableInventory on the read schemas, which stays read-only.

visibility

The same three values the read path publishes. VISIBLE_TO_SOME shows the product only to its assigned segments, which are managed separately.

string
Allowed values: HIDDEN VISIBLE_TO_ALL VISIBLE_TO_SOME
overrideDisplay

Share-backed (SLS_) products only400 on a site-owned product, which has nothing to inherit from.

Sending false restores inheritance from the master product for description, metaDescription, metaKeywords and the thumbnail fields TOGETHER; this is the only way to restore it, and sending null for one of those fields does not (see sls_null_backfills_master). Sending true makes this share’s own values stand.

Side effect worth knowing before you send false: it also overwrites this share’s four content-template columns with the master’s. That is the upstream behavior of the single flag, not something this API adds, and there is no way to restore inheritance for the display fields without it.

boolean
requiresApproval

Accepted with a 200 and silently ignored unless the site’s configuration permits it. Check unappliedFields in the response rather than the status code.

boolean
minQuantity

STOCK products only; 422 on anything else.

integer
maxQuantity

STOCK products only; 422 on anything else.

integer
supplierReference

Accepted with a 200 and silently ignored unless the service account holds the upstream permission for it. Check unappliedFields.

The product as it now stands, re-read after the write, plus unappliedFields.

Media typeapplication/json
object
productId
required

The identifier passed in the path. See Product.productId.

string
siteId
required

The granted site this product belongs to.

integer
name
required
string
description
required

For an SLS_ product this is the value the storefront shows: the SHARE’s own copy when it overrides the master system offering’s display fields, otherwise the MASTER’s. Resolved by this API rather than read straight from the catalog view, which applies that rule to a warehoused share and not to a print-on-demand one.

string | null
serviceType
required

STOCK, POD, or DIGITAL. Only the first two are orderable through this API; a DIGITAL product is listed (it is catalog) but never orderable.

string
Allowed values: STOCK POD DIGITAL
shippable
required
boolean
updatedOn
required

The MAX updatedOn across this product’s variants, so a change to any one of them moves it, not just a change to the first.

string format: date-time
artworkSource

Product-level, like serviceType/shippable above – not per-variant. See Product.artworkSource.

string | null
Allowed values: USER_UPLOAD STORED TEMPLATE PLUGIN
productStatus
required

Always ACTIVE today. See Product.productStatus.

string
visibility
required

Product-level, shared by every variant. See Product.visibility.

string
Allowed values: HIDDEN VISIBLE_TO_ALL VISIBLE_TO_SOME
orderable
required

Product-level – its inputs (fulfillment center, service type, visibility) are all offering-level, so every variant shares it. See Product.orderable.

boolean
namePlural
required

The plural display name, when the site has set one.

string | null
excerpt
required

Short storefront blurb, when set.

string | null
metaDescription
required

SEO meta description, when set. For an SLS_ product this is the master system offering’s unless the share overrides the master’s display fields – the same inheritance description documents, and the same values the storefront renders.

string | null
metaKeywords
required

SEO meta keywords, when set. Inherited from the master system offering on the same rule as metaDescription.

string | null
urlPattern
required

The storefront URL slug, when set.

string | null
excludeFromSearch
required

Whether the site excludes this product from storefront search.

boolean
imageUrl
required

Fully-qualified URL of the product’s PRIMARY image. See Product.imageUrl.

string | null
thumbnailUrl
required

Fully-qualified URL of the primary image’s thumbnail, or null.

string | null
overrideDisplay
required

Whether a share-backed (SLS_) product overrides the master product’s display fields, or null on a site-owned (SLO_) product, which has no master and no override mechanism at all.

One flag covers several fields. false means description, metaDescription, metaKeywords and the thumbnail fields are all INHERITED from the master, and the values published here are the inherited ones – the same values the storefront shows. true means this share’s own values stand. There is no per-field inheritance, and writing one of those fields does not change the flag.

boolean | null
requiresApproval
required

Whether the site requires an approval step before this product’s orders proceed.

boolean
supplierReference
required

The site’s own supplier reference for this product, when set.

string | null
fulfillmentCenterName
required

The fulfillment center this product ships from, by name, or null when none is assigned – in which case the product is never orderable.

string | null
stockUnitOfMeasure
required

The unit the inventory fields count in (e.g. EA), when set.

string | null
segments
required

The segments this product is assigned to – what visibility: VISIBLE_TO_SOME gates on – ordered by name. Sourced from the segment assignments themselves, never from the catalog view’s denormalised (and unreliable) segment code column. [] means no assignments, which only matters when visibility consults them.

Array<object>

One segment assignment within ProductDetail.segments: the id and name only. The segmentId is the same id GET /v1/segments lists, and that endpoint carries each segment’s description – the vocabulary belongs there, not repeated on every product assigned to it.

object
segmentId
required
integer
name
required
string
variants
required
Array<object>

One variant within ProductDetail.variants – everything about a variant of GET /v1/products/{productId}’s product that is NOT shared with its other variants. weight is the same decimal-string field Product.weight publishes, unchanged.

object
variantId
required

The specific variant, or null for a POD product, which has no variant until the job is configured. Send it back exactly as received, null included, on an order line – see Product.variantId.

integer | null
sku
required

null for a POD product, which has no SKU.

string | null
availableInventory
required

Stock on hand, or null when untracked. See Product.availableInventory.

integer | null
inventoryTracked
required

Whether availableInventory means anything. See Product.inventoryTracked.

boolean
minQuantity
required

Minimum orderable quantity, or null for no minimum.

integer | null
maxQuantity
required

Maximum orderable quantity, or null for no maximum.

integer | null
weight
required

Per-unit weight as a decimal string, or null for a POD product, which has none until the job is configured. See Product.weight.

string | null
attributes
required

This variant’s attribute pairs. See Product.attributes.

Array<object>

One attribute pair of a variant. Both sides are always present – incomplete pairs are not published.

object
name
required

The attribute’s name, e.g. Color.

string
choice
required

This variant’s choice for it, e.g. White.

string
actualInventory
required

On-hand stock before reservations and backorders, or null when untracked – all four inventory fields are null together. See Product.actualInventory.

integer | null
reservedInventory
required

Stock reserved by open orders, or null when untracked.

integer | null
backorderInventory
required

Quantity on backorder, or null when untracked.

integer | null
defaultQuantity
required

The quantity the storefront pre-fills, when one is set.

Null for every STOCK product, always – there is no such setting on a stock product upstream, so this is not a gap in your data. On POD products it is derived from the pricing configuration, which this API does not expose. It is read-only and cannot be written through PATCH /v1/products/{productId}.

integer | null
unappliedFields
required

Fields you asked to change whose value did not move. Empty on a clean write. A non-empty list is not an error – it means the upstream system accepted the request and did not apply that field, which only a re-read can reveal.

Array<string>
Example
{
"serviceType": "STOCK",
"artworkSource": "USER_UPLOAD",
"visibility": "HIDDEN"
}

The body is empty, names a field that is not writable, or gives one the wrong type; or the productId path segment is malformed; or the upstream system rejected the change.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code HTTP status Meaning Retry?
invalid_cursor 400 The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id 400 The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number 400 The order number in the path is not a positive integer. No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id 400 The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type 400 GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported 400 An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request 400 POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipToor GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id 400 The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity 400 The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request 400 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number 400 The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. No – fix the path.
invalid_token 401 The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope 403 The token lacks the scope required for this operation. No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found 404 No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). No.
order_item_not_found 404 No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. No.
product_not_found 404 No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). No.
quote_product_not_found 404 The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. No.
template_not_found 404 GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. No.
submission_not_found 404 No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. No.
ordering_not_provisioned 409 POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused 409 POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review 409 A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled 409 A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. No.
quote_invalid 422 Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available 422 POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded 429 Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error 500 Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable 503 Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

}

Missing, expired, or otherwise invalid credential. Not retryable as-is.

Produced by the API gateway’s authorizer, before the request reaches any application code, so every cause – no Authorization header, a malformed one, a token that is expired, wrongly signed, from the wrong pool, or belongs to a credential that has been disabled – yields this identical response. The gateway is configured to answer in the same application/problem+json shape as everything else, so you do not need a second parser for this status; what it cannot do is tell you which of those causes applied.

detail

Human-readable explanation. Do not parse this – it may be reworded without notice.

string
requestId
required

Echoes the request’s id. Include this when contacting Partner Integrations about a specific failed call – it resolves directly to one log entry.

string
Example
{
"type": "about:blank",
"title": "Unauthorized",
"status": 401,
"code": "invalid_token",
"detail": "The credential presented with this request is missing, expired, or invalid.",
"requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."
}

The credential is valid but lacks the scope required for this operation (for example, a token minted without partner-api/orders:read). Not retryable as-is – request a token with the required scope. Not to be confused with an out-of-scope order, which is a 404 (see above), or with the edge firewall’s 403 on /ping, which carries no problem document at all.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code HTTP status Meaning Retry?
invalid_cursor 400 The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id 400 The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number 400 The order number in the path is not a positive integer. No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id 400 The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type 400 GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported 400 An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request 400 POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipToor GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id 400 The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity 400 The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request 400 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number 400 The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. No – fix the path.
invalid_token 401 The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope 403 The token lacks the scope required for this operation. No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found 404 No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). No.
order_item_not_found 404 No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. No.
product_not_found 404 No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). No.
quote_product_not_found 404 The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. No.
template_not_found 404 GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. No.
submission_not_found 404 No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. No.
ordering_not_provisioned 409 POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused 409 POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review 409 A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled 409 A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. No.
quote_invalid 422 Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available 422 POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded 429 Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error 500 Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable 503 Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

The field cannot be written on this product’s service type. minQuantity and maxQuantity are readable everywhere but writable only on STOCK.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code HTTP status Meaning Retry?
invalid_cursor 400 The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id 400 The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number 400 The order number in the path is not a positive integer. No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id 400 The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type 400 GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported 400 An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request 400 POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipToor GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id 400 The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity 400 The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request 400 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number 400 The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. No – fix the path.
invalid_token 401 The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope 403 The token lacks the scope required for this operation. No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found 404 No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). No.
order_item_not_found 404 No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. No.
product_not_found 404 No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). No.
quote_product_not_found 404 The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. No.
template_not_found 404 GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. No.
submission_not_found 404 No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. No.
ordering_not_provisioned 409 POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused 409 POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review 409 A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled 409 A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. No.
quote_invalid 422 Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available 422 POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded 429 Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error 500 Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable 503 Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

Your rate limit or daily quota was exceeded. Retryable – honor the Retry-After header (seconds) before your next attempt.

Like the 401, this comes from the gateway’s usage plan rather than from application code, and is configured to carry the same problem document as every other error so a single parser covers the whole API.

detail
required

Human-readable explanation. Do not parse this – it may be reworded without notice.

string
requestId
required

Echoes the request’s id. Include this when contacting Partner Integrations about a specific failed call – it resolves directly to one log entry.

string
Example
{
"type": "about:blank",
"title": "Internal Server Error",
"status": 500,
"code": "internal_error",
"detail": "An unexpected error occurred.",
"requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."
}

Transient failure in the service or the database it reads from (for example, the Aurora reader could not be reached in time), or the request never reached application code at all because the Lambda behind it crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit. Retryable, with backoff.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code HTTP status Meaning Retry?
invalid_cursor 400 The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id 400 The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number 400 The order number in the path is not a positive integer. No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id 400 The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type 400 GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported 400 An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request 400 POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipToor GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id 400 The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity 400 The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request 400 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number 400 The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. No – fix the path.
invalid_token 401 The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope 403 The token lacks the scope required for this operation. No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found 404 No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). No.
order_item_not_found 404 No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. No.
product_not_found 404 No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). No.
quote_product_not_found 404 The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. No.
template_not_found 404 GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. No.
submission_not_found 404 No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. No.
ordering_not_provisioned 409 POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused 409 POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review 409 A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled 409 A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. No.
quote_invalid 422 Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable 422 POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available 422 POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded 429 Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error 500 Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable 503 Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.
